The result is simply beautiful, both visually and functionally.

There is a small bug with the price range, but this is most likely due to the ruble currency. There seem to be some errors in the conversion to rubles.

However, I have an obvious but crucial suggestion: add a CART to the marketplace.

Let's take a simple example: suppose I want to purchase skins for all the weapons I use in my CS2 inventory. What should I do? I need to search for (conditional) 15 skins, confirm the purchase for each one separately, and confirm it from my phone.

With the help of the shopping cart, I could find all 15 skins and simply click "add to cart," find everything I need, and then use the shopping cart to pay for all 15 skins at once with one purchase confirmation and one confirmation from my phone.

This is just one example with one game, and no matter how obvious or simple the shopping cart may be, it has greatly simplified my processin any case, it would greatly facilitate large purchases on the marketplace for many games and steam items.

Not possible for non-commodity items because those are unique and while it's in your cart, someone else could have already purchased it.

The problem with a cart is that between the time you put the item in the cart and when you pay for it, either the specific item you picked was sold to someone else or in the case of commodity items (like Steam trading cards) all the ones at that particular price sold out. Heck, even in just the time it takes to click through the current purchase confirmation pop-up, the item might have been sold. I've personally had that happen more than a few times.

Well, this issue is quite solvable, but the item in your cart will change its price relative to the lowest price of the currently sold items, and you will be ready to pay a little more or less over time.

I mean that the item in the cart can change its price in real time, just like it does in the product list on the marketplace, where the lowest price at which an item can be purchased right now is displayed on the right. In the cart, this price can also change in real time.
