The Shard Was Sold. The $PIXEL Still Wasn’t Mine.
I can sell a Guild Shard, approve the wallet action, watch the shard leave, and still end up with no $PIXEL on my side.
That is the whole bruise here. Not price movement. Not whether I chose the right exit. The shard is already gone, but the proceeds are still missing. The trade already took the asset from me, and now I am stuck dealing with what should have been the finished part.
Pixels makes that failure path clear by already having a Sell Issues route for sellers who did not receive the PIXEL after selling. That matters because it means the bad path is not some vague fear I invented after the fact. It is built closely enough into the flow that there is already a separate way back in if the shard leaves and the payout does not land.
And that recovery path is exact. It asks for the transaction hash and the same minimum price limit I used when I sold. Those two details are the whole article for me. If the proceeds are missing, I do not just wait and assume the sale will sort itself out. I have to come back with the proof from the first attempt so Pixels can attempt the proceeds again and send them to my mailbox. So the problem is no longer whether I sold. The problem is that I sold, the shard left, and I still have to reopen the case to get paid.
That changes what the hash is. It is not just a record of the trade anymore. It becomes the thing I may need to recover the payout after the asset is already gone. The minimum price limit changes too. Before the click, it looks like a small protection setting. After a failed payout, it becomes another detail I have to bring back so the same sale can be replayed cleanly enough for the mailbox to finally get the $PIXEL.
The hardest part of this flow is the order. Pixels can finish the shard removal before the payout is actually secure for me. I do not get to keep the asset while the system finishes the other side. I lose the shard first. Then, if the proceeds do not show up, the next step is mine. I have to pull together the hash and the minimum limit and feed the sale back into the recovery path so Pixels can try the payout again. That is the exact point where a market action turns into proof work.
What keeps this sharp is how narrow the damage is. I am not talking about a broad support complaint or a generic marketplace risk. It is one clean failure. I sold the shard. The shard left. The PIXEL did not arrive. Pixels already has a recovery route for that exact case. And that route asks me to prove the original sale with the same details I used the first time. Nothing else needs to be added because that sequence already says enough. The asset exit can complete while the payment side still falls back onto me.
That is why this stuck with me. A Guild Shard sale can look complete from the outside while I am still unpaid on the inside of the flow. Once that happens, I am no longer just someone who sold an asset. I am the person reopening a finished sale with the hash and the minimum price because the shard already left and the PIXEL still has not arrived. The sale already took what was mine. The recovery step is what gets me what should have come with it.
