Time Zones: A Tale of a Trade Failure
Yesterday morning I woke up and check my mail and I got a PinPics trade request from France for the PP# 100625 DLP - Pin Trading Night with the Brave Cub for my Monsters University marquee. I responded to the request saying I accept and did not hear back for the person until this morning. He indicated to me he had alreday traded away his pin because I responded to late. I sent the reply back a little after 7am which is about 3pm in France.
I can't believe it, I lost out on a great trade because of the time zone.. The PinPics automated requests get sent around 3am PST but how much sooner could have I responded. I guess this is part of the mass messages that are sent out when you use the Trade Assistant and its whoever will get to a response sooner.
Does anyone handle similiar situations differently? I was thinking about only sending out one trade request at a time now to prevent this to me on the other side of the table. I would hate to accept one offer and then tell the others I already traded the pin out.
Thank you for letting me vent.:sad:
