Not interesting, I want to choose the people I buy their stuff by their avatars.
I dont want to buy to random people.

I did it once the other day as well. :) Was buying a card and there a few for sale at the same price. One guy had a Thundercats logo as his avatar and that's where mine comes from too so I bought from him even though he was about the 8th listing on the page.

Now I wouldn't have done it if it would have ended up costing me more, I draw a line there.

It didn't occur to me that people didn't also do it. Sure I won't pay more but almost always there is several at the same price so you can be picky about avatar.

I used to buy always from the highest steam level to avoid giving money to the bots. : D
I hope this new system kills the bots ... they were everywhere .. and when I say it I mean it ... EVERYWHERE.

Oh wow, I didn't even scroll down enough to notice that they actually took away the listings and just left that system, Didn't even think of that.

well, you can still trade/gift the card to someone, who sells it on market afterwards.

I'm wondering a few things.

Does it put you at the back of the queue at the price specified when you put in an order? Does it arrange things the same as it did when it was the regular market with people in certain countries being ahead of others due to small differences in exact currency value? Maybe you just go to the back of your own currency?

If buying and you order at a certain price, will it buy if a card is put up for sale at a lower value to what you specified or only at the exact price you specify?

Edit: One more - Can you put in multiple orders either at the same price or at different prices for the same item? If you can, I was thinking you could look to hoover up cards sold at a good bit less than the average price by putting in loads of buying orders at low prices. It would be like using a bot. You could then re-sell for profit at a price more in line with the market.

Yes to the first and last question, once you remove/re-add a card to the market yours is listed last at that price and you work your way up the que.
Answer to the last part, you can create buy orders for double the amount of steam wallet you have (I think it was double at least, something like that)

I think it's meant to counter-act bots.

Yea the amount of time I spent refreshing pages to try to get the stuff I'm buying is so frustrating that most of the time I would just pay more to not have to deal with the cluster of everyone going for it, also nice that now all the bot accounts that are so frustrating are going to be useless because everyone will have a built in steam bot :P

The system is bugged right now :

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/community_market/discussions/0/540744934355913062/#p6

This is not functioning as expected.

The expectation is that the lowest priced available item below the buy order amount is used for the transaction. This is not what is happening.

Buy orders placed at an amount higher than the lowest sell listing are fulfilled immediately with the most expensive listing available for that buy order.

Example listing amounts:
$0.15 x 1
$0.16 x 2
$0.17 x 1
$0.18 x 1
$0.19 x 1
$0.20 & above x 16

A buy order for $0.21 was filled by an item at $0.20.
A second buy order for $0.15 was filled, as expected, at $0.15.
A third buy order for $0.18 was filled at $0.18.
Another buy order at $0.18 would be filled at $0.17.

This was only tested for buy orders where listings already exist below the buy order price.

A workaround for the problem is to set a buy order at the price just below your maximum first. A second buy order can then be completed at the higher price for any further items needed.
