Not received my half of a trade?
The Trading Post forum

Okay, so I made a trade with a seemingly respectable user on here. I sent my half of the trade out first. He received this and sent out cards to me around September 6th. I have not yet received these and I've tried emailing the user but he has not responded. What should I do?

That's partly why I' so confused, a lot of people seem to have traded with him and haven't had any issues. Perhaps the trade just got delayed by the postal services or something, but he did say he sent it out a while ago. I've tried contacting him about it twice since then and he hasn't responded, which is most worrying.

Hmm, that is strange. Epochalyptik?
Looks like a lot of other users have high value traded to him.

Are you overseas? If he's in the states and you are not, that may be part of the issue.

Looks like he's fallen out of contact with a few others too.

aeonstoremyliver I do live oversesas, but my end of the trade got to him in less than two weeks. I'd imagine that it would take approximately the same time for his end to get here, although as things stand it's been over twice that long. The postal service here has a system to help find lost letters if both parties co-operate. Not sure if something similar exists in the US, but that's another reason I wanted to reach him. Epochalyptik, I'll mail you now. Thanks everyone.

Normally I would say give it some more time due to being overseas. With multiple trades it might be better to at least know he is here. I did a trade with him, and it went well. I hope he gets back to you soon.

I too had started a trade with him sending out my end first as I have stated on his profile. When we were actually discussing our trade we exchanged messages pretty fast, well.. that was until I physically sent out my side of the trade on September the 5th.
I've tried contacting him multiple times through Email, Texting, and the likes to only get one message (after a few weeks of silence on his end) stating how he would be sending his side of the package out in the next few days. I understand that things can come up and plans can get set farther back but it would be nice to get a message with a update on the situation every now and again as a sign of reassurance :T .
Now.. I don't know if I am allowed to link this but this is proof that my package had been successfully delivered on the 12th of September. I am a little unsure if this means that the package has just been delivered to the post office, or if he has actually picked up said package but this is proof that I have sent out my end to him and that it has been delivered.
I just started getting into trading online recently and i'd really hate for this one trade to sour my idea of trading again online.

Pls don't kill me.
All jokes aside I think we were going to do a trade beforehand and that was previously mentioned but, it fell through due to my AWESOME ability to keep track of all of my potential trades.. My bad :T

Yikes man, I myself have done 2 trades with him with no issues.
I hope he didn't just try to cash in and do some big trades before leaving the site...
That's really crappy though, Hopefully he comes through and this is all just a big misunderstanding.
