Yep, never happened to me before, but today I accidentally sold 20 keys for the price of 10. 
Naturally they were immediately gone. No naming & shaming, of course -- if for nothing else, because it's really just my own fault -- but I'm nonetheless saddened. Naturally emailed them, but, equally naturally, to no avail. Homo homini lupus est, as they say.
Would be nice, though, if Exchange protected you from obvious mistakes like this (like warning you, and asking for confirmation, if you sell like 50% less the going value).
Anway, feeling rather groggy. Probably made someone happy today, and I guess that's something.

Yeah, that would truly drive me insane.
P.S. I always take the precaution of splitting off my keys in stacks of 20, so I will only ever lose 20 max. Still, Murphy's Law kicked in, regardless.

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
Perhaps break them into stacks of 10 from now on?

Will you believe it, I only got it yesterday!?
And thanks for cheering me up: that LiS reminder *did* put a smile on my face!
Yep, grogginess lingered for a while, but has gone by now.
Take a few extra seconds to make your fortune. Rushing will only get you back to the grind quicker. Yippee!!!

As others have said though, at least you're not going in the exchange blunder hall of fame for that one, it stings but wasn't too bad overall. That leaving a zero off the end on a Temporal Light Cruiser example would be absolutely rage inducing.
Unless of course, you were the one that bought it.
Not a man, btw; but it still sucks nonetheless.
I'm inclined to say I'd give it back under those circumstances, tbh: keeping it just would be too cruel. But, total truth be told, there's also a chance my presumed halo might fall right off if I actually got one that way. Let's not go there.
Um, not to nitpick, but that's not "worse" at all. In fact, it's exactly the same as my situation: I basically gave 10 keys away for free, and you didn't receive any EC for your 10 keys.
Was not aware of that, my apologies.
when i was apart of this fleet in 2011 before they brought me over to swtor in mid 2011, one thing i forgot to pick up was a borg analyser kit mk x from the bank i had left there, at the time that kit was very valuable. i left that fleet not long after and realised i had lost a borg kit years later when i remember i forgot to remove it from that guild bank. an easy 20 million credits lost at the time (this was before the new kits came in).
I also remember when my brother told me many years back on a game called Runescape, whatever that is. He mentioned some person died in some place and dropped some very valuable gear, in the hundreds of millions of coins range. Just imagine how that person must of felt losing that much great gear only for someone else to pick it up without going through the same trouble to get it.
There is a point to all this, money and items can be regained, but if you feel discouraged from trying after what has happened then it really is a lost cause, but if you work at it and don't give up, you will regain what you lost over time. As @Reyan01 mentioned:
In this we all learned something.
