Also, for this issue, I think (actually, I HOPE lol) ridiculous bids on level 50+ set IOs still functions as a method to prevent one from accidently overbidding.

Everyone know the Tank Archetype get the most drops of all the types. This is because of their "Death Dealing" powers. I call it the front line bonus...but you'll never read this in the wiki - "Rx10"

That seems like a couple more than 1 zero off. I mean, if they are selling for 150 mill, I'm gonna start farming them in AE.

I discovered that when you post an item for say $10,000, for the next item you post (within that same session) the price defaults to that $10,000, as opposed to the system clearing the price field. I can think of instances where this could be dangerous -- posting it for an unwanted price. I sent a suggestion petition for them to take a closer look at it.
It would be nice if they added a "Prompt for confirmation if your sell/bid offer price exceeds X amount" toggle. That way you could set X to an amount you are comfortable with.

There's also a bug where the text entry field doesn't display anything even though there's a number entered there. If you enter another number it still doesn't display anything but if you're quick and don't watch what you're doing you'll wind up posting something for 1000 times what you intend.|

Not quite as bad as buying something for 1.5 billion, but it still smarts a little.
Bought something for 145mil that I intended to buy for 14.5 myself today, not to bad, but I've done way worse (think I did 500mil once or twice).
Had 14,500,000 in the box, went to highlight and change the 4 to a 5. Ended up highlighting the comma accidentally and added a 5 instead of typing over the intended 4....sooo, bought a 'Perf Shift:Chance for end' for 145,000,000. Smarted, but now I know one can highlight the commas.

Ouch that is typing to many 0's
anyways I know when posting an item it warns you when your hold amount is high, and doesnt cause a double take. I know we all wanted that for bidding as that tend to be a place were the pain happens more.

He explained what had happened to support and got his 100M listing fee back.
My suspicion is (and I've had 600M back that I lost going over the inf cap caused by the interface lagging/malfunctioning) that if they don't think you're trying one on, there's a plausible reason other than typing too fast and it doesn't happen often, you will get some redress if you ask and they can find it in the logs.
My worst so far has only been buying a stack of 10 salvage at 5M each when I meant to bid 500K each (fortunately).

Earlier today I saw that three LotG 7.5%s had been purchased for 1,450,000,000 each. I can understand doing that once, decimal error, we've all done it. But twice? You'd need another billion lying around, and you'd have to claim it and place another bid. Hardly accidental. But three times? It strains the limits of credulity to think it wasn't intentional.
