    I've recently purchased a glitched oak leaves (untextured) for a Beacon and 10 diamonds and I have only just found out today that I've been ripped off.
    I have no memory of the person who ripped me off in any way apart from the fact that they said they didn't know how pricey the untextured block was. So they gladly took my beacon and 10 dias for it.

    Please try and get back to me soon.

    It was your choice to make the trade, what do you hope can be done? You don't know the person's name and you can't be refunded, as you weren't scammed.

    Good point you have there. Maybe I'll attempt to find who I bought the item from over the next couple days. Possibly I can get a refund directly from them.

    We can't refund you or do anything about this. You could try messaging the player who you traded with, but it's not a guarantee you'll get a refund from them.

    You should have researched their value, asking players online ect. Your choice; your loss.
    Out of curiousity, who ripped you off?

    This cannot be refunded as there is no exact evidence of the items. Next time, try finding out how much it's worth before trading something you don't know the value of. Remember, you can come onto the forums and ask and I know many people will be glad to help you out.

    Even if you do have proof, they wont refund you, it was his fault for doing the trade.

    The glitched leaves are basically old blocks and people put value on them. Its unfortunate you were ripped off, but this is why it is your responsibility to check the prices. But you wanted that block and you paid a price that you deemed fair at the time, so there is not much we can do at all.

    Nothing anyone can do
    1. It was your decision to trade
    2. The player doesn't have to trade back if you find him (so good luck with finding him and getting a trade back :p)
    3. I've seen people buy them for 200 diamonds so maybe you will get lucky and find the right buyer :)
    Anyways good luck on the whole thing.

    It wasn't really the person you traded with's fault.

    I will archive this for now as the answers above sum up the action possible. If you would like to open another help thread, feel free.
