DPF Development HELP! Help us test the DPF "Public" Pin Trading Board!

Yes! That was my next message. 🫣

I know nothing, but I feel like this is going to have to be on the trader to keep track since it isn’t connected to your pin and pop account. Something to consider.

fix for this has been implemented.

If you have multiple offers on the same pin(s), accepting an offer with those pins should make them unavailable for trade in subsequent offers, even if a trade including those has already been proposed. You should get an error/notification when trying to accept an offer to a pin that's already committed to an accepted offer:

Okay I love the idea of this but have way too many questions and I'm way too overloaded to start playing with it yet but one question for starters - does this include some kind of feedback system to note good traders?

Color me impressed! Now what if you have more than one of a pin?

since there is no "inventory management" functionality, my solution for this would just to be to create another listing for the same pin (or pins) that you have multiples of.

I don't plan on incorporating any "inventory" type features for this, since I feel that's what the pin databases are for; the goal here is to just create a different type of trading experience (but that feels familiar), and reduce as much friction and manual intervention as possible for finding, initiating, and managing "snail mail" trades.

There is currently no built-in feedback system yet, but my original thought was since it’s tied to DPF by design, that you could reference their feedback here.

It’s also why there is no built-in messaging system; I want it to complement the forum by providing something forums aren’t that great at (even though many here have been doing it that way for years, even before DPF)

However if this becomes the default way to trade here (and perhaps even others outside of the forum, though they will still need a forum account for communication), then maybe building in its own simple feedback system may be worth considering, and the feedback here can be used as a backup reference; similar to how the DizPins reference center was a backup to DPF’s feedback while DPF was still coming online after DizPins’ closure.
