I have no idea where that information was even gathered from, but I have never even remotely had that many

Jah's and certainly didn't pay those prices. And who would I report it to?

After a trade is completed, the seller/trade owner closes it out and as part of that is able to enter both, the buyer and the price paid.
In this case, you have been listed as the buyer and both, the helmet and the shield were listed as sold to you for 3

Jah each. So 6

Jah total.
In both cases, that would've been a massive over-pay, hence my earlier comment.

If a trade gets closed with you supposedly paying xyz amount and that amount is not accurate (as you say is the case here), that should be reported to one of the moderators so we can step in and correct the pricing to avoid it misleading people in the price history here.

I somewhat feel violated that this information was gathered and posted without any knowledge whatsoever by me. I suppose, in the end, its not a big deal, but I believed that I was entering into a private trade with someone I connected with in this forum. Nothing ever indicated that such things were monitored and reported on. And I am certainly not stupid enough to have overpaid by that amount, trust me. I had exactly two

Jah's to my name when I entered the game to make the deal. Does that make what I paid clear enough? My remaining question is what possible reason that the seller would have for reporting such inaccurate information.

This is a public trading forum: trades are posted, bids are placed, deals are completed and prices marked in full transparency, for the benefit of the community. Nothing to feel violated about!

However, I was curious, and it seems you created a topic looking for advice on building a Paladin, in which the seller offered you their Dreams if you DM them, is that right? You never posted an offer for these items in a trade thread, you arranged via DM? In which case, presumably the seller created trade threads after the fact in order to record the price and exchange trust. So yes, the only question really is where the listed prices come from if they are not what you paid.
