I still don't see how this feature would hurt the game. Regardless of human error or the current buggy sale system, I can't see a valid argument for its exclusion...

Okay. Now this is just a theory. But let's say we go ahead and implement this into the game. You will go up and try to buy a certain piece of gear for 450k. Now wait a minute. You see everyone else now buying the same piece for 300k, and you want to get your many back. Is that fair to the other guy for having to put up the gear again and pay taxes because you wanted the gil back? The same can go for selling gear. A do-over for you, means more cost for others.
Also, what would happen if that guy who sold the gear for 450k ended up spending it all on some other materials. How in the hell would it look that he goes -450,000 gil? Seems awfully stupid to me. How will you get back gil that isn't in his possession anymore?

I see.
A "buyback system" is generally understood to mean NPC-only transactions. There's no way that an automated PC-to-PC buyback system would or even could be put into place.

Interim solutions are for pansies.

Yup.. I sold my hermit shoes accidentally because my mouse jumped down while i was npc'ing things. i didn't notice it right away and obviously it was my own fault (felt like a fool).
I really wish they would have a buyback feature, since no one could help me get those shoes back (GM/online assistance)
Anyway, I'm super careful now :P

sold my Weevil *1 bow by accident, when cleaning inventory, was quite painfull as i used all my csh to get it. thats why i sign under buyback with both my hands, feet, and tentacles
+1 for a buyback feature!
I have 8 crafts at 50. All I did was watch T.V. and spam standard for easy mode synths. Enjoy leveling those crafts in 1.19 and beyond everyone!

I did this in FFXI once with my Rajas Ring.. had to wait a month to get it back. Not experienced it in FFXIV but I know how ANNOYING it is when it happens.
Would definitely be a simple, useful and awesome thing to add to the game.
SIGNED!!
Buy back, can i have it? yes please

what thats not buyback thats getting a refund, buyback is when you accidentally SELL something to an npc and buy it back for the same price from the NPCOkay. Now this is just a theory. But let's say we go ahead and implement this into the game. You will go up and try to buy a certain piece of gear for 450k. Now wait a minute.
