Sent more than the order asked for

If you send more than the order asks for, the extra does not silently go into the exchange. The order stops and a person reconciles it with you, and support confirms the options — including returning the surplus to an address you control. The reason is the same one that stops an underpayment: the amount is part of the quote you accepted, and changing it without asking would be deciding on your behalf.

Why an overpayment is not simply a bigger swap

The quote you accepted was priced for a specific amount. A larger amount is a different trade at a different price, and there is an upper bound per order as well as a lower one. Treating the surplus as consent to a bigger trade would be an assumption made with your money.

Two deposits to one address

Sending twice to the same order address is a common way to end up here. Both transfers are real and both are visible on chain; what stops is the order, until a person decides with you how to treat the pair. List both transaction hashes when you write.

What to gather before writing

  • The order id, from the address bar of your order page.
  • Every transaction hash involved, not only the largest one.
  • The asset, the network and the exact amount you sent — all three, because two of them cannot identify a transfer.
  • The address you sent from, and a wallet you still control to receive a return.

What to do now

  1. Open your order page. It is the single place the status is true, and it updates itself.
  2. Write to support with the evidence above. A person answers within 24 hours.
  3. None of this asks you to prove who you are. If we need anything from you, it is evidence that you control the sending wallet, not identification.
