Well... if people see a big, gold circle that says 'gold' when you put the pointer over it, when you can see both platinum and gold icons in storage... people have a serious problem.

Anet can't make anything if somebody sells you an armor dropped from mosters as an armor usable by characters and you accept.

You have to know the game before playing!

I haven't been scammed, I haven't scammed, I check thing beforehand, I don't want to waste more time waiting for timewasters to have fun cancelling trades or recalling them, people make mistakes its human, and we shouldn't be wrapped in cottonwool, we learn by our mistakes, let people be scammed, hopefully once it happens they won't be scammed again

I think this would be quite hard to implement correctly, with all possible protection against abuse. If not done right, i'm sure that developing a method of duping items with the use of this feature.
Something like:
having 3 people, 1 trades 2 a stack of ectos, 2 quickly trades 3 that stack, 3 logs off, 1 uses 'undo'.
or
having the person receiving the ectos quickly sell them to npc trader, then undo trade.

'dupers' that destroyed many online games could come up with things way more creative than that.

A possible prevention from abusing this undo thing could be blocking both characters from doing anything for those 15 seconds after the trade, but i still don't think its worth it.

how about another accept button next to the accept button, to accept your exception

They could just stick a confirmation screen after the initial acceptance, but modify it a bit. So after submit offer and accept had been hit, a text based screen would come up, with emphasis on the gold and platinum areas, as a very basic example:
______________________________________________
|Mr X is offering:..............|Mr Y is offering:..............|
|....................................|............ ......................|
|10 Globs of Ectoplasm......|.................................. .|
|....................................|............ .......................|
|0 PLATINUM...................|0 PLATINUM....................|
|0 GOLD..........................|50 GOLD........................|
|....................................|............ ......................|
|....................................|............. .....................|
|Are you sure you wish to make this trade? | Yes | No |
|................................................. ......................|
|................................................. ......................|
|Do you wish to report the other player?... | Yes | No |

This screen would stay up for 3 seconds before any buttons are enabled on it.

Really, reporting another person for offering 50g for 10 ecto is silly, the other person could simply say they thought it was a fair deal. And with a button like that people would mash it at random too :P
