Just made a trade. Won't mention the counter party, although he commented on the trade accusing me of being a scammer, so you can search for it there. He wanted to trade Cham + pgems for a Lo, I offered a Lo straight up.
We just traded a few minutes ago in a game I made. Lo for Cham in the trade window, easy, nothing odd going on. Said thx, put the Cham in my stash and exited the game. When I got back to the main diablo screen, I noticed I was disconnected from the EU servers and it wouldn't let me connect. I exited Diablo to restart it. Saw he put WTF in the chat window.
Asked him if something went wrong, and mentioned I got disconnected. He said don't play dumb, accused me of being a scammer, and escalated from there, while I tried to tell him I hadn't done anything, and I don't have some super secret hack that lets me take back an item after it's traded, and I have 200+ trades here. Asked him to double check his stash to make sure he didn't put it somewhere weird, but he just kept accusing me of being a scammer.
I might have just offered him a free Lo if he was insistent about it, but not jumping to conclusions so fast and just accusing me and calling me a scammer and not listening. But the whole thing was weird, and it was a bit insulting that he just insisted I was a scammer.
Anyway, that's what happened from my end. Welcome him to tell his side here if he wants.

Can be used to make Runewords:
Looks like the rune has been correctly traded, as the other party has edited his post to admit so in the trade thread.
With the transaction mechanism, it is unlikely that a trade through the trade window is capable of getting things done "half way", so to speak. The transaction either goes through or it doesn't, there's no such a thing as one party getting an item while the other missing a payment.

You'd be surprised by how many people play this game while under the influence.
I've had a few instances where I didn't notice I ran out of keys and thought I didn't get a rune from a trade only to find it in the Key spot--given, I check thoroughly before flipping out, but honestly, after all the drop scams and scar tissue I've got from pre-LOD, I usually just pass off a bad trade as whatever.
@varangium A Cham is more valuable than a Lo right now. He gave you a higher rune plus pgems for a lower rune. He probably wanted to get, not to give pgems for his Cham, but he somehow mixed it all up. When he realized that he made a mistake (a bad trade), he accused you of "scamming". But what you really did is "exploiting" a great trade offer. That is morally questionable but not scamming. The Cham-guy knows that of course and is just venting his anger. Just let it go.
at least he apologized and admit he was a bit drunk
not much trades here but seems quite similar to me on SCNL?

Don't drink and trade 
The person in question has apologized and admitted the mistake. Such things happen. I also misplaced items that way and was panicking

Hey, sorry you went through all of that. That’s tough. IMO you did nothing wrong. Zero. The trade concluded, you got their offer, so logical to assume they got yours. The trade window closed and you exited. That’s all by the book. That you couldn’t then log back on could be a D2 server issue or ISP or Windows or.. pick one. Not your fault. But at any rate, the deal was done. Nothing dodgy in the lead up, terms were clear, nothing scammy, both parties agreed to trade HR for another HR. The deal went through as planned.varangium wrote: 9 hours agoJust made a trade.

Nothing you could have done differently.
For the other guy, if we take them at their word, and if they genuinely didn’t get their rune, which I think would be unheard of if the transaction in the trade window completed - this would seem to be a new bug in D2R. Again, wouldn’t be your fault. It could just as well have happened to you. Nothing you could have done differently.
On the valuation of the runes, I think a Lo for Cham deal whether straight up trade or with some adds by either party isn’t inherently unbalanced. It’s one HR for another.. all of which trade within a range, and the situation described falls within that. It’s not a Jah for Ort situation so I don’t think there’s any issue there either.
Concluding thought. None of the above was your fault. That you considered offering a further Lo to compensate them for the apparent glitch, I think is commendable.
Stay strong.
I provide my bnet details after I have accepted your offer/ you accept mine.
Flexible but mostly trade is UTC+1 evenings. Note timezone differences: several hours ahead of US / behind Asia. Prompt but don't expect instant. This ain't Traderie.
