It is not clear what you mean by putting "the sale price above the asking price": you may need to repost your question with additional detail.
As a general matter, you only had to pay the seller the agreed-upon sale price: they can't get more than that from you. And conversely, you must pay the agreed-upon sale price--you can't get a partial refund or return of "kickback" of any of that money.
