Guild Wars 2

So, like, I’ve been in the game for over 3 years now and part of my mind is telling me I should know what this is… but alas, I don’t.

Happens all the time, it happened just now. I bought 55 ecto on a bid, when my bid came in so did 1s19c in return, I actually got my 55 ecto and 1silver19copper back, waiting to be picked up

What is the story behind the coin return? Anyone know?

When someone lists a item under the price your buying for before you complete your order the tp will automatically buy it at the lower price. So it sends the difference back to you. I hope i explained it well enough

Oh, I see… so basically they sold it for cheaper than my bid, my bid picks it up and refunds me the excess coin that I was willing to spend but now didn’t have to?

Did I understand this correctly?

Yes. It being a dynamic market when buys and sells are happening all the time means this can happen from time to time.
