The middle offer is a chose your own amount thing.
You can buy any gold amount you want, as long as it is more than 500. (Not sure if there is an upper limit as well)

Edit:
Maybe this could be made a bit clearer with a big: "Chose your own amount" title over the offer?
(And the text on the button seems to have no spaces? Screenshot is from Firefox on Mac)
I'm also not sure to what element of control creators have on the prices - I'm not one, so would need someone else to speak to it, but I'm sure I read somewhere that it's not fully their decision.
We can set what every price increments we desire. But insisting that they be in 500 gold / $5USD increments probably means that things would end up being more expensive than they are now.
The solution is to buy custom amounts of gold above 500. The limit is there because I'm sure SmiteWorks ends up with a transaction fee. So they probably pay something like $0.50 for every transaction, so allowing very small transactions costs them too much.
I think the real frustration is that there are a lot of extension with prices that end in 99 - which is especially annoying for stuff less than 500, ie 199, 299, 399 etc. I know my experience with that irritation caused me to price in multiples of 100.
For the OP, though, I think he did overlook you could buy any amount over 500.
I try to price mine so I end up with a set amount after SWs percentage. This does likely result in some weird numbers.

I've always hated that 99 pricing thing. It's done because marketing people many decades ago found that offering something that ends in 99 makes people think they are spending significantly less than they are. It is literally legal psychological manipulation.
