Torley Responded to my original post here -

/139/cd/108538/1.html

but that doesn't answer my question. That is in reference to BUYING lindens. My question was about SELLING lindens.

In the post Torley references me to it says -

A Limit Buy order essentially means "I want to control EXACTLY how much I spend, and how much I get. If I CANNOT get the deal I want, DON'T get me anything." Limit Buy estimates are simple- your quantity of L$ divided by your limit rate.

A Market Buy order essentially means "I want to buy lindens, find the BEST price for me AT THIS MOMENT, but GET ME SOMETHING no matter what." Market Buy estimates are done using the sell offers AT THAT MOMENT.


But that doesn't say ANYTHING about if I want to SELL at a set price. Then he goes on to say

I understand your frustration with complication- markets can get complex in a hurry, and now you've got two options to sell and two options to buy. You can always turn your Currency Exchange Interface to the Basic version, which performs Market Buy/Sells and does NOT give you the full complicated set of open buy/sell offers.

But when I go to SELL L$ I do not see two options. I see only one as shown in this screen shot.

So again I ask - Why can I not set what rate I sell at as I previously did? I see one option which is to sell X amount of Linden Dollars, and looks to be at whatever rate they can go for on the market, not at whatever rate I desire (Which I understand someone has to be willing to pay that price.)

I think you need to go into advanced currency mode. To do that, you need to go to My Account (1), then Currency Exchange Settings (2). This should get you to the page you see below. You want to check Advanced and then Submit. After you do this you should see 2 options (limit and market) on both the Sell and Buy pages.
