This won't happen again if:

1. You should always deposit MORE $ than you will need when you sell them to buy bitcoins. I like to deposit 10% more than I think I need. This helps to pay for shipping too.
2. Use sellers that are hedged, so prices are adjusted as bitcoin prices fluctuate. $20 is about $20 when you use sellers that are hedged.
3. Stop wasting people's time and space on this forum with beggar posts like these, when you could have spent time educating yourself to prevent this problem form happening in the first place.
4. Remember, if you have leftover btcoins, just sell them back to get dollars (or whatever your local currency is). No money lost there.
5. Do your cash deposit to buy bitcoins as fast as possible. This reduces the change in prices.

There really needs to be a rule to prevent these posts, or at least restrict them to a subforum.
