I pressed Purchase on a drop and nothing happened

Buying straight from a drop item's page is not available on this site yet — the button is there ahead of the checkout behind it, so pressing it does nothing. Nothing was charged and nothing was reserved.

Until it is finished, a drop that opens for sale will say where and how to buy it in its announcement. Watch Notices on creta.world rather than waiting on the button.

Items resold by their owners are unaffected — those are on the Market, and bidding there works normally.
