Discussion: Refund at Trade Office mistake: yes or no?

The_Sarmartian, you should check better what scam means :)

While I may agree on refunding the seller, or avoiding to buy things that are obvious mistakes, buying something put for sale on trade office, even if the seller did a mistake, is not a scam.

What if you already spend the items at a shop or a next trade, or an upgrade?
What if you're not able to refund?

depends how nicely they ask:

Hi, I made a mistake and put wrong price on item, could we reverse the trade please? -> no problem
You bought my trade which was obviously a mistake, send the items back now or ill report you as scammer. -> just ignore them and keep items.

like kotugo says

Had the same thing with granite once, didn't payback, it's only a game. your not dying when you make a mistake:)

What will you do when a block goes wrong? cry at tso? or BB?

thats how the cookie crumbles

I'm with lulu on this, I generally try to offer to swap back. I know to double check my own posts and I know how easy it is get it wrong regardless so I'll whisper and if they've gone offline I'll often mail, just seems to me the thing to do. If I post something silly and don't notice/cancel it quickly enough I'm prepared to deal with whatever I've done but would of course appreciate someone being willing to swap me back so that's how I try to play it when I catch an hugely imbalanced trade. Too, new players often really just don't know what things go for and a nudge in the right direction may make it a bit easier to come to grips with the often overwhelming world of Trading.

Basically though, while I've never asked for a Trade back, I know the "Arrrgh! What did I do?!" of the thing and it costs me nothing to have a go at relieving someone else of that particular "delightful" feeling. :rolleyes:

Paying the asking price is NOT a scam!

NOT TRUE

If a high street retailer accidentally marks an item on display at the wrong price, they have the right to refuse to sell it to you. Once you have brought this to their attention, they have the option, in law, to correct the price. If they choose not to, then you DO have the right to buy it at the price they stated.
