We all have been trading cards with people online for a while now and I must say sometimes I get really frustrated trying to reach a deal with people who are not really on the same page... here's a couple of things that I find quite ANNOYING:
1) Whenever I list a couple of cards that I am interested in a thread and asked the user if a trade is possible, my reply to that thread often become the last ever reply on that thread. In other words, the thread is abandoned as soon as I reply. This happens a lot when I trade on American sites, it's like they see an Aussie and they all run away!!
2) People don't reply to trades that they are not interested. It is nice to at least say NO so people can just move on to other deals. No point being a snob!!
3) Sometimes you go back and forth with negotiations and thought you worked something out, the guy on the other end just cut all communications. You wondered if they actually cease to exist on Earth but find out (by spying on their profile) that they have been trading with other people. You send a few more PMs, no reply...
4) Some people are really inflexible when it comes to trading... they are so one-tracked mind that they don't even want to trade majorly in their favour. The excuse is that the card they get is not what they collect. A good example, I was interested in a bunch of very low-end parallels from this US trader, offered him autos and GUs in return for the trade. The answer is NO because I dont have anything for his PC!! People need to learn how to trade to maximize the value of their tradebaits. If you have some small cards that you can swap for a big card of a decent star player, you should always do it. 95 out of 100 times you will end up getting something better with the big card.
5) People who don't ship to Australia.
So what annoys U when trading cards online?? please share.
