Is this OK ? - Guild Wars Forums

I was just scammed in War Camp. Buy another seller, I was selling a green item with a current offer of 20k, so FP sends me a tell asking who has the current offer. So now my buyer retracts his bid and says he got it cheaper. FP went and undercut my sale, hyjacked my sale and put me through the roof.
What is wrong with these people ? Cant they just find their own buyers rather than having to piss other people off ?
Am i missing something here, is this acceptable ?

its acceptable if you gave out the info. thats why you should keep the name of the buyers to yourself.

that's how the market works.

sellers will look for the highest offers, and buyers will look for the cheapest deals. it's the same as you advertising the potential buyer's current offer because you were looking for someone to bid higher.

put it this way. you were considering his offer of 20k. if someone outbid him, he would have been upset because someone took his potential purchase. why can't those people get their own sellers?

the way i see it, you were looking for someone to bid more since you advertised it. meanwhile, he was looking for someone selling for less. it's only fair. stop whining and move on.
