Chances are there was no actual scam involved here (I'll admit the possibility, but I find it unlikely), just a bit of a misunderstanding. The way the market works isn't quite what you would expect. When you place a sell order, you're setting the minimum price you are willing to accept for the items in question. Usually this is all anyone pays because of how buying an item works.
When you're buying an item what actually happens is you place a buy order with immediate duration, which contains a price per unit, order range, and a maximum and minimum quantity. The market system then resolves the buy order by checking to see if any of the sell orders meet the buy order's requirements and starts from the sell order with the lowest minimum price.
So when the buy order was placed at 1 unit for 3.19 million isk, the market went and found the cheapest unit available for less than 3.19 million isk, matched the orders up and completed the transaction, netting the seller 3.19 million isk and leaving you with one mineral. While not what you intended to happen, the buy order was filled to the letter.

This is the point when you have to make the decision to pay for EVE based on your trial experiences. Because EVE is kinda like that from day one.

that wasn't really a scam since i doubt he intended to take your isk he just wanted to sell the same item.
you should have used a contract or station traded some zyd or whatnot.

This sir, is EVE.
PS: Is this really DBPreacher in disguise? Cause that formatting is just horrible. Disgusting.
