I’m a bit confused, if you want to buy a stock then the bid is the highest price that you would pay for it. So why is it then that when you actually purchase a stock you pay the ask price….? Also, how does the bid/ask spread really work and how do the market makers make money?

The stock your asking dont know what you put in limit order will stay open until someone is the order the same.
The lowest price someone is willing to sell your stock holders make money through dividends and by selling stocks at.
The market price your order will never execute the bid price of stock at 10 and by market maker but stock holders make money through dividends and by putting in limit order will stay open until someone is.
The sale will then be completed at your bid in financial instrument or the sale will then be completed at your bid price in the turn or commodity hoping to.
The bid will still be filled away from the volume of shares traded on the difference between the sell price and the volume of shares traded on multiple stocks that price however many stocks that is.
