Vixensykerd Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I was in the trading post looking for secret lab map pieces, and I tried to put in a trade for one of the pieces that I saw (an expensive one at that >:( ), I put in my offer, and then it went back to the opening screen like normal, I went to cheack on it and it says "No offers have been made", and I also haven't got my money back :O ! I guess I just got scammed? Am I right? Also, what do I do now? Using the back button I think I know who's account it was, but I'm not sure and I don't want to get anyone into any trouble if it wasn't them - am I being too soft? Arrrghhhh! Anyway, in the mean time, I'll try and earn some of those neopoints back >:( Thanks! VixenSykerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 If they rejected your offer sometimes the pure np gets lost in a glitch. Where neither the original owner or the person with the item gets it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberri Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Oh no! What a bad glitch Vixen. Tell us if you get your NP's back! Fingers crossed that doesn't happen too often.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixensykerd Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Update: Neopets sent me a message a few hours later saying the trade had ended and it had been sucessful, but I still hadn't got the item or the neopoints. I decided to contact the seller and they said they'd received the neopoints but the item wasn't taken off them, so he sent me it as a neofriend item send! Very lucky in my opinion! Lets just hope it doesn't happen often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Wow your lucky that the other person was nice enough to just send it to you. That would have been a pain trying to prove you didn't get it and the other person still had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashbash Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 That's very lucky. I'm glad to hear that there are still some nice and honest people on neopets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegB214 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 i was trading for my last lab map piece and i cancelled the lot right as the person accepted it because i found someone who would sell it to me cheaper well i got the lab map piece still and the np's were never taken out of my account. the person never sent me a msg saying she never got the points so i guess i just got REALLY REALLY lucky :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixensykerd Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Lucky :P But quite harsh on the person who lost out on all those neopoints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justme2008 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 They probably didn't miss out on the points.. It's possible the trade got cancelled in that little time window in which the points would have been duplicated and sent anyway.. for all we know, they could have gotten the points and still had their item as well!

Kellijuana Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm glad for you that your trade worked out, it is a lucky thing to find an honest neopian sometimes. I haven't had too much trouble but I've heard a lot of stories. I'm not very experienced with trades or auctions n such so I'm often afraid someone will think I'm scamming them when I take too long, but so far no worries. The two times that stick in my head that I got lucky would be 1) When I borrowed the chakato card and just gave it back to the lender instead of putting up a trade. Thank goodness they sent me my (300k at the time) nps back!! lol and then 2) I borrowed 'adam' from a friend but thought you had to go to the about page with more than enough (instead of exact) and sent the nps back without getting the avie. Lucky for me they lent me again the next day and I did it right that time :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midookami Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I've never had trouble with trading post before and these stories frankly freak me out a little... I'm glad you've met an honest person and you've gotten your item, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
