So...:)))), I feel bad, but someone made a huge mistake in the dil exchange: I bought Zen for 25 dil each.
So...30,500 zen later...how do I spend it?
2 main toons science-tack
35 zen store ships T5-6
No lobi items, 22 lobi
13 farm toons
7 full tech upgrades
25000 refined dil
Who ever made this transaction mistake on Xbox, been there lost 2k zen myself. Players do this when not tired, it’s easy to make this mistake. Sorry and thanks too whoever

The console(s) exchange rate &/or process must be very different.
It is a common practice for people to post Dilithium for 25/1 to shuffle it around the account to where its needed. Post Dilithium for 25/1, switch characters, cancel offer and claim DL. Heard there was talk about making a way to transfer Dilithium around without using the Exchange, so even the Devs are aware of this practice.

I just tried to sell 1 zen for 25 dil, but it sold for 488
Yup. It's been that way for a good few years.
Your mention scares the "dilithium" out of me that Cryptic will muddle around with this making it where players can no longer transfer dilithium between our characters or make it costly to do so.
They already know about it. There was talk on one of the livestreams, I think it was before the Pandemic, that they were looking into ways to add a Dilithium Transfer system to make it easier for players to shuffle DL around the account. I could try asking Kael if the Devs still have that Account Bank Dilithium idea still on the board, but as we all know, priorities can sometimes shift around, pushing things to the back burner.
With the Exchange flirting with close to 500/1, 25/1 is safer if you don't want to accidentially buy Zen. Also... the Currency Pool is viable... if you're only transferring between two characters. More than that, and it will post whats in the pool before any on another character.

I'd figure, well nowadays hope, at least a couple at Cryptic knew/know about it. I say eliminate the whole back-door Dilithium Exchange method out of the transferring process. Place another input-tab below the Account Shared Energy Credits slot & make it for the account's dilithium. That way it's at least still behind a marginal paywall (Account Shared Slot(s)) & it's, subjectively, easier to use for the account since less clicking involved.
