Especially given the way the mail is being handled by the USPS right now.

100% Agree. If there is an issue on one side it needs to be dealt with and members should not ignore any messages regarding trade deals (or anything really). I don't consider the entire transaction complete until both sides have said it is. But 1 side can complete earlier then the other.

It may be completed in your mind and at your end but the transaction does comprise of both ends of the trade. I had someone mark his end as completed but I did not receive the cards for 7+ weeks after he had sent them. At the 7 week mark, I asked about them but never got any response to my query. Obviously to the member, in his mind the trade was completed so why bother opening and /or answering any transaction messages. Fortunately, the cards finally arrived. And another name was added to my "No Trade List".

I'm not sure I agree with that. I am definitely one of the people who flips the status to 'Completed' before my partner. I look at it like this: when I receive the packahe I change the status to 'Package Received'. Once I have opened the package and reviewed the cards and everything is good on my end I change the status to 'Completed'. From my perspective that portion of the trade is complete. I see them as two separate statuses - not one status for the entire transaction.

I agree with you Bruno on who hits complete first. I think once the second person gets their cards and gets a chance to review, they should be the first to hit complete. Then the first person knows it's all good.

Totally agree. Transaction complete is me receiving my cards. Not waiting on someone else.. 2 separate transactions.. and yes , I have accidentally hit this once before “cards received “ buttons.. ooops.. I learned..

I hear what you're saying but I'm trying to communicate that, even though I got my cards, until the other cards arrive I'm not running away. It's kind of a way of saying, I really sent the cards and im standing behind what I said I would send.

First thing if you look, it states Your Status and Their Status Not the transaction status. So when you recieve cards or payment. your side is done. If there is a problem on their side You will have to work it out.

I have clicked on the wrong button more the once. Then I had to message the member and say I'm sorry. If this feature helps that issue Great. Some of the other issues may have to be addressed later as they come up.

It may not be as easy as some think.

I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.

I usually wait until both sides have received before marking a transaction as "complete". Just like to make sure both sides are happy with everything and everything arrived safely. It just seems to be the courteous thing to do.

I find it interesting to see who thinks which way, and for many not surprisingly.

What Dan said. This is EXACTLY how I operate. How can a transaction be "complete" until both side have gotten their cards ? Edited on: Aug 11, 2020 - 5:19AM

An interesting discussion....
My two cents... for me, a transaction is not "complete" until my trading partner receives the cards and is satified with the cards received. If you're a serious trader, how can you think otherwise? If I'm the first to receive cards, I just mark my side "received" and wait. If I receive my cards last and my partner has indicated no issues on their end, I'll mark my side "received" and then "complete". This way works for me and I always have 10-20 trades going at any time.

Exactly as I do it and believe is right.
