What if you are given a wrong address?
Is it still my responsibility to see that the other trader receives something in return? Shall I return my pin to them? All comments welcomed!
How would you feel if you never received a pin after sending yours and knowing it got to the intended receiver. Would you say... their pin was lost in the mail guess I don't get one or would you still expect the trade to be finished.
If you do not buy insurance, which most of us don't, you are accepting full responsibility if the pin is lost IMO.
In the other thread about mail problems, I posed this situation as a hypothetical -- and here it shows up for real! I gotta be more careful about making stuff up, just in case the Making Up is magically Making Real.
Anyhow, my answer is the same now as it was in the hypothetical case: if you are given the wrong address, it's not your fault if it doesn't get to the person who gave you the wrong address. But if the pin makes its way back to you, you should resend it.
If the pin was actually delivered to the wrong address and not returned to the Post Office I might see your point. The Post Office informed the sender it was not addressed correctly and would be returned to them. That means that even though the person made a mistake it is not their fault the pin is lost. (BTW... I think it will still get returned to sender, and is just the holiday's that are holding it up.) If you do not buy insurance, which most of us don't, you are accepting full responsibility if the pin is lost IMO. As PinPics guide lines state it is your responsibility until the pin is received. You agree to that when you do a trade through PinPics. The pin was not received, plain and simple.
I'm with the bulk of the other people here. If I mailed it once and then find out they gave me the wrong address, I did my end of the trade until they screwed up. Now in this case, if the post office does return the pin to you, I would offer to still send it to the other person, but since they screwed up, I think they should pay for the postage. Why should I be out double the money for them? I shouldn't. If they wouldn't pay, I would have to think it over and figure out if I would send it anyway and or not send it. Chances are, I would never trade them again because it only means problems and trouble. Not worth any pin for that drama.
