    Market: Purchasing multiple singles or partial stacks

    I've been trying to level up a crafting job and have been faced with a problem. I need to buy many bat wings or imp wings as crafting ingredients and over 200 players are selling them one at a time in the markets. This makes buying them a chore as each time I have to reopen the window for the next purchase of another single wing; Sometimes the window won't show anything to purchase because there's a minimum time I have to wait between each time I pull it up.

    Please allow players to buy from multiple sellers simultaneously by keeping the window open after a purchase is made instead of forcing players to refresh.

    Yes. This and the option to keep the HQ filter on permanently.

    Agreed, the Market Board could definitely use a few tweaks here and there.

    Ditto. The item list window needs to remain open and simply remove the item that was just purchased. If the list cannot be updated on the fly, then just leave the window open with the same listings and force close the window if an attempt to purchase an item results in an error due to the item being unavailable. Then at least we can go down the list manually and buy items without having to re-query the server for the most current listings.

    Exactly:

    1. Keep the window open after purchase
    2. Allow multiply purchase of the same item - via tickboxes for example

    I more often have the opposite problem... that I need one, or five, of something, and everyone's only selling stacks of 99. Le Argh.

    Is it not the case that you can sell multiples of the same item via the same retainer? Perhaps players need to start splitting up the items their selling or SE could make it so it could happen if it can't as it is?

    With there being a tax on the items you sell via the market, I can see a reason why there'd be a minimum amount I'd like to sell at a time.

    I like this feature and I wanted this feature to be implemented as I had similar problems that the OP stated. However, I see some problems that might occur if implemented. The list of items available in market is refreshed every time the item is clicked on the search results list. So if somebody listed something (or somebody bought something), it will not show up unless the list is refreshed. The time it may take to select the items you want to buy might be too long and another player might've already bought one the item you selected. Therefore, an error would occur and you wont be able to buy the unlisted item. Frequent refresh of the list might also not be a good idea as it might overload the servers.

    The issue with needing the list refreshed exists anyway. Normally, someone will bring the list up, look at it for a moment, decide if it's worth buying something there, and then select an item and buy it. That's already enough time for someone else to have bought some of those items, or for something to have been un-listed. If you try to buy something, but it's no longer there, an error box pops up saying it's unavailable. It's relatively rare, but I've seen it happen before.

    Since that issue both already exists and already has measures in place for handling when it happens, I don't see how this request would make it any worse.
