Guild Wars 2

Hello guys. In Lion’s Arch one guy has started conversation with me. He has wanted 60g for GS skin and during negotiate [i have said nothing, don’t confirmed] i have received a mail with the skin. It’s illegal to save the skin for my own?

It’s not illegal, but you’d be a real jerk for saving it and not paying him back (or for not sending it back). Plus, he could report you for scamming.

Wow. It’s kind of rare to see the other side of a “scam”.

Thing is, trade is supposed to happen via the trade post. People who try and circumvent that (to save the fee, for example) and then get ripped off can report the scammer, but won’t get anything back, and no-one knows whether or not the scammer actually gets banned/suspended.

Now you got the skin, but never agreed to trade. If the chat logs say so, too, the guy sending you a skin without confirmation that you’ll pay can’t even claim you scammed him because you never said you’d pay a certain sum. Since there is no trade outside the trading post, it’s his own fault. Though, keeping the skin and not paying is morally questionable, even under these circumstances. Just saying.

I doubt you’ll get official word on this, since it would set a precedent for other scammers (not saying you’re scamming, since you technically didn’t “steal” the skin – yet ;P ). Though, to be in the clear, I’d refrain from just keeping the skin. Also because giving it back or paying would be the decent thing to do.

Play it safe. Send it back. Anything else runs the risk of being scammed or being reported for scamming.

If the skin was gifted via tp aka bought by gems you can’t return it

For being sure, i’ve started talking with him about 60 or not etc. but when he has asked me “Do you become it?” I’ve gone for a while afk, and he has sent me the mail with skin, LoL.

Check attach.

The chat shows the two of you negotiating a price. If he now reports you for scamming and support agrees, you could get banned. I suggest you either send him the skin back or the gold. Support will have no way to know if you went afk or not. What they will see is you two talking about price, him sending you the item but you not sending the gold.

You clearly negotiated a price with him. He was also trying to make it less of a risk for you by only asking for half the cost before sending the skin. So, unless you want to be labeled a complete a****** and possibly reported by him for scamming, I’d either send it back or send him the gold you agreed to send.

Yes, i reply for his poke but i don’t say yes, not after when he was talking about 30g as first mail from me :]

He asked, so I give you the skin first?
You answered, yes and I will give you the money

Offer and acceptance of offer. Trade made, gold not sent. Enjoy your ban.

It looks to me like neither of you are native English speakers so your both are a little confused. OP you did agree to the trade, it doesn’t matter if you misspoke you still agreed to it. What you need to do now is send him the skin back of send him the 60g you agrees on if you don’t do either you are scamming him, he can report you, and you will probably be perma banned. Also use the kittening trading post from now on to avoid this kind of thing.

Yes my english is not good. For now everything is clear for me. Im gonna send it back.
