Stuck with confused cargo, unable to play

Seems there was a wee server glitch a few minutes ago, and my cargo is scrambled. I've logged out and back in, but no change.

I'd just completed a mission to deliver 39T of goods from a starport to an outpost, and had handed the stuff over via the Bulletin Board. Before departure from the starport, I'd filled the rest of the space in my L6's hold with other stuff that I knew the outpost would pay nicely for.

At the outpost, as said, I delivered the goods and got paid for my trouble, mission completed. Then I went to Commodities to sell the other stuff. Then it seems there was a transaction server failure - a little window appeared saying so.

To cut a long story short, Commodities cargo column shows the 39T of the original contract still in my hold, and nothing else. The bottom right panel on that page "CARGO SPACE 104 OUT OF 104 USED". The righthand UI cargo panel lists only the 39T of non-lethal weapons, which were the subject of the mission, which I had completed when I handed those 39T over, and the bottom line of the RH UI cargo panel says "CAPACITY 39/ 104". (Should really say "capacity used", but that's another story!)

Commodities will not let me sell the 39T, as they are presumably marked as being part of the mission and not otherwise sellable. And Commodities does not show the phantom 65T which it thinks is filling the my hold, so I can't sell that either.

So, now I'm stuck with an L6 and a "full" hold, and can't even go and play boom-boom in my Cobra, cos I can't park the L6 off with anything in the hold. [2 mins later] That just made things worse. Now RH UI Cargo says my hold is empty, and Commodities says it's full with 104T of.. what? I don't know. And Commoidties still shows the 39T that I've just jettisoned.

I've logged out/in again, about 20 mins after this all started, and no real change. RH UI Cargo panel seems to offer the option to jettison the cargo, which I'm gping to try now for want of anything else to do.

Any ideas?

Edit: I see I'm not the only one!

I was hit with something similar also just a few minutes ago, but my cargo duplicated as I sold it so I was selling a never ending cargo of rares! lol. It seems to have cleared up and fortunately the bug allowed me the means to pay off the 1.1 million fine that I got when I left the station with cargo I thought I sold...
 
yes i think most have this problem and it is just a server connection problem. As it is New Years day, and this is not a subscription game, I doubt there will be anythign but a skeelton crew on site to fix it. Get an early night, do sommat else tonight and come back tomorrow when hopefully some FD peeps will be in and able to look at it. Thats what I'm doing anyway, yes it is frustrating, but it will get sorted tomorrow hopefully.
 
Same with me Anton. I lost one hold full of superconductors. Then bought 104 tons of prog cells which then disappeared just by looking at the different panels. Logged out and in and itsnow is back to 104 tons of Superconductors in hold but I dont have anything to sell in the commodities screen.
 
Should try exploration. Have to scan three times or more and wait 3 - 5 mins between scans before anything registers. Seems to be a server wide issue effecting all types of game play.
 
Yeah lost 45K AND the new shield didn't get fitted. And I keep on getting transaction errors and getting kicked out
