If you make the same mistake I did here.
CCP doesn't care.
I just thought you all should know.

It sucks, but it is understandable. You had to input the amount and then you were presented with a confirmation screen. You confirmed the amount. Scamming is forbidden, but this was not a scam. It was an error on your part.
In the other thread someone compared this to invoicing $1 instead of $1.000.000. It's not the same: the cost of reinvoicing is nil compared to $1.000.000. The cost of undoing the GTC transaction could be several times more than the cost of a GTC.
Consider it from this point of view: what should CCP do?
Undoing the GTC transaction and removing the subscription time from the buyer and reenabling your code could cost CCP (in terms of time spent manually hacking the database data) more than the $35 you payed for the GTC. Given that this was your error, would you accept it if CCP offered to do this and invoiced you a few hundred dollars of expenses?
On the other hand if CCP gave you the isks, this would open up a bad wormhole. People would start posting GTC sales for 2 billions, then accept them from an alt account, then make the transaction for a few isks, then petition for the isks on the main and just abandon the alt account (note: the alt account may never have had the full money to begin with).
You have ONLY lost $35. And it was your own error. CCP will make sure there's no scamming in GTC and Character Transfers. But they will not intervene to rectify when PEBKAC (google it). This is no news.

I think they should be human about it, and not beuraucrat.
But I know. I made a mistake. And I lost real-life money for it.

yes this is very stupid on CCPs behalf and it just goes to show they don't give a rats about you(or any of us), all they care about is money.
Its quite easy just to state as a rule if you say you are going to pay a certain amount, and you accept the gtc at a low amount, if petitioned, you will have the agreed value debited from you char (unless you never had that amount on the char to start with - this would be to stop noob account scammers).
For accounts where you did have many millions of isk, if you try to transfer it out, all remaining isk can be debited from any chars and the highest skill char will then be put into the negative.
It isn't a hard concept, its like paying the petrol guy 50c for $50 of petrol, just because he only asks for 50c doesn't mean you don't owe him anymore, if he contacts you and says you haven't paid and you ignore him, it is still fraud and theft...
As I said at the start its just that CCP don't care.
