Postage Fee Scammed Me

The_Conquerer · October 2015

so earlier today i sent my friend about 350 voidstone ore for 6M as a joke so he could see how much i had and later on i realized i was 300k short of what i had. No where from when i sent the mail did it say it would charge me 300k to send otherwise i would not have sent it. yes stupid on my part but then postage fee's shouldnt even exist in this game like where is that gold going?

i even tried to see if i could get my momey back from having one of my friends return a 20k cod i sent him just to see if it would refund the postage fee and it didn't.

300k was like all money so im hoping there is a way to get it back but if not then oh well.

Lol, the joke's on you. I wouldn't even dream of touching or handling such large sums, much less as a joke...

Really? Because when I send something COD it tells me right in the mail window what my postage fee is going to be. Much like this:

It's a gold sink. There are very few of them in the game. Without gold sinks in an MMO uncontrollable inflation is the result, and it ends up that only long-term players can ever afford to buy anything from other players, and anyone who is relatively new can't afford to buy anything.

I thought you got your postage returned if they didn't accept the items. Wasn't it that way at launch?

Since we don't use "Septims" as coinage in this era, many coins will choose to escape during delivery depending on if they like where they are going or not.

Sheogorath's funny money mailing magic.

You cant get your money back. Now you know there is a postage charge for every mail you send and with COD the amount depends on the charge. Be more careful next time and read what you are looking at before you press "send".
