For fast expiring 2 days then send a - do you still want to trade email - with a specific reply by date. This has worked very well for me. Sometimes people forget...sometimes they accidentally delete (me) sometimes they thought they replied. Usually a 2nd pm is enough and if not go ahead and trade away! They will know for next time. I am still new at this but have had an excellent trading time on SC...only 1 person who did not ever reply.
just wanted to get some opinions on this these days....
I wait 2 days, then email them again and give them 2 more days. I think that if you want to trade with that person, there is no point in messaging them if you don't give them time to reply. It takes more time to look for a new person to trade with.
This is really different for some people. I have had people come back to me and say I "took too long" even though I replied less than 48 hours. I remember the one that was something like 30 hours. Come on!
It depends I guess..if its a coupon (s) that's in high demand its nice to get a response back as soon as possible..but people are busy, etc and don't always get a chance to respond right away which is understandable..I usually like a response back in at least 24 hours (especially if you see that the person is on-line, posting, etc) even if they just write back quick to acknowledge the PM and say they are super busy I will then hold their coupons until I hear back.
