I know for myself when I take the time to go though my coupons and make sure I have what someone is looking for and send them a PM if they do not reply I do not message them the next time they post even if I have exactly what they are looking for.

My time is valuable also.

:(

arg, two of these this week out of 4. AGREED!!

Yep, something unbelievable, started the trade a few days ago, many PMs, send the offer...never heard back, actually, I'm waiting for 4 replies at the moment! Is it so hard to say something? :shrug:

Bumping--This reminder is needed in my experience the last few days.

Bump! Some people need a reminder!

Yup :)

I've PMed several people over the last few days, and I have received no responses. Alrighty then, I guess you DON'T want those "RRRRLF" items I am offering you from your WL!! Too bad :-)

I extremely agree with you!!!

I've had a few people lately negotiate down to the last detail then never follow through with an address and when I ask for it they say they've changed their mind. This wastes everyones time. If you are negotiating with 2 people at once, that's fine, but please be upfront about it and not ignore the other trader who has set those coupons aside for you and now missed out on other trades because you went with someone else and never bothered to say anything. A simple "sorry, I traded those coupons already" is all you need

Some people have even been rude about it too! Sometimes things just don't work out, but do you have to be rude when I try to find out what happened?

I realize summer is a busy time and perhaps people can't get back to me in my general "3 day rule" but why negotiate a trade if you won't be available for a certain time frame?

I have messaged other members regarding trades and they mentioned being on vacation and they would PM me once their vacation was over and I was totally fine with that!

Makes me wonder if I am Pm'ing ghosts on the other end. Used to be newbies not responding so I figured it was because the person was new perhaps. Sorry, but that doesn't fly when you've been using this site for 2+ years and seem to be online on a reg basis.

Bumping this up, cos I'm sick of the non-responders and time-wasters. :neutral:

Please please please reply with a "no thank you" if you are not interested in the trade. We won't bite you, won't hound you and will be WAY more likely to trade with you in the future if you take a second to reply so we are not left hanging.

I'm amazed by the number of people on here who just cannot be bothered to say "no thank you". If you can't respect my time, I won't be respecting yours and will be very unlikely to deal with you in the future. End of. :neutral:
