Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

In this time of CO19, having offers withdrawn are understandle. However, we have discussed communication in multiple posts. A brief message would help ALL traders understand their withdrawl. Why did you withdraw the offer?

I have withdrawn for several reasons to members. If a proposal sat for a lengthy time and I have seen the the Member had been on here for days but never replied(even after sending a message). I with draw.. Also to remove a card another member is after in another proposal and the existing proposal of the other member never responded. So I have exchanged cards in a proposal.. sometimes reposting it, other times just deleting if it sat there again.

What does a virus have to do with trades?

The same thing as bed bugs.....

Bob almost sounds southern with that "withdrawl".

I don't know about people worrying about transmitting the virus through the mail, but other factors do have to be considered when thinking about trading. Some people might understandably consider card trading to be relatively insignicant in light of everything that's going on, and not want to go out to public places. I personally just mailed three trades at the post office on Tuesday, and it was kind of eerie. Not nearly as busy as usual, and the people in line were "social distancing" themselves a few feet apart. I've also noticed that mail delivery is slower. A simple PWE mailed to me from NC on March 7 didn't arrive arrive until yesterday. 

The bottom line, as already mentioned, is communication. Not that you have to justify yourself and why you withdrew the offer, but the other person might appreciate a message.

I've had two withdrawn in the past week after I think only one ever prior.  Part was probably me being slow as I've focused on potential lock down preparations over trading.  

I had someone withdraw a trade last weekend that they proposed one evening.  I noticed it on my phone  when I was checking my e-mails that next morning while I was out of town.  Clicked on the link but barely looked at what the trade was.  That evening when I returned home, I opened the site and it had already been withdrawn.  Really disappointed that I never got the chance to respond.
