I had something similar- ordered 10 unidentified dyes and nothing happened. I figured the TP was somewhat borked again so logged off for the night. Earlier today I logged on and found that all my gold was gone and there were 200 dyes ready to be picked up.
Needless to say I was a tad surprised, and spent a couple of hours selling them in Lion’s Arch and chatting to those who bought them to gamble. Enjoyable, but ridiculously time consuming.
