Just lost another 25000pp to this bug..

Not much detail to give:

Walked up to guy to make the trade, he opened a trade. Seemed like some lag, his item never showed up.. I put the money in, then it said he wanted to trade again. I tried to hit cancel and it wouldn't cancel, then he ran out of range and the trade window vanished, and all my money with it :(

Please explain how you lost the 25,000 pp.

Thanks,

Haynar

I lost a whopping 50pp to this bug. Here's how!

I decide I'm going to sell a savant's cap at Kelethin bank.

Wessubba decides to buy it.

I load the item on my cursor and click on Wessubba several times, just as a violent lagstorm washes over the Greater Faydark zone.

I receive a busy message several times.

Wessubba is apparently attempting the same with his plat.

I get a trade message with Wessubba's 50 plat, which quickly disappears, due to Wessubba, I assume, cancelling the trade.

Wessubba relates to me that he did not receive the plat back upon cancelling the trade.

The lagstorm passes, and feeling mercy, I give Wessubba the savant's cap.

Wessubba /petitions and has not yet received a response after several days.

Unable to bear the senseless loss of the tragedy, I fling Judgement from Kelethin unceremoniously. A brief funeral is presided over by a pixie trickster.
The CR is uneventful.

Jesus appears with minimal fanfare in my office and slaps me on the back for my good deed, with a warm chuckle. In the process, an ingrown hair just below my chin is spontaneously healed.

After two weeks of waiting for a reimbursement, and finally being at a level where 50pp is a much smaller chunk of change, I repaid the 50pp Judgement I owed him for the cap. I would like to point out that Judgement is on my list of wonderful people of p99 because of how gracious he was to a poor newb.

This happened to me 4 months ago or around there.
I opened trade with this person with 1kpp and I don't remember what I was buying but we both clicked accept at the same time and his item disappeared and my cash did too.

Cant prove any of it and I barely remember it, so I am not asking for any reimbursement or anything.

Just adding what I've experienced.

Don't think there's much can be done about it (especially at the moment) i've lost money to it before, and as a result i only ever open trade with someone when i'm buying someting with 1cp :p they put the item in, I put the right money in and seems to be alright for me.

This is quite a nice touch on classic as back then if you missed clicking on someone with your money you'd end up dropping it (as with items, no confirm box iirc) so i have to be extra careful :p

LoL this event suddenly surfaced in my memory recently and I sort of remember what happened now. Unfortunately I still cannot remember who this was.

I did open the trade but not with plat, with a Runed Cowl from lower guk.(I had been camping and selling them all week). We met up in EC tunnel at Shady. I click trade and he clicked trade, and lag commenses. For about 5 seconds the trade window just sat at a standstill both both of us already having accepted the trade.. we swapped a bit of dialogue back and forth regarding the confusion. After about 10 seconds or so I decided to back away from him (closing the trade). He did indeed get the Runed Cowl, but the plat disappeared. I sent a tell to a gm who was in game at the time, and he directed me to the forum. Since I am lazy and it wasn't a big issue at the time and 1kp had little to no value to me, I didn't make a post.

Not sure if that sort of describes the same issues other people have had.

I am still in no way asking for a reimbursement, thanks.

Bumping because this just happened to me. Didn't seem particularly laggy at the time - just clicked my whopping 75pp onto the Plat portion of the trade window, and BAM - trade window instantly disappears and it reports that "Malrubius cancelled the trade". 75pp was gone.

I will use Omni's 1cp trick from now on, but it's still a bug that could potentially cause someone a HUGE amount of pain.

I tried to trade with someone but misclicked and traded with someone else. Then I hit cancel soon after I put the 100 plat in the window. I then re-traded the 100 plat with the person I needed to but for some reason needed to cancel again (I'm not sure why, if you ask Gnada about the situation he might remember). After that when we tried re-trading I didn't have my 100 plat.

:(:(:(:(

Same thing happened to me with 1kpp that I was trading, I petitioned about it and was told "we are currently unaware of any bugs relating to this issue" ..
