whoops I hope you're not talking about me... I thought I had replied... going to go check..

No no, I wasn't talking about you at all!!! I wasn't talking about anyone in particular, I was just wondering if PMing on SC was like BBM on a blackberry where you can see if the recipient has read your the msg you sent them!

Question about trade etiquette...
If someone PM's you saying they have coupons you are LF and then you PM them back asking for the expiries but then after you do that someone else PM's you with a better offer of those coupons, is it considered rude if you PM the first person and tell them you no longer need the expiry dates or the coupons since you're accepting the second persons offer. (but worded different, obv)
Hope that all makes sense. I just hope I'm not offending people if/when I do this.

[FallenPixels]

Not at all, its better to tell them ASAP you are no longer interested since someone else PMed you

[Sally888]

If you've already accepted the trade yes it is rude to back out.

[Brandy Hunter]

If it's just offers, then it's fine I think

Just saw this thread for the first time!

I know that it is far too late because neither Chris nor I can even remember who the person was, but Chris did a trade last year where he sent a number of ccoupons (nothing HV or anything but over 10 coupons) to this person and they sent a couple of coupons and said they were sending 2 Pre Paid MasterCards that they no longer needed. They said they were worth over $5 between the two.

So Chris said okay and the exchange was made. When Chris got his envie, he opened it and found the 2 M/C in there, on the back were some dollar values written in sharpie pen. It added up to over $5.00 so Chris figured all was good.

Imagine his surpise the following week when he went to a store and handed over the two cards for payment. The cashier swiped the first one and it came back "balance zero", sure enough the second one was also empty.

Chris was a little peeved off but in the end, never replied to the person or anything.

Noting can be done about that now, but just wanted to share what I think, is the only trade that we have seriously been burned on!

Having said that, just got a trade request from a noobie tonight (0 posts and 0 trade rating) asking for a simple trade.. 5 coupons for 4 CP stamps. I am going to give the person the benefit of the doubt and do it. Chris was a noobie too once... you have to start somewhere. Hopefully I won't have to come back here and report the person!!!

Great thread though!

Those prepay cards expire, someone took them to court over it since they are not supposed to in most Cdn provinces but they claim they are a prizecard and not GC unless issued in a provinces that requires no charges etc by law

Also, has anyone heard from NV_Jenn? She has a good feedback score but hasn't been on SC for nearly a month now. She owes me 9 stamps and our trade was from six weeks ago.

I'd hate to think I'm out two trades, both to SC'ers with good feedback scores.

Also waiting for stamps from nv_jenn re a trade of September 19th...not answering my latest pms either....

[sweetmomma]

I am waiting on 2 stamps from nv_jenn too. I recently Pm'd her as it has been over a month. I noticed the lst login was Oct 3.

[KrazE]

NV_Jenn has an outstanding trade with gotmyblkbelt on the trader tracking list from September; it appears that she (jenn) received her side, but the other user did not.

[macw1960]

I made a trade in June which involved FPC's on both ends. She received hers and I received a trade rating. Mine apparently got lost in the mail.

Certain facts regarding this trade are different than first implied and have noticed from visitor's messages on their page that there maybe a problem but their trade rating seems fine.

I finally settled for different coupons (not FPC's but happy with coupons) to clear up this trade.

My question is do I leave a positive trade rating because I am happy with my coupons or a neutral trade rating because it took over 4 months?

[PinkLincoln]

I'm still waiting on my trade from sheetsofemptycanvas, she now has 2 negative trader ratings from myself and someone else originally sent Aug 23, Sept 16, and again the first week of October, still nothing..
