Sorry to bump an old thread but need to ask.
Has this been fixed?
I'm on Brisgard UK server and a few hours ago had set up a few trades with someone on my friends list. Put them in a message (he was the originator or the message) and shortly after he asked me if I removed him from my friends list because the trades were locked. He was able to take one, but there was one that he couldn't touch. Just logged on now and saw a guild member took the trade that was locked.
As well I lost 3 trades in cyber space (thus losing goods) I set them up as normal, and they just never showed up in my list of current offers.
Came here looking for information and saw this thread.
