Any recourse for being ripped off in a trade?

Sorry that happened to you.

This is why I don't do face to face trades with people I don't know.

COD, or nothing.

People used to do this bait and switch in WoW, too.

You could try putting in a ticket.

Don't trust COD either. It's glitched for me in the past where never got the gold..

Oh, interesting...

I think it's always worked for me?

I was trying to buy a motif last night and went with face-to-face since the person was nearby. I posted the money and waited until the other party hit submit before I did; he/she deleted their item as I was hitting submit and then ran. I imagine I am screwed but wasn’t sure if there was any recourse available, even if just to prevent him/her from screwing someone else out of 75k. I do have screenshots of the conversation leading up to the theft, if that helps.

Film it, try opening a ticket. But face to face isn't intended for secure trade, COD is and this can't happen with COD

Yeh except they can just leave your cod sitting there forever if they really wanna be a ***.

Except they can't as it returns to you, I think it's 3 days, certainly not long enough to cause a major problem....

Regardless it's the only way you can't be scammed

Not necessarily. I would submit a ticket with the persons username and the time and date the transaction took place. Its entirely possible they will get a ban. The logs will exist of what transactions took place.

You have screen shots, this should be an open and shut case. Id be more surprised if Zos did not correct this and ban them.
