The EVE market is modelled after a Commodities market, in which you legally have to sell the lowest priced item to the buyer,even if they have offered more.
Look at share markets and similar, this is how it works.

This is working as intended.
If you select a sell order and choose to buy from it then the system will charge you the price of said order but deliver goods from the cheapest one. This only happens if the two orders are in the same station.

The idea is to suppress ISK transfer via the market. Monkey want item, monkey get item. Monkey wants to move ISK off a trial account. Try a little harder.
While I agree that the system is a little awkward, I don't see why it is such a big deal.
This person pretty much has it nailed down.

Just to point out, whilst the current behaviour is 'as designed', we do want to change bracket ordering to be more sensible than 'keep the change' method you have currently. It is correct to buy from the lowest seller, however it should be more intelligent in bracketing the order.
Ideally we should bracket fill properly by quantity. Such that if you want to buy 100 units of something, and there are three orders of 50 @ 10, 30 @ 15 and and 40 @ 20 then it should fill the order (50*10)+(30*15)+(20*20) rather than taking 100 at 20 as now.
So in short, I agree the current behaviour could be improved and should be.

I takes the 5 at 100 and pays the seller 200 (1000 in all) for them, and takes another 5 from the 10/200 order
Functioning as intended and as designed.
(You paid no more than you what had indicated that you were willing to pay and all the sellers got at least what they requested.)

No. I paid what I was prepared to pay the individual seller I selected. I did not intend to give money to the other seller.
And who am I to listen to? You or your colleague?
You don't know what seller you have selected when you are buying, the market listings are anonymous. You only know afterward from whom you bought.
You should listen to both of us 
He has some ideas about how to change and hopefully improve the market. Until those new designs are approved and implemented then the market is functioning as designed based on its current designs. That's what matters to me from the software side.
