How long should a user wait before leaving neutral feedback? When is it appropriate to leave neutral feedback?

Most SC'ers wait a month to see if an envelope will finally arrive. Also, keep in contact with the other trader to keep the lines open. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much!

Anyone know the whereabouts of the following members?

NikyK - She has 2 trades that I have not been able to clear from the trader tracking list that date back from July. I sent her a PM requesting an update back on October 26th, but she has not posted since early September. I cannot see her last login date as she has that feature turned off.

gotmyblkbelt - Trade from September remains in limbo as feedback has not been left for a trade with nv_jenn.

Cezade - Trade with DianneS is without feedback; I sent a PM on Jan 3rd which was also read by the user on the same day with no response and no feedback left.

If any of those users (in blue) are reading, please provide an update. Otherwise, I will hand it on over to Sally to see what I should do with the trades sitting on the tracker list.

In regards to NikyK I am still waiting on feedback for myself from them dating back to August.
Their last post last time I checked was in October if I`m not mistaken?
I do not believe they are active on SC.

My trade with Cezade went very smoothly other than the lack of feedback from her side. I find that 99% of the people I trade with do leave feedback. I'm not bothered that Cezade has not, however I do realize other members may want to take this into consideration when entering into a transaction with a new trader.

I have no choice but to give t.sanwald a negative for a large trade that I never received. I messaged her numerous times and there has been no contact. If this trader does send me her end of the trade, I will ask that the negative be removed.

I am also owed my end of a trade from t.sanwald. She was to send me stamps for the coupons i sent her. This was back in September. I have sent her msgs, left pm's and visitor no reply. And she has been on. I tried not to send her a negative and wait till after the holidays, but it seems I have no choice but to send her one!

This is exactly why I asked here as many traders would like to have feedback left for them when they trade.

She read and ignored my PM to her regarding the feedback, and she has been on the boards posting numerous times since, which includes today, without so much as a peep about it.

On another note, and maybe its been posted previous but there are way too many pages for me to check back, has anyone heard from TennilleS? She hasnt been on since Dec. 13 and I have a train that was send her way on Dec 9 and I have had no updates?

i think she went missing on a train i was on as well

She hasn't responded to me. I will contact her again.

I rec'd a rating from her yesterday (assuming it's the traditional train she's the next rider on, but cant be 100% sure as she didn't leave it in details or post in the thread). Perhaps she's just been away/sick or something & needs to catch up?)

Yes, I think we all expect that the people we trade with will provide feedback. The courtesy of a response to your PM is a very reasonable expectation. Being ignored is just plain irritating.

I did a trade right before the holidays for 4 - fpc for kelloggs cereal good only on Jan 3. I received the trade on Jan 6th. I am not one to complain, however I couldn't use it obviously. I am thinking of just not leaving a rating, since it isn't the persons fault, it is CP. I will not leave positive bc I ended up not receiving anything I could use and/or all expired. What do you guys think?

I was in same boat getting getting alot of dec 31st shipped on 13 dec showed up yesterday jan 9, i had other coupons in trade for 2012 i can still use my lost maybe 70% of trade. Stamping mark showed dec 13, so i left positive result.

If the deal was done on good faith and good shipping, and on date said, give positive, if shipped later but with enough time to receive positive or neutral, if shipped like dec 26/27 negative as no way you where getting... look at envelope and see when shipped.

That's pretty frustrating but I wouldn't leave any feedback at all. Personally, I do ask for coupons that expire in a short period of time but when picking them out, I consider postage time and time to use it at the store. The holidays were horrible for receiving mail and some of the coupons I got from others were expired but the trader made an effort to get it here on time. Not much to do about it but learn from it I guess.

I think it sucks to be on the receiving end of that situation but if the trader mailed as soon as you finalized the trade.. I would still leave a positive if they have a low trade rating (because they NEED those ratings). Trading around the holidays or with a short expiry date is a chance both parties take in good faith.

By the way, I look at postmarks too but I remember reading 1 or 2 posts on here where it was mentioned that postmarks weren't always reliable

In regards to leaving feedback... I had one person on here who was new and did ask me how to leave feedback as she couldn't figure it out. I explained it to her, but she still wan't able to figure it out (that is besides the point though). Sometimes it really is a matter of someone not knowing how to leave feedback and they could be getting confused thinking that sending a PM is leaving feedback. Some people just don't get it no matter how you try to explain it to them. Hope that insight helps some of you when it comes to that.

Of course, then there is those who just won't return PM's and there's nothing to do but shake your head and leave a mental sticky note in the SC part of your brain

I too find it hard to leave feedback, unless i am doing it wrong,

1) Find name of trade in envelope
2) Click on persons name from PM so i goto there about me page
3) Click on feedback score
4) Click on view complete feedback
5) Submit feedback.....

Although i do leave feedback for all ( newbie here ) I would find this process a pain in the butt in 5-6 per day.......... or is there an easier way
