Think I may have experienced my first ghosting. I sent mine, they sent theirs (marked as such) marked mine as received, and now they haven't been on the site in a month and haven't seen my cards yet. Multiple messages have gone unanswered.

Very sorry to hear that. I hope it's a 'life happens' moment and that he/she will be back, but it's also quite possible it's a cut and run given a few particular members (with multiple accounts) sometimes do. Is it a user that has traded often or do they seem relatively new?

Hi, not to get too specific but where was your package coming from (State/City/Province)? A lot of crazy weather this summer. Parts of Canada are on fire (Northern Alberta, B.C., Yellowknife, parts of Quebec), then there was that hurricane what's its name that went through Florida, the brush fire in Maui that took out that entire town, or maybe just vacation with the family for a few weeks?

It could be worse. We have lost some members in recent years. Hopefully this trade partner is still with us.

That's the down side of an aging hobby and hopefully isn't the case here. I'd be curious to see a poll of what the average age of people on this site actually is.

He's relatively new. I helped walk him through his first trade on here and then he had a couple others, I think. Believe me, I've considered the dark possibility that trade partners must occasionally expire mid trade...

I have an open trade with the same member. The last correspondence from him was on 8/16 apologizing for the delay and that the cards would go out the next day with tracking. Nothing since then.

It's kind of tough. it'd be an easy call if the member was logging in every day and just ignoring everything. But hasn't logged in for over 3 weeks now. So, yeah, something may have come up and life happens. I had a trade pulled for a member earlier this year, a trade that he initiated, and sent a counter. it sat there for 3 weeks and person never logged in. That same person still hasn't logged back in. Unless you sent some awfully valuable stuff, I'd tend to lean more towards life than "theft".
