Why don't we have the ability to make specific number purchases from the market?

That's just how it works. The seller is the one in control. Just like in real life. If they only sell something as a bundle then you either buy the bundle or buy nothing.

Because when I need 2 of an item to have someone craft something for me I really want to buy a stack of 99 for several hundred thousand only to have to undercut to resell them in a timely manner.

Drastically undercut.

Just look down the list if someone sell it for less amount. And if the whole list is full with stacks of 99, and the demand seem high on the sell history, buy 1 stack and resell what you not need in stacks of 20 for 15% more.

I'd be pretty annoyed if I put up stacks of things and only a small portion of it sold >.>

Yes, and that sounds fine to me, because I just sold 99 items in one go. If you really wanted only two items, you could make them yourself or have someone else do it, or wait until someone posted a smaller stack on the marketboard; if you can't or won't do any of those things, then you're stuck paying the convenience tax, which in that case was 97 extra items.

That's just how business works, and I'm not sure why these posts keep cropping up, as if we suppliers should feel bad for trying to make a profit. I suppose they could make it an option for the SELLER to allow people to buy what they wanted out of a stack, but if they made it compulsory, I'd be very angry, and I'm sure a lot of others would be as well.

If you only want two and there are not two listed, farm it yourself. If I want to list short stacks, I will. If I don't, I don't want someone buying my listed stacks piecemeal. Don't like the options on the MB, get it/make it yourself - this is how it should be.
