Chat is kind of alienating. A few months ago, I was on LBB to distract me while waiting for my mother to get out of surgery. I accepted two $20 pieces of jewellery for a $24 'bindy' bracelet, and didn't think anything of it. A bit later I noticed I was being paged in chat, and was told the trade had been a glitch and that I should trade the items back. Only, I didn't have them – I'd traded them as part of a multi on a bag. And since my bag was near closing, I didn't have a lot of items to trade back easily, just stuff I'd already traded way down for.
The girl was understanding but her friends weren't. They told me that I knew all along that the trade was a mistake and that I purposely traded the items away quickly so that I wouldn't get caught. They demanded to know the name of the person who traded me the bag so that they could check with her to see if I were lying or not, and see if she'd undo the trade with me so that I could 'fix' the mistake. They discussed amongst themselves whether anyone remembered if this person had that bag earlier in the day. They told stories about mistaken trades they'd received and how they were good enough to give the items back. About how they always checked in chat any time they thought a trade might be uneven, but how there were bad people on the site who just wanted to scam and take advantage of others. Like me, apparently.
The next day the person who experienced the glitch complained to LBB and they replaced the item.
I'm sorry that happened to you, in chat it seems you are guilty until proven innocent in those cases because of shady people in the past. I wish chat was more closely monitored a lot of things like that could be avoided if LBB paid more attention to it.

I have no problem making offers (yes, it is tedious, but I don't mind really), but people used to accept offers, all the time, and the main point of the bag was the fun trading! Now, the only offers you receive are the free bonus items for your larger items, and no one accepts anything. They've really screwed up a good thing

You have way more patience than I do
