This Fridays test round table----Remember this is a test run to see if it will work, and if we can do this for all sorts of topics in the future.
How it will work----
We will try to have those of you attending post your questions<at least some,> here in advance if you have them,

This will give our panel a day or so to try to postulate answers,,,,, for some of the questions.

Each panel member will use an emoticon to start thier replies to the questions, this should make it much easier to follow along , even if chat is fairly busy.

Each panel member will answer the question, to their abilites, in a semblance of order,
<ie question will be posted and rotate thru panel order in answering>

Live questions, those not previously posted here to be asked, should be pm to the host<see ringleader hat> during chat so as to allow them tobe interjected without interupting panel members or have them trying to keep track of questions.
<yes I will have crayons and minions to cypher them out>

This discussion will focus primarily on internet trading, there should be some things to remember , hints to keep in mind, and maybe one or two tricks that can be shared, not only from the panel but from the attendees as well, Already several of the agreed members who accepted to be on this panel have expressed a genuine excitement that they too will learn from this.!!!

Oh you ask, who will be on the panel.........

ok , Representing the West Coast will be

Goofy Moe<Moe>
YoSoyAhPuch<Alex>
Psycho Pixie<Kristine> CONFIRMED NOW!!


Representing the Middle coast will be
Swinginkitten<sallie>

From the East coast we will have

So if you wish to attend, and have questions now is your chance, respond here and they will be the first ones we get to on Fri night!!!

Thanks for letting us know about the ipad!! Sorry Judy,,,,,Can you use a tower or laptop? We were hoping you could help represent the middle coast, it is however very understandable if you will not be able to join us due to "technical issues"

We still thank you for all that you do and appreciate your support!!
 
Okay, I've been doing it for a while, so these aren't really my questions, but they're ones I would have asked when I started if I had some place to do so, lol.

1) How do I know if it's safe to trade with someone?

2) How do you know what condition the other party's pins are in? Is ther a recourse if they are damaged in some way?

3) How long do you wait for your package before you start asking questions?

4) What do you do if you don't get your package but the other party continues to be in contact with you, assuring you that the package is coming but still nothing? How long would you wait before filing a complaint?

5) Should you be worried if the other party keeps trying to build your trade bigger and bigger and you can't really find any references for this individual?

6) Is it okay, after agreeing to a trade, but not yet exchanging addresses, to back out (for whatever reason)?

7) What do you do if you receive and unreasonable TA request?

8) What should you do (in all good conscience) if you receive a TA that contains a note asking if you would consider selling the pin if there is nothing they can trade for it?

9) How long after realizing that a trade is never going to arrive, is it reasonable to still make a complaint? (I had one of these that I completely forgot about and didn't notice for months and just wrote off as it was a single pin and not a big deal)

10) If someone makes you an offer that seems too good to be true, how can you check to find out as much as you can about their trading history?

You asked for some questions, so I thought I'd throw a few in that come to mind for newer traders, etc. Hope this helps some. :pooh:

wonderbar...nice
i may come peek....so what time again, maybe i missed it. is there a topic beginner trading was it? awe crap maybe the topic should be how to read a thread and retain its information. Ok let me put down the wine and go read all this again. If i cant join i will just look west for Judy's smoke signals.

If you wanna go real slow....how about baic "how to use pinpics" after using it liberally for over 2 years i JUST learned how to view WHO your offers went out to, which i never knew. Also standard navigation of dizpins and the reference system--
