If it is, there's an easy way to avoid this when making very large transactions for multiple items: do several trades at once and smurf the transaction (ie divide it into several micro transactions). That way the chance of a failure eating 10K and making you slit your wrists is ridiculously low.

Also, I think when making transactions of say, 5K or more, using a GM as a middle man would be an acceptable short term solution, provided the GM was willing. Both players could trade their money/items to the GM, and the GM could trade everything back to the opposite players, so that if a mistake happens, the GM can always fix it and verify that the transaction occurred.

I have a question - is there a way to actually recover lost plat (due to game logs verifying that a certain amount of platinum was deleted for no reason)? Thanks.
