Site Forum

I just spent hours going down a list of over 100 members with a certain card I was looking for. I found many who were either never-traders, absent from the site for years, or in a non-trading period. Is there something that can be added to a member's name on the list that indicates what status they are in? It would save a lot of time when searching for actual active traders.

Look at any users' profile to determine the last date they were logged in, and / or feedback rating to learn if they use the site for trading. The trading function on this site is not a priority, so it's best to be diligent in your own research.

Go to that card.    Click on Mentions  Go to Options and click logged on last on in 30 days.   Then to For Sale/Trade.   That will get the list smaller.  Then check out their profiles to see if they have noted they are not trading.

Then there is the New Feature Request:    Account Info Removal Schedule     That would remove in some way the old accounts.

That is what I was doing, and that is what takes so much time. It's tedious.There could be a way to speed up the process.

I disagree, I think that trading is a priority.

I just went to one card and followed your advice. It reduced 230 members to 193. Still too long a list. If on the FS/T list a code or colour was seen on each name, you wouldn't have to go through each profile to find out whether they even are traders or not.

No, this is a database for trading cards. The Admin has created a function to trade amongst users as a courtesy. It is not a part of why the site was created.

A bit of advice.....Sometimes even if a trader has their trades " off", they still may be willing to move a card. Try sending a message to the person who has the card you want and see if they can work with you.

My trading is off for now. HOPEFULLY to be turned on in the next couple weeks. However, more then once or twice someone has sent a message asking if I could move a card for them. BOOM a trade happened .

If it's one single card and I am having trouble finding it on TCDB because of what you stated...inactive traders and such...I will resort to other options to source the card such as eBay or some of the FB groups I have joined. I've been in the same boat you are, but after a while I get exhausted looking for it and look elsewhere.  

Is there something that can be added to a member's name on the list that indicates what status they are in? 

It still boils down to the fact that members would have to use it.   This has been talked about more than once.   That is why some members have put it in their profile or turn off their trading so the other members can see it.   

You would think if you had a FS/FT list and a Want list you would be willing to trade or sale but that is not the case for all members.   I have no idea why, but it is what it is.   There are a number of members that will not reply to trades or messages that is just the way it is.  (Here and other sites)   

At less here you can find members that have cards for you without looking through a long list of cards you do not want to try to find a card you want, even if they do not trade or not active or not reply.

Out of that 100 members did you find any that would trade?
