Currency Exchange needs serious work.

There needs to be a set rate at which the price is allowed to fluctuate. Because on SOME items, it's so bad that I literally cannot buy the thing I'm trying to buy. From the time I confirm the price to the .2ms it takes to hit the buy button the price has changed and then I don't get to buy the item. There needs to be at least like 5 seconds per listing or something? I don't know.

The way it works in the first place is kind of stupid to be honest, because it allows for massive market manipulation. Instead of pooling everything together in price groups it would be better to run individual listings, that we could just select and buy. Because it's pretty bad when it's so convoluted that even just buying something is a major PITA.

In fact.....it does the exact opposite. By having it dynamically update constantly it STOPS massive market manipulation. Static listings are what screw with the market (see the Trade website).

Pricing is a dynamic system. You can always pay a little above market value and completely ignore the price fluctuations.

It's also quite the opposite of "convoluted".....its entirely automated. Beyond that, it tells you the average, the median, and the cheapest prices. Before the currency exchange, you needed mutliple 3rd party softwares and endless searching on the website to get that same information. Again, its literally the opposite of what you are describing.
