I noticed recently that the cards in-transit have not been auto updating even though both of us mark the trade as complete.  Has anyone else experienced that? Or could this be a severe case of operator error?

I always follow each step in order without skipping and have had no glitches. Of course, your trade partner has to do the same.
1) Accepted
2) Package Sent
3) Package Received
4) Transaction Completed

I recently has this problem as well, any fix for it?

Assuming it's not a glitch, the fix would be to do exactly what C2C said above. The key to remember is that both you and your trade partner must follow all of the transaction steps, in the order listed above. That means that if either one of you receives your package and immediately goes from "package sent" to "complete" it will not update the list. 

I believe that when you mark a trade as "package received" it transfers the cards to your collection, so if that step is skipped (which I would guess is the most likely step to skip) it wouldn't move the cards.

That being said, if both you and your trade partner are following both of those steps and still having a problem, perhaps there is some sort of glitch there.

UPDATE:  LOL, talk about timing.  I just had a trade partner that went from Package Sent to Transaction Completed and skipped Package Received.  The cards I sent him did not move out of In-Transit.  Of course, I followed all the steps and the cards he sent me moved out of In-Transit into my Collection.

I got to thinking about it and it's a good thing it works this way.  If cards moved from In-Transit to Collections by skipping Package Received but doing Transaction Completed that could cause problems.  Just recently a member PMed me about a trade problem.  The Post Office lost the package.  The two members in the trade decided it's the PO's fault and the transaction is completed. But they were worried if they did the Transaction Completed step all the cards would move into the Collection.  I told them I wasn't 100% sure and to ask Admin or manually remove the cards from the In-Transit list before doing the Transaction Completed step.

That makes a lot of sense . . . thanks to all.  I do recall a few earlier trades where i skipped 'package received' and went straight to completed.  My bad.
