Answer 2

Typically, the market maker is the one who does this. If you ever see a video of say the NYSE trading floor with those guys in funny jackets -- each one of those guys is a market maker. They represent an individual company, say IBM. The market maker for IBM doesn't typically work for IBM, but for a broker-dealer firm like Goldman Sachs. The guy's job is to "make a market" for the stock. He accepts buy and sell orders, and assigns them either manually or, more typically, has a program that assigns it automatically for him i.e. a computer does the market making, under his watchful eye. The guy has a certain amount of stock that he can use to make the market, so if there isn't a buyer for the stock you are selling, he will buy the stock. Typically all this takes place in a fraction of a second. Sometimes there is more than one market maker for a particular stock.
