Hello Friends!
I'm sorry about this post, honestly. It's kind of a rant because I've run across something that really annoys me.
Since I've turned trading back on TCDB, I've gotten a number of proposals. I was pulling cards Thursday for a while till my body physically said "Nope"
I checked the site today and one of the proposals was withdrawn. I hadn't pulled their cards yet, so I'm not too upset about that.. What I am upset about? They sent it on the 29th and withdrew it on the First.. Two days..
Now.. I have a bit of a system to ensure I'm not accepting and then finding out I don't have the cards. I'll see the proposal, I'll pull the cards to make sure I have the cards.. Then I accept the proposal. Sometimes, it takes me a bit of time to get all proposals pulled, especially if I have to look in multiple places for the cards.
I might need to update my message on my page (again) to say "Please realize I take a little time to get things done. I pull the cards before accepting to ensure I actually HAVE the cards you want before accepting"
Sorry for the rant. It's a pet peeve that I needed to write out to let go of.
Is it possible to message the person who made the proposal (sorry... I've never traded on TCDB)? If so, maybe you can shoot them a message saying you're in the process of checking your inventory. Best of luck on your future trading experiences on this site. One day I'll get my inventory uploaded.
ReplyDeleteThat stinks the proposal was withdrawn. I do that all the time myself; but only after at least 5 days. But it's also why I'm stopping trading as many of the users there are rude, idiots, or something else. Have you considered writing to them to say you'll need a few days to check? That way they have a sense that it might be a couple of days? Maybe you've already done that, but some communication -- even if it't interim in nature -- may help with the frustration? Your rant, though, was very justified.
ReplyDeleteI have a notice on my trading page, plus I message saying I'll accept the trade after I pull the cards, since I don't want to pull the cards and find out I'm unable to find one of them..
DeleteYou'll find unfortunately that many people do not read the profile page. best bet might be indeed a quick message in the transaction with that reminder, if nothinngelse to save you the time wasted from a quick withdraw
DeleteVery true.. I have most of the trades pulled now, though a couple are missing one or two cards.. I still have a lot to look through to see if I have them though
