I have been trading for about 10 years and I have seen "trends" come and go. The most recent "trend" I have been experiencing is that:

I get a TA via PinPics from someone offering a Trade. I respond that its good to go and please send me their mailing address. I then NEVER hear back from them again? I try follow-up e-mails, PM's and such at least 3 times with no response.

I "hold" my pins until I hear back from the first offer made that I get, so sometimes I am losing out of Trading offers because I want to honor to first offer made. Whats crazy is that I then get MORE offers from the same people asking for trades on different pins EVERY day?? I send them e-mails mentioning that I am waitng to hear about other outstanding trades - Nothing back?

Is it that stuff is going to Spam filters, or just a lack of "how this Trading stuff is suppose to work"?? Also, its not just a "newbie" thing, some of the folks have quite a list of References.

I think it is hitting some people's mailbox as SPAM now for some reason. I've had offers and have responded also and the person never got back to me.
 
I have has many of these, though it seems to be much more recent then it has in the past. I have had a couple of people respond that they already completed a trade with someone else, but a majority have lately been no response at all. All my first time requests do go to my junk mail which I clean out daily specifically looking for trade requests. Once I respond to a request though I add the address to my list and the responses and any future trade requests then go to my inbox instead. It does get frustrating sometimes though I have to admit. I also only hold pins for about a week before taking other trade offers for them.

I have had the same problem. I've been trying to get a certain pin and they don't even respond to my offers.

I have had that happen quite a bit where I post a request and get no response. But in this case I think it is different. Getting a trade request from someone, agreeing to the request you received, but then getting no return response. I kind of think that is more of a problem. It's like if you were face to face and someone say hey I'll give you this pin for that one, I say OK and then the person just walks away without saying anything. To me it almost comes off a bit rude.
 
I've also gotten a couple of these. Actually, from the same person: twice. I reply back and get nothing in return. It wouldn't be so disappointing if it wasn't for them offering a particular pin for which I'm am looking to acquire. Oh well...
 
I hope I haven't not responded to anyone before - if someone sends that they are interested and I've already traded the pin or something, I'll make a note to reply as I would expect the same courtesy.

I've only once come across where someone ignored my accepting their trade (and did not get back to me until I sent two follow up emails). It was disappointing as it was a pin I had been searching for and essentially only 'anonymous' traders or traders who never even get back to me with a decline were trading it, so I got my hopes up that I had at last found it. Now I've completely given up on that one. :lol: I feel bad that others come across this more often though. :(

I also had someone from on here TA me an then no response when I emailed back. I just ignore theirs now too.

I DO check my Spam and Junk Mail because I have mine on a high filter. Everyone should check theirs.

uptownbabe you are so rude stop it you cant control people if they dont responed it is not the end of the world we are acting like little kids well welcome to my world
 
I am not being rude to anyone. Insulted that you would think that I am trying to control anyone. I agree it isn't the end of the world if someone doesn't respond.

If you want people to start growing up, try growing up yourself. Change starts within.
