Title: Faulty order of 0.00BTC!
Post by: DutchMagic on April 26, 2013, 10:22 pm
Around 24 hours ago a new order came in, bought for 0.00BTC. The actual listing was worth more than $70. I discovered this error and contacted the buyer, after which I cancelled.

Did this happen to anyone else? Was it reported? Weirdly enough I received an message from another vendor, saying he heard something about this issue in MY shop on the forum! The buyer it happened with says he did not write anything about the issue. Whats going on?

Sounds like somebody just modified the post data on the fly. Either that or the price somehow got dropped on it's own.

Definitely not that easy; there's a back end that has it's own sanity checks -- if the price isn't what it should be, the order doesn't go through.  At least it never did before: it's been a month at least since I had a reason to notice that.

... just because this sounds so much like I was trying to rip someone off -- no, I was not trying to do anything untoward.  I was working on my client app, that's all.

Sorry about the implication. Another thing I was thinking is the conversion factor could have been passed as 0. Haven't been able to get a page open yet to look at though.

That client looks interesting. I'll definitely have a look through it this week. I started putting something together a few months ago, but stopped after I had mail and search taken care of. That's all I wanted anyway. Everything you have looks really useful though.

It's most useful for vendors; not sure if you are one or not.  I mean anybody's welcome to use it and it's nice to be notified any time you get a message or as soon as a deposit is credited to your account, but I expect vendors are really the only ones other than myself who actually use it all the time.

Just being honest; if you aren't selling anything, it's mostly just a novelty.
