Glitch at the Trading post.

Fri Mar 11, 2005 5:28 pm

I offered 300k on 3 Maraquan Paint Brushes (I can hope :D) and then I saw a message: "... accepted your offer..." and when I went to my Inventory I saw the items:
Blue Fuzzle Sofa Bed Image
Curved Ice Skating RinkImage
And those item worth 30k.
What can I do? :cry:

Firstly I'd suggest calmly contacting the person who had the trade (if you can remember their name) and asking what happened and if they knew what was going on. Other than that, you could try sending a report to TNT about it (its either a glitch or a very fancy scam). Sorry to tell you, but unless you can politely ask the original owner for a trade back and they accept you are unlikely to get your items back :( *hugs*

Report to TNT. See if the Maraquan PB trade is still up. If you only received two items then it can;t be that the person has deliberately made worthless items look like great items (i think that there was some kind of scam back ages ago like that) so you can't report the parson, so tell TNT.

Where can I report?

First, check to see if your offer for the item is still valid by going to the Trading Post and clicking on offers you have made. If your offer is still there, report the incident in a glitch report here http://www.neopets.com/s/

IF not...
The report form would be under "abuse" and can be found at http://www.neopets.com/autoform_abuse.p ... use=report

It MAY be a new 'overlay' scam where somebody found a new way to put the look of one item over another. I don't think this is the case, because why have something worth anything more than 1 NP, and why have two items?

Items may have just gotten switched around in the trade.

Are you sure those items were not from another trade you bid on? Are you sure that you did not accidentally bid on a wrong trade while intending to bid on the Maraquan PB one?

And here I thought TNT stopped trades like that. o.o I would just reckon you report the trade.

Are you sure you didnt bid on the one above or below it by mistake? Ive done that before myself , its very easy to do.

If you still have the advice in your inbox, you could confirm with TNT what the item number of the trade was actually for, that way youd know if you were bidding on the wrong item, ( just a thought)

good luck
