The exchange has transport listed much higher in price than you can currently set (.8-.9), the reason why is price caps based on the trading of the item in volume, price and the game factors in personal sourcing cost. There is a Government Order currently on the market for 18 million transport units and some players have bought out the federal reserves and relisted it for a higher price than they paid for it multiple times.
The price caps are are updated daily at 00:00 UTC - Reference prices
8:00 PM America/New_York
Based on market's trading activity in the last 24 hours, a new reference price is assigned to each product. The reference price is used to estimate players' inventory value and to enforce trading price limits. It's also used to detect favourable trades happening over contracts.
However this reference price has not adjusted higher as many small companies sell transports at the highest possible price and bought out quickly at that price keeping a large volume traded at near .55 keeping the days reference price low. Which means there is a ton of high priced transport units on the market, and a price cap with all suppliers selling at and being bought from instantly.
After the reference prices were updated price caps became .7 so the market begins to fill back up with transports.

Explanation by The Center on how others are able to post higher on the same day:
THE CENTER 35 minutes ago Its manipulating the market and how it works. Basically, .. those players bought out the market at higher prices; until someone came a long and bought out the entire market making the NPC show up and dump products. This causes prices to temporarily have higher limits. Those players now buy out cheaper prices and relist for higher.
