Please consider removing the feature that Automatically switch from “Place Order” to “Buy Instantly”.

Example:
- I wanted to place my order, say, 20 [xxoo daggers] @ 1 silver, and
- There is ONE [xxoo dagger] @ 1 silver available right away for instant purchase

Result:
- TP window automatically selects that ONE [xxoo dagger] @ 1 silver and 19 other daggers at higher prices and instead of placing my orders, TP buys all including those of higher prices!!!

Problem:
- If the 19 daggers are priced at 1 gold, then I’ll be so screwed :/

Suggestion:
- Provide two buttons: “Buy Instantly” and “Place Order” beside the “Cancel” button (or whatever layout works better).
- Also, after the order or purchase is made, please show a more detailed message:
“An order of 20 [xxoo daggers] at 70 silver has been placed.”
(instead of a very plain and simple message “An order for 20 has been made…”)
or “You have purchased 20 [xxoo daggers] with 2 gold and 50 silvers].”
(instead of “Pick up your items at the nearest Black Lion trader.”)

Bottom line:
TP should ONLY, and ONLY purchase the item at the set price by the user!!!

This problem still exists…

Same with Selling items, TP would automatically default the selling price to be the lowest price allowed – whereas it would make more sense to set the price to the lowest amount made by other players.

And I miss the old TP where it tells you the lowest sell price you’ve made. Right now there is no fast way to know if you had sold the item before, because you don’t want to compete with your previous sell price.

The automation can really be troublesome rather than useful in this regard.
