dilemna...

how long should one wait for a trade partner before totally abondoning the trade? i have my LAST 3 trades for my ps3 site ALL pending... and i doubt anyone i had a trade with is even planning to complete it. one of them already has my money... anyway its been a week. how much longer should i give them?

They definitely should have atleast gone yellow by now. I would say PM a mod maybe. Have you gotten in touch with them? Are they reading your PM's?

Kinda hard to push them to ask for manual credit if they aren't even intending to complete the site, but you have to try.

Sometimes when I want to finish a site quickly, I setup 1-3 extra trades more than I need, and hope that the other ones don't go green. I'd say a week or two is definitley long enough to call the trade off, just make sure you PM the person first. I'd give the person 2-3 days to sign up, and about a week to go green, then I start bugging them. ;)

ok, one, which i sent the money to, DID receive my letters (its not in outbox anymore), but did not reply. another one, didnt read my messages, so i assume he hasnt been on the site for a while... the third is some guy w less trs than me that wants me 2 go first, so im gonna cancel that deal.

Is that one guy even yellow? I'd PM a Mod to look into the guy you paid if it's been more than a day since he read it.

if all the trades go through, do u pay for the extra 1-3 trades?

ok, which mod though? he hasnt even gone yellow on my site...

Probably TSJ, he's online a lot and really quick to respond to PMs. Any mod will do though.

thanks a bunch to gigante. hes been a great help. deleted my trades w the two unresponsive trades, and is working on checking the deal with the one i paid, but never got a referral.

how did you pay? if he isnt responding and u paid by paypal you can submit a request to have the charges reversed. but a week is not a huge amount of time, some people just dont respond to PMs for some reason

ok, now the guy i deleted his trade. AFTER THE TRADE WAS DELETED, desides to sign up for my site. he goes green today. keep in mind he was NOT yellow before i cancelled my trade. now he is bitching about his money, and i dont think hes intitled to any.

well, i would say he is. if he went green give him his cash. or negotiate a lesser amount. some people get away from trading or overwhelmed. it sucks for others but c'est la vie
