Burned in trade
A player offered to sell me 20 charged lodestones for 40 gold. In trade he didn’t bother sending the stones. I reported him but will I ever see my gold?
No, Your gold is gone forever as well as the load stones. The trading post is there for a reason, if you choose not to use it, you are on your own and support will not help you.
You can report them (which you already have) but that is pretty much the end of it.
Take this as a lesson learned, never trade outside the trading post.

I think this about sums is up. I’m sorry that you were scammed, zerotwo, but highly recommend that you use the TP in the future!
