Am I Doing Something Wrong?

[IsaacandAmanda]

So about a month ago we recieved a TA for our Toontown Post Office pin in trade for a WDI Sorcerer Hat With Bag Al as the New Year Baby. We didnt reply because we couldnt find the pin, but found it last week and replied to the request. We apologized for the late reply and she said it was all right and said she would be interested in trading and also asked if we were new traders because she didnt find any references under our email address. We replied that we were new traders and have had no luck in making a PinPics trade yet andthat we would love to trade. After we sent that email reply, weve yet to hear a response. For the record when we replied the first time, she replied right back within the same day.

Are we doing something wrong? Are people judgemental to new traders and back down from a trade? We told her we know how online trades work in a follow up email. And the other day we asked if she would let us know if were still trading with her. ZShould we be patient and wait? Or move on to the nezt request? Or what?

Did you check to see if that person has any references? It doesn't sound like you are doing anything wrong and if they have been trading for a while they will just ask you to send your pin first. In my opinion I think you should email the person back and give them like two days to respond. If they don't respond then move on to the next request.

The traders seems pretty reliable. Her last trade was on the 22nd. But I think I will do that. Thanks THEKARATEKID!

Some people (including myself) might proceed with a little caution if a person has no references. Do not take it personal. You can always offer to send out your pin first if that is more comfortable for the other party. Best of luck

Good Call Merryweather. Nevr thoight of it that way.

Yeah that's a good idea.

Thing is though everyone is new at trading when they first start so you will start out with no references just like they did at one point. It just depends on how trusting of a person they are.

If you have a eBay account you can tell them what your name is on that and if you have a good feedback score on there maybe?

This is exactly what I was going to suggest

What about getting a 3rd party involved?

Say find a trader, or mod on the board with a very very high feedback score..... Both traders send that person their pins. The mod or 3rd party person verifies they are both not fakes, and sends them to the people to complete the trade?

The trader replied to us ,ast night. She said just send with DC and 1st class on monday/tuesday. Thanks everyone for your help!
