If you have a screenshot of the transaction, you can put in a Support Ticket. This will not get your gold back, but will put a mark on the seller's account.
Other than that, there is nothing you can do. You have learned the reason for use of ectos and zaishen keys in high end trades. You cannot depend on other players being trustworthy. Next time, go buy ectos or z-keys with your gold before shopping for a high end item.

I do hope you took screenies of the whole conversation and the trade window. Open a support ticket and send those.

Apart from that you have my sympathy.
Most people on GW are very nice and would not behave in such a way. It is possible this person gave in to temptation and if you pm when he is online he might return your gold. It HAS happened before - I wouldn't hold your breath though.

In general in the game, always assume someone is trying to rip you off. It's sad that it's that way, but unfortunately with a bunch of kids playing this game whose online wealth is pretty much all they have in life; it's the way it is.

The whole point of using ectos is so both of you cant get ripped off, so learn about this and dont do it again.

I'm sorry for your loss, but take comfort in knowing that:
a.) so many other people have had this similar experience [even in trusted trades],
b.) you've learned a valuable lesson [us humans cannot be trusted.. ever!], and
c.) they'd do it again.. and if they could, rip your arms off and do your wife right in front of you. [/endsarcasm]!

1. I was not aware someone could have such horrible grammar.
2. There is nothing you could do, not sure how you fell for that in the first place.
3. What can you do now? Not lose your money stupidly again.

why oh why you would hand someone 85k is beyond me.
would you trust someone youve never met IRL to hold onto your cash while you go fetch the rest? live and learn.

oh come on you guys, so he's at fault for believing in trust and honesty.
However unless you have screen shots of some sort of conversation after the fact of this guy admitting to it, I dont see how support can assume you didnt complete the trade and just took a SS before the second trade??
Im just saying its your word against his without visual proof.

Its sad, but the only thing that keeps most people from being dishonest is fear of getting caught. They feeling of anonymity over the internet makes it worse.
When I was in the military, we had a saying ..... "You can trust your buddy with your life, but never your money or your wife."

That's why ectos are selling high!!! Anyone need any ectos? Only 10K each during the holiday sales.
On a serious note.....NEVER trust anyone w/ anything you cannot afford to lose. Even if it's a online person you think you are friend with and knew online for 100 years!!!! Unless you know where that person lives and he/she lives nearby, don't loan/give anything you cannot afford to lose. BTW, if it's a she and she's hot, let me know.

Always make ss's of you talking with the trader and ss of the trade window. I learned in another game to always do that )

Yes, you are. It's written: I am an idiot.

Now, about your thread. I had the same problem, i wanted to trade a lot of stacks of CCShards for an armbrace; what we did is:
-I trade the first part of stacks for her obsidian armor.
-I trade the second part for the armbrace.
-Now I give her the armor.
Do it always like this, having him to trade his Expensive armor.

Its also a good reason for the present currency limitations to be increased.
I doubt they ever intended ectos or anything else to be bartered so allowing more cash would avoid dependence on barter and cut down on scamming.
Hope they avoid this happening in gw2 possibly by more coinage types zaishen coinage comes in 3 types copper Silver and Gold why not game coinage.
They could even keep platinum for 4 types of coins which should cover any eventuality in trading.
