this +1 really MA!
I made this stupid mistake today also. I guess i was lucky i just made mistake for 10 deeds and not hundreds.
Either you don't understand what I am proposing or I am having a hard time understanding you.
It is perfectly possible for orders to bid on items that don't have a low enough buyout (or no buyout at all), and also proceed to buyout on items that can be. And in that last scenario instead of paying whatever the seller has put for buyout just pay whatever the order was offering.
There is no issue with it, both are perfectly compatible and the situation about bidding or not would not change one bit.
The change I propose ONLY AFFECTS BUYOUT EVENTS. And would avoid most auction mistakes with minimal effort and changes from the development team.
If you don't like what I propose it's ok. But the reason you give makes no sense.
Maybe I suck at explaining things, we are going in circles.
Say I want to buy 10 auds for 57 ped each, so I put 570 ped in the order system..
And an abuser sets 10 auds for 58 peds total (which looks like the highest order)
Current system
You would get 10 AUD for 58 PED total (5.8 PED each), your order would be filled and you would be refunded 512 PED (570 - 58). The guy selling has just lost 522 PED due to a mistake.
My proposal
You would pay 57 PED each, as you wanted to pay. And the seller would get 570 PED total, as you very well put into the order system. The guy selling has lost 10 PED due to a mistake.

Fixes the system for deed mistakes, but breaks it for consumer orders.
Still have never understood these auction mistakes. People need to learn to double check...
Please explain how. Also my solution is just a partial suggestion, I'm sure MA can come up with a much better alternative to the current piece of shit system.
Just do something, it wont fix itself...

I think orders should be completely removed, not just because of this issue.
i still disagree to make orders pay the offered pric, see my post on page #3
buyout is buyout. if you can't use it properly, better don't use it at all. and if you use it, always triplecheck.
Hello,
Please make the orders pay what they offer for BUYOUT instead of the seller's buyout.
With this very simple change most auction mistakes would be avoided. The buyer would still get a nice price, actually the one he is offering, instead of feasting on somebody else's mistake. Investors and the playerbase in general would gain confidence in the platform. It's a win-win situation.
I'm not asking for you to babysit anyone, but if you can put a solution with minimum effort why not do it? What exactly do you gain as a company for one guy to go broke and another one to probably withdraw?
Ludvig if you read this, kindly pass the message to the dev team.
Thank you very much.

just remove the damn auction and make all sales go via p2p or shops, and done.
Because the order system can be used for bidding on items as well, not just buyout.
So someone lists an item on AH with a SB of 101% and and no buyout.
Another way to change this whole thing would be to make the order system separate from the auction all together.
So to fulfill an order, you have to click on that order and then open a trade window and trade the items to them...kind of like how mission galatica works where you move your items into a window. It could then transfer Ped to your card for the order amount x number of items being fulfilled.
let's assume someone put 10 AUDs up for the BO price of 1 instead of 10
A) an order gets it for BO price
B) a player snatches it for BO price
why should A pay more than B? this makes zero sense to me, sorry.
