im having the same issue with yobit, i ordered 729.895 Ecash @ .80 and at $1.20 went to sell and realized they only completed 177 and the rest is in some sort of reserve.
are you familiar with this? if i cancell order will i get the price i cancelled at or did i get shafted?

it was in reserved order and i was unaware so im screwed out of alot of money only got paid for 177 instead of the 729.895 so they got me on that one. ill always cancell my order right away and rebuy next time this happens.
Poloniex had probably a DDos attack at this time. Your issue is resulted by another problem. Mostly orders are not fullfilled completely, when the trading volumen is too low at the given price. It also happens for example on poloniex and cryptopia. This issue can only be solved, when you cancel the order and wait for a good price to buy again and reach the trading minimum  to sell it completely. I have a few of these residual amounts.

maybe it is not manipulation of price ethereum,but, possibly it was a bug website of poloniex, since about yesterday's ago, the price is 0.0265 BTC per ethereum and really exist in bittrex.

Your country may be your worst enemy
I have currently 4 open orders on Poloniex, including one BUY order which could have been filled since the market price has been one short moment below the limit I've fixed, but it quickly went back up after that. So I guess there wasn't enough time for a buyer to come up. Those things happen. Note also that sometimes, the Poloniex website is slow. I've had to repeat orders a few times because there weren't saved the first time.

Did you check the order list to see if there was open buy orders of people wanting to purchase ETH from you in that price range?

It's not Poloniex that buys your ETH, it's other traders in the market.

As to your question of whether it would only fill if someone specifically wanted to purchase 500 I can not answer. The system *should* sell it in chunks til it's all sold but... does it? I have no idea.

If not that that may have contributed to the issue.

According to him the price of ETH surpassed the price at which he was selling them for, meaning his order should have been filled

I had an open order to sell 500 ETH at 0.0256 BTC from yesterday but the platform didn't sell any even the price reached 0.0265 BTC !!!
It was a coincidence that  I was on line at this moment so I canceled my open order and sold manually most of my ethers at 0.0262 BTC.
That trade was of course at my favor but what would happen if I did not took action ? If the poloniex-openorder-system don't sell "half" of the ETHers is it not a direct manipulation of ETH price?
Was it a bug or something else happens?
Your thoughts please! Did anybody of you had identical experience?
