Hello.

Anyone else experienced that when you bought a car from Trade, your money is withdrawn but you don't get a car?

Well.. that just happened to me, is there a solution to fix this somehow?

I just started this game and lost about $500,000 on this :(

This has happened on countless occasions, you'd be best to buy new cars at the showrooms mate :rolleyes:

Well to be honest I think it's disgusting service. If I could get my money back for this game now I would. Something as simple as exchanging a car for cash, I don't know how they could develop this in such a way that the code doesn't wrap the exchange up into a single transaction, protecting both the seller and buyer.

I work on MMORPG games myself and the first thing you do with any trade transaction code is make sure that there is no possibility of one side completing without the other, it's open to both abuse and server / network issues. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a 'glitch' where you can actually make money by cancelling the transaction just after the purchaser has agreed to buy. Seems a bit odd I lost out on the cheapest one in the auction, almost as if it were there to tempt someone to it.
