			Every order runs for '''1, 3 or 7 days''' (you choose when placing it; default 3). When it expires it disappears from sellers and can no longer be filled, and within a few minutes it is cancelled automatically: any Gold it still held is returned to you and you get a DM saying so.

Admin: New page: marketplace buy orders — placing, filling, cancelling, escrow, 5% gold fee, caps 3/6, orderable items (new page, content audit)

New page: marketplace buy orders — placing, filling, cancelling, escrow, 5% gold fee, caps 3/6, orderable items (new page, content audit)

New page

'''Buy Orders''' are standing offers to buy on the [[Marketplace]] — "paying up to this much [[Gold]] for up to this many". Where a listing is supply waiting for a buyer, a buy order is demand waiting for a seller: you post what you want and how much Gold you'll pay in total, and any player holding that item can sell straight into your order, even while you're offline.

<div class="kin-note"><span class="kin-note-label">Escrow:</span> The Gold for a buy order is taken from you the moment the order is placed — just as a listed item is held in escrow. A fill can never bounce, and cancelling the order returns whatever Gold hasn't been paid out.</div>

== Where to find them ==

Buy orders live in two places inside the [[Marketplace]] window:

* '''Orders tab''' — the whole catalogue of orderable items, including items nobody is currently selling (that's the point: standing demand matters most when there's no supply). Your own orders are always reachable here, so your escrowed Gold always has a way home.
* '''Item pages''' — open any item from the Buy board and its open buy orders appear under the listings, best offer first. Your own orders carry a '''Cancel''' button; everyone else's carry a quantity box and a '''Fill''' button.

Only items that actually exist in the game (held by at least one regular player) appear on the Orders board.

== Placing an order ==

# Open the '''Orders''' tab (or an item's page) and choose '''Place buy order'''.
# Enter the '''quantity''' you want and the '''total Gold''' you're offering for it.
# Confirm — the total Gold is escrowed immediately and the order goes live.

| Minimum total offer
| 5 [[Gold]]
|-
| Maximum quantity per order
| 10,000
|-
| Open orders at once
| 3 (6 for [[Kintara Club]] members)
|}

For mounts, the order also names the '''trained speed tier''' it wants, and a fill must match that tier exactly — so you can post an order for a fully trained mount without risking being handed an untrained one.

== Filling an order ==

Any player holding the wanted item can sell into an open order from the item's page. '''Partial fills''' are supported: sell 50 into an order for 200 and the order stays open for the remaining 150. Each fill pays a proportional slice of the escrowed Gold, and the fill that completes the order sweeps whatever is left — the payouts always add up to exactly the Gold that was escrowed.

A fill is a sale: the '''5% Gold sale fee''' (minimum 1 Gold) comes out of the seller's payout, exactly as it does when a listing sells. The buyer never pays more than the Gold they escrowed.

== Cancelling ==

Cancel an order at any time from the Orders tab or the item page. The remaining escrowed Gold is returned to you in full; anything already paid out for completed fills stays paid.

== What can be ordered ==

Most tradeable items can carry a buy order — resources, consumables, cosmetics, mounts, pets and furniture. Three things cannot:

* '''Gear with wear''' (armor and higher-tier tools/weapons) — an order can't see an item's remaining durability, so a nearly-broken piece could fill an order priced for a pristine one. Buy those from listings, where the wear is shown.
* '''Property keys''' — bought and sold through listings only.
* '''Gold itself''' — buying Gold with Gold is nonsense.
