Think of an exchange as a bank: You deposit 1000$, the teller puts it in his cash register, and adds 1000$ to your account balance. After that, the 1000$ is no longer yours. Next, someone else walks into the bank, and wants to withdraw money. The teller reduces 500$ from his account, takes 500$ from the cash register, and hands it to the customer.
Exchanges work the same: the funds are in your account, the amount you deposited is no longer relevant.
