Thank you, good sir. You're the hero that we all need! 🙂

Glad to know I'm not the only one lol! 🙂

fwiw, I'm well on my way to replacing the lost funds as I got a nice hi-value recipe on my next ITF and sold it at a fair price. Yes, I know I should've looked carefully before bidding on the Steadfast Protection recipe but I had been on a bidding frenzy and all had been working just fine up to that point and I was positive that I had highlighted the 0. Pretty sure the fortunate one who sold the recipe to me will not be coming here to read my post and refund his winnings, but it was a shot in the dark at best. Thanks to you who responded, even the ever-so-helpful "stick & headrest" guy. You're a gem. See you in the funny pages!

I was bidding on a lvl 30 Steadfast Protection: Resist/Defense recipe. I had 2,000,000 down and tried to change it by highlighting the first 0 and changing it to a 5 to make a bid of 2,500,000. But the game helpfully inserted the 5 between the 2 and the 0 for me instead of overwriting the 0, creating a bid of 25,000,000... and I clicked the bid button before I noticed the game-induced error. Naturally I won, but had a fit when I realized the amount of the bid. Would the player who sold this recipe for the indicated amount care to help me reverse this? I would be ever so grateful...

I bought a level 50 (purple) recipe from the merit machine, then put it in an email to send it to myself for another character to use. It vanished never to be seen again. I only send/receive emails to myself, and used "reply" from an email I'd sent to myself to be sure the address was correct. I sorted posts by date sent and then by name of post, then went individual post by individual post looking at each one. It ain't there. 100 reward merits down the drain.
