If the buyer decides to select the offers on their unit price the offers send first will be on top.
Then it will only pushes more expensive offers off the first page.
Unless you intend to accept more expensive offers it doesn't hurt anybody and when you intend to accept more expensive offers there is no reason to whine about pushing the button to reach 2nd page..

If the offer is cheap you buy them all, if it is expensive you ignore them.

I wonder why people regularly create such a fuzz in the forum about a non-issue like this.

I`m power seller and I do this way.

I can`t remember the exact maximum amount that can be sold in market when I`m going to sell my power. Now I checked it is 2.147.483.647 in one line. So you have to calculate and so on... I do 1`000`000`000 and send it out that many times how much I`m planned to sell that time. But not any reason to spam or lower the price or any other bad reason. Just because it is not possible to put all power I want to sell in one shipment to market. Thats why I seperate.

Well I don't really mind people doing that.
In fact this has been discussed before ( and before that and before that..

).

A few max amount power offerings is okay, but many small offerings reduces the information available on the first page of the market. It's bad for the game and unethical.

I agree it is unethical but if you area smart buyer you always check 2 or 3 pages in
