What happens if I bid 10g for a 2g item?

I was just placing buy orders, and the trading post was really laggy. I accidentally bid 10g+ on an item which was selling for 2g. In the bottom right corner I could see the gold icon and when hovering over it, it said 8g+.

I’m not sure if I just lost 8g or if it gave me back my 8g.

Does anyone know what happens when you bid more than what an item is currently selling for?

You can never pay more for an item then the lowest offer.

Try it out with -say- a bid of 50c on 1 copper ore. You will only pay the 15c, the other 35c will be returned.

Also… if you are so rich that you do not know if you won or lost 8g… call me up anytime!!! :x
