Developer Context
The in-game purchase flow is supposed to be quick so players can buy items fast.
From the DevForum report, the display price and the real charged price can get out of sync on resale-only limiteds.
That means the UI can show old/free-looking price info while checkout still uses the real resale amount.

A: Not always. But for limited resale items, treat "0 Robux" as unsafe until you verify on the item page. - Q: How do I avoid losing Robux?
A: Do 3 checks: item page price, your current balance, then prompt text. If one looks weird, cancel. - Q: What should I do if I already got charged?
A: Take screenshots, save the item link, note exact time in ISO format (example: 2026-04-24 19:10 UTC), then report it. - Q: Is there an official "fixed" message yet?
A: Not in the provided sources as of 2026-04-24, so keep double-checking every purchase.
