That's working as intended. Until the trade goes through, you do in fact still have 38 candy, so that's what the currency bar is going to show. Inside the trade window, your inventory specifically shows the items you can add to the trade. (You'll notice that non-currency items that you've put into the trade or have equipped to your avatar don't show up in the list there either.)

Truth be told, we did try doing it differently in the past, taking it out of your inventory/currency everywhere, but it added a ton of load to the database -- changing it to where the items/currency didn't leave your inventory until the trade completed made the avatar editor load a LOT faster.
