i have a question when you have exchanged your addresses and stamped and sealed ur envie and u get a message from the person saying that sorry i have to pass but they agreed to the trade before
WHAT SHOULD I DO
IVE HAD 5 TRADE WHERE PEOPLE SENT ME THE ADDRESSES AND CONFIRMED THE TRADE BUT THEN SAY SORRY I HAVE TO PASS
THATS ALOT OF STAMPS TO WASTE AND ENVALOPES
WHAT SHOULD I DO
That's really annoying! To me, when addresses are exchanged, that means a trade is final. But, at least you don't have to waste the stamps - you should be able to peel them off and reuse them, though you might need a bit of glue to keep them stuck. I do agree that someone simply changing their mind at such a late stage is very rude, though.
yes but when i try to take them off they rip from me and my envalopes are wasted too and my parents yell at me that she wastes so much stuff
and some people dont even reply to the message its very upsetting
u should at least say no thanks
you could still re-use the envie just use "white out" over the addy and you can use the envie again as long as you carefully open it. I sometimes open the end of the envie so I can re-use it....Quote:

If they lost the coupons, or had some sort of personal issue where they couldn't mail it, of course I would want them to let me know the trade is off and I would understand. I'm not going to complain over a 1 or 2 cent envelope because someone's grandma died and mailing out an envelope is the last thing on their mind (though in a case like that, I would mail it anyways, of course). But if someone is unsure about the trade, then I think they should hold off on telling their address until they are certain they want to go through with it.Quote:

but some excuses are excuses you can tell are not true
and i dont do that i buy a book of stamps and stick it on all the envalopes and then just mail them
sometimes u mail the person and say that i have this coupon if u want and they will say
OH WOW
THX
HERES MY ADDY
and ull be like ok so its a trade then but then they will say no
no don't get me wrong I totaly agree with both of you and yes sometimes you can tell they are making an excuse and yes they should hold off on giving their addy if they are not sure they want to trade...Quote:
