figment919 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 (edited) I have been sending out Trade requests and it seems that about half are read and half are not. This is based on the information in the message area that shows whether the requests are read or not yet. Please ANSWER one way or the other if you are interested or not, its appreciated!! Mike S.

buzz2001 Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 I agree Mike. Its frustrating that they have trade assist turned on but they are not visiting the site to read messages. 1
figment919 Posted January 24, 2024 Author Posted January 24, 2024 Some are marked "read" but there is no response as to whether they want to trade or not. 1
mollyanne Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 That is why it is good to look at their profile to see when the last time they logged in. I might send out a Bulk Email in regards to this..... Molly 3
firechief18 Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 That's really frustrating when they don't respond. I give them a week then delete the request. If they are on another group I might reach out to them via an alternate channel to ask them if they are interested in the trade request sent via pinpics. 3
bambiflowerthumper Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I’ve had quite a few of these also and it’s a bummer. 3
kpop Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 Have any of you seen the "Open to Work" banner that people can activate on LinkedIn? It would be great if there was a highly-visible button or switch on the dashboard that people could use to indicate they're "Open to Trade" and then easily it turn off when they're away on vacation or when life gets too hectic. I know there's Trade Assist, but it's hard for many users to find intuitively. (Also would love some way to quickly see what country people are located in when you see a list of members who are trading the pin you want. Maybe flag icons beside the PinPics name or something? It's a bit of a bummer when you're looking for a pin and most users are only trading to US addresses.) 4
figment919 Posted March 11, 2024 Author Posted March 11, 2024 Like to Bump this up again. Site shows that the Trade request has been read (sometimes), but the person never gets back with an answer as to whether they are interested or not? Frustrating. 4
TheTwins Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Just want to chime in that we are working on getting the member's "location" visible during the trade sending process. I really agree that it would make it so much easier when trading! 1
figment919 Posted June 9, 2024 Author Posted June 9, 2024 Like to Bump this again. Sent out 10 Trade requests and waited a week. 2 were read with no response, 8 were not read at all. What can be done to encourage folks to either respond or not leave the Trade assistant active if you are not interested in trading?? 2
figment919 Posted October 15, 2024 Author Posted October 15, 2024 (edited) Bump once again. Numerous Trade requests sent out, some read with NO response, most not read at all. If you want to Trade please respond or turn off your Trading function. Have the courtesy to respond one way or the other. Also, if the trade requested is not to your liking, maybe come back with a counter-offer. This is the way it used to be done. Thanks. Mike S. Figment919 Edited October 20, 2024 by figment919 2 1
tinkrocks Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 (edited) I agree - acknowledgement of trade request would be nice. I think most of us are ok if someone doesn't want to accept a trade request, but at least send a quick response to say 'not interested at this time.' I have a list of members I have sent trade requests to that have not responded in 30+ days. Could there be an automatic response to make it easier for those that aren't interested? eg. 'Thank you for the offer, but I'm not interested at this time.' I think Molly / Admin Team mentioned that non-active members would be opted-out of trade requests and/or have their accounts flagged as inactive - is that right?

sithathoriunet Posted October 19, 2024 Posted October 19, 2024 I've reached the point where I only send trade requests to people that I've seen be active in the forum. Most of the rest of the members don't respond. 4
buzz2001 Posted October 20, 2024 Posted October 20, 2024 I try all. I’ve gotten lucky on a few that did respond that are not active here. I was able to get some ISO’s that I could not find anywhere else. It doesn’t hurt to try. 3
figment919 Posted May 15 Author Posted May 15 One more time. Sent out about 10 Trade requests. About 7 read, no response either way. 3 not read at all. PLEASE respond either way to a Trade request. Even counter-offer if you feel its not balanced. Just continuing the conversation might lead to a Trade. Mike S. Figment919 2
TheTwins Posted May 15 Posted May 15 Thanks for the comments, and a lot of us agree with this. It is annoying. However, the people who are not answering the trade requests are not the ones reading this thread. To keep the community moving forward positively, we're closing the thread for further discussion. We've already hashed this out, and it doesn't seem to help the no-response trade requests. We really recommend that if someone consistently doesn't respond to your trade messages, just don't send them any more. 3
