			I am a returning player, i was checking out the vendors as to see what items I could get as upgrades. I clicked accidentally twice on the ability point upgrade which you are only able to use 1, and I cant sell the other one back to regain my renown. That is just about 50% of my renowed that I have accumulated over the course of playing. I don't think this is fair. I have to actually delete the item to get rid of it from my inventory. Why is it against policy to fix this? How are you suppose to tell if you already bought and amp or ability. It doesnt say, you already bought such and such. I am very scared to buy anything now. It took a long time to get that amount. I don't think I have even made 1k back in the past 3 days.

One-time use AMP and Ability points will, or should, have red text in their description that say something along the lines of 'This can only be used once' if you have already brought and used it.
 
I assumed that it was an item that you could get a full refund on if brought but I guess they didn't make that the case for points. Bummer I guess.
 
A guildie made an addon to prevent accidental purchases if you're worried about possibly making the same mistake in the future, as they had also had a similar frustrating situation with vendors.

There is text that tells you if it can only be used once, if you've already got the maximum amount, etc...  
 
That being said, we really should be able to sell them back for a refund, as of now they can't be sold back at all.  Have you made an ingame ticket for it?  May be a shot in the dark, but you never know unless you try.  
 
You know what, don't delete it OP if you haven't already.  Hang on to it just in case they make them account bound in the future.

There is red text on the item which tells you if you already activated a one-time usage. However you only see this if you browse the item and it doesn't prevent repeat / accidental purchases.
 
I recently lost some Elder Gems to an accidental purchase, caused by the lag in Thayd and ended up puchasing an item I thought I was only browsing.
 
It's just a very poorly designed system, it's way too easy to make accidental purchases in this game, because of the lack of purchase confirmations and because there's often input lag.
 
The problem is they can't implement global refunds because lots of items you can buy have a RNG element to them (rune slots) so they don't want people refunding to re-roll an item. To be frank, the whole system of RNG on slots from purchases is rubbish game dersign anyway and needs to go. But that's another topic. Until they see sense on this,  at bare minimum all non-RNG items bought for renown, gems, glory and prestige need to be made refundable. There's zero excuse not to, especially when some of these items can cost the equivalent of many weeks of dailies.

Submit a ticket, there's a high chance they will refund your renown back, especially since technically your not supposed to get two of them. I'm guessing since you didn't apply the point before purchasing another one it let you for some reason, which would also be a bug most likely, another reason why they would refund you. 
 
Also, there are a couple addons, that will add a purchase confirmation for you, very handy if your feeling unsure about buying things accidentally.

			If you haven't got 1k in 3 days you're doing it wrong (or you are just disgruntled)....just run vet infestation over and over and over....and over again, renown gain is insane (plus infestation only takes like 6-8min per run) especially when it is the daily plus the cash isn't too bad.

			Put a support ticket, I accidentally misclicked the ability point in the EG vendor and they refunded the EGs, fast and easy.
