Obey Blood wanted me to go to the auction house and buy him an animal reserve black nose for 100 yocash. I did and just as I came back to give it to him, he kicked me out....and took me off his friend list....so I now have a nose that I don't want...and lost my 100 yocash. How can I get the cash back....or sell the nose ? I am upset by this...

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I'm not sure if anything can be done, but maybe you could report it to BVG......but again, I'm not sure what if anything they could do about it.

Sorry this happened to you.

The best you can do right now is file a support ticket to BVG and let them know what happened. I can guarantee a quick response, so they'll be able to assist you.

Sorry this happened to you....

But I'll say it again... The #1 rule of selling Yocash is never, EVER, EVERRRRRRR buy something from the AH for someone using your yocash unless you have direct access to their throat. PERIOD.

I wish you luck but honestly, BVG most likely won't reverse the trade.

I hope BVG addresses this and looks into logs and bans the person who kicked you after purchasing his/hers item. Also redeeming you in the process if this is legit. I hope they do redeem you cos 100 Yocash is a lot to lose. Make sure you never buy stuff for Yocash in AH for anyone else ever again

Fingers crossed...

The thing is, the nose was obviously his item. So he made you buy it from AH, got the yc and ran. Sorry that happened to you. It must be so frustrating. Sadly, (I think) nothing can be done as technically it was a legit purchase. But still that was an intentional scam so may be, if you send a ticket to BVG they might look in to it.

was trying to figure out how the 'scam' helped him... now i get it, oops. Too early in the morning here i guess lol. I guess if BVG wont help, just try and resell it.. you wont get all your money back, but its better than nothing. Good luck

This has been a known scam for a long time now. Can never trust to buy from the AH paying with YC, chances are the person wants YC and tricks you to buy their item.

Pretty much as the AH works the sellers are anonymous, so the way scamming individuals work they figured out quickly how to use this to their advantage. I am not sure the pros of anonymous selling in the AH I am sure there are plenty, but the scamming issue is definitely one con.

Like it has been said never buy any yocash item for anyone from the AH.
