How does "buy order priority" work on Steam Community market? Does it depend on currency too?
Hello.
I've searched for this and found some things but looks like they may not be always true. Is it Last In First Out?
Thanks.

Ok thank you.
And does it depend on currency too? For example if I buy something for USD but someone else is in Brazil are there a different price ranges?

They are based on your local currency, so what price you buy is only USD and not some different.

FAQ Quote: If the items are listed in multiple currencies, the amounts are first converted into your currency before being selected
So does that mean if there is for example 100 of $0.03 orders and 200 of $0.04 orders can they be merged together in different currency as 300 of (something currency) just because of currency rounding errors or is there a primary unit?
I'm just a bit confused because I've placed order like four days ago, according to the chart history already more than double was sold in the ammount I was ordering but still waiting. So I'm not sure whether to cancel the order and place order in the available prices to buy it immediately or to wait.

No, it just converts other prices to your local currency and are not merged.

You wait for the buyer to get your item. If you wanna get the job done quickly, cancel the order and place it at cheaper price.

Ok. I understand now. Thank you.

Well I'm not selling. I'm buying but there has been sold more than double what the listing says. I placed buy order for $0.04 but there has been already around 40 000 of them (at $0.04 price point). I'm waiting 4 days, around 120 000 or more were sold according to the chart but I'm still in queue. (I'm in 40 000 queue, 120 000 were sold but still nothing.)
Or are the charts showing average? (for example 3450 were sold in one hour for $0.04. Does it mean in range from $0.03 to $0.06 so the total ammount in one hour for $0.04 can be around 1500?)
