Waiting for packages and the replies from traders is giving me anxiety. Wait a month, hopeful responses but no action. 

I am going to have to message everyday until I I feel like I'm losing control. leaving negative feedback on people with 100% success reputation is BAD BUSINESS!!  How long before leaving feedback?    Any way to send urgent messages to other members? 

what haven't I done to get a quick reply?

If the trades are in the US and people are shipping cards timely, cards normally take less a week to arrive..Have they marked their package as "Shipped"?

And how many trades have they done? and are they logging into the site pretty regularly?

After a couple of weeks I'd be concerned but other than constant messages, not sure that you can do anything other than to threaten leaving negative feedback..

Commnication is key in trading..

I spent 10 hours yesterday pulling cards for trades, packaging, shipping, etc. (no joke) so to anyone who says "Hey, they're only sports cards" some of us have a serious time and money dedicated to trading.. 

I understand that life happens but communication is a must!!  I feel constant pressure if I fail to meet my own obligations.

It just feels like bad business

It could also be the postal system. I sent out a trade to NJ and it took over 3 weeks to get there. It was only going from SC. But I sent another to Canada and it took 5 days.

I would leave negative feedback after waiting another couple of weeks, even if you receive cards..the negative could be- 'does not respond to messages timely, but cards received' or something like that..

I'm having a similar issue with one member. We both mailed almost two weeks ago. My cards came within a few days after he sent. Now we both live in New England, so I know it doesn't take that long to receive. I sent him a message after a week and asked that he let me know if his cards arrived, and that I would send him make-up cards. I received no response from him even though he's logged in every day and has been active. I sent a trade proposal a few days ago, to make up for the lost/stolen cards, and still no response. Seems kind of rude if you ask me. I'm trying to make things right and I'm just getting blown off.

Somehow I feel this is aimed at me. Rightly so. I am by far the slowest trader around. I have too many things "swirling around" all at once....family, home and cards. My sorries to anyone affected by my "slothlike" card trading, but at least I do communicate. lol.

I would only add that the original post is entirely too vague to give any suggestions on. We wouldn't need a member name but a timeline of when the trade was accepted, when cards were sent and said to have been sent, also a timeline of communication. I know personally that with my busy schedule I am usually prompt on communicating messages but sometimes my communication is it might be 3 or 4 days before I will have time to send something out. 

I just wanted to make it clear that I feel without the mentioned sort of details it's probably a bad idea to make any recommendations on what to do next.

I agree with BSwagger. Need some details on the timeline. Also, it may be "bad business" but this is a hobby site and you are trading with people not a company. The better business bureau probably won't care. Everyone has their own idea of the proper way to trade. Always check the feedback of who you are trading with and don't send anything you aren't prepared to lose entirely. Seems odd that it would happen often to anyone. I trade on here a couple times a week and have had really only one issue ever in a couple hundred trades. 

I have 2 trades going and the not responding to messages has me out of options.

I understand the unfortunate issues you are having Bob. I am being so patient that it hurts. I'm not going to leave you bad feedback. what DO YOU HAVE in your inventory that Is accessible for a trade??  I have 2 other people on fb who are pulling cards that I'm waiting for you to ship. You say a week and I give you two. If you tell me a week, I kind of expect to hear from you.  Hope all is well

Another trader I sent to got mine but the package he sent was stolen from my box. I'm guessing. (why he didnt send tracking # idk) Dude said we can work something out and my idea was to send me whatever he has doubles etc of that are on my list. I wasn't even being picky! and no response. No response. Another trader with 100% trade rating and a pillar of this trading community. 

I don't wanna be a bitchy housewife.
