Just my luck...

I got a random event saying that I found a Strawberry Juice Carton on the floor. I went on the shop wiz to see how much it was worth. Turns out people are selling it for 75k and higher. But I wanted to sell mine cheapest on the wiz so I kept searching. Then, I stumbled accross a shop that was selling one for 25k! I figured I could buy it and make more neopoints selling two, so I saved the username and went to get the neopoints out of the bank. I returned to the shop and bought the juice carton. But when i went to my inventory, I only had one juice carton...the one I had found on the floor! Not to mention my 25k was gone too! That's 25k down the drain because of a worthless scam! 
Or at least I figure it was a scam, because I bought an omelette from someone elses shop and it was in my inventory. This is just great!

did the pop-up confirmation box say you are buying a Strawberry Juice Carton? if not, then you probably got scammed.

Do you still have their name? You could check the shop and see if they have anything weird looking there. The only way I know of that they could scam you would be you bought a different item that they made look like the carton. So you would then have another item in your inventory.
If not, I assume it was a glitch. But someone else may have another idea. *shrugs*
Edit: Whoops, they beat me.
Gotta learn to type faster.

I still have the username. Her shop looks normal, I hope it's just a glitch. :/

just report the shop but in such cases, it may be better to use the auto-report form instead and most importantly, don't be too hasty when buying stuff next time.
