This is where I believe some fellows get into trouble....having one too many trades/sales going at one time.
I've seen and been there myself...having 5 or maybe 15 different trade/sales all pending to go out in a day or two. (Wonder why some guys don't respond to a thread quickly sometimes)
I'm not saying all guys/gals would mess things up...but...cards can go in different trades/sales, packages can get misplaced and not make the PO as promised, package didn't get the DC as planned or forget to mail a package and swear you did.
Another thing to keep in mind is...finish one transaction before starting another one with the same person. I had this happen countless times. Nothing is more confusing then this. Finish the trade...get it posted.......then......go to the next trade/sale.
I don't know if this helps anyone, but I know one to many trades/sales going at the same time can mess you up big time. Best to only have one to maybe three. Finish them up and start trading again.
Happy Trading!

Haven't been there myself, but I do understand how it would easily mess things up

Very good point Alexis. I've been there myself as well, and I know this will be helpful. Trust me, it's no fun at all. Trading is meant to be fun, but when you get quite a few trade/sales going at once, it can become really frustrating. If you haven't been down the path before, then that's good. You need to stay that way and limit yourself to a maximum of only 3 trade/sales at once. Any more than three can become confusing. Since this is on the subject of trade/sales, I'm going to mention that you shouldn't ship your end out until the trade/sale gets posted. We have no proof of a trade/sale going bad if you ship and the trade/sale never gets posted and you never receive your end. This is also important, 'cause your trade partner could decide to drop the deal at the last minute before posting. There's nothing we can do if this happens. That's why it's important to wait until the trade/sale gets posted. If you don't wait, you're taking a risk of the trade/sale never getting posted. This in turn, can lead to you not possibly receiving your end. Even if the trade/sale does get posted, it has to be confirmed by your trade partner. With this said, you also need to make sure you and your trade partner are on the same page with a trade/sale. Thanks, Collector
