Relisting items after a possible back out

Post by Loken Tal »

Hello, thanks for looking to offer advice on how to handle this situation.

I recently agreed to make a rather large trade with another trader. The other trader had the lower reference rating (zero) so we agreed that I would ship after receiving his/her items. It is now 11 days past the date that the items were supposed to be shipped and 12 days since I have heard from the trader, despite two follow up messages I have sent. The last two messages I sent have not been read and according to the site the user hasn't accessed the site in 11 days. It seems to me that this is a back out and I would like to get my stuff posted up again so I can finally get rid of it.

My question is at what point can I safely assume that the trade is void and not be in danger of receiving a BTR if this trader suddenly appears again or ships before contacting me?

I would appreciate any advice on the best way to handle this situation.
1. Items should not be assumed to be on hold during negotiations. Opportunities come and go quickly so whoever can close out the deal the fastest gets the trade.
2. Any offers made are good for 24 hours. If I do not receive a response within that time frame offer is void.
3. Currently only looking to deal within the U.S.
4. I always provide tracking on packages I ship out and expect tracking on packages sent to me
5. If I do not leave feedback after a completed trade please contact me

Do you have his name? If so, you could try to track him down on Facebook or try to call him just to see if he's doing alright.
info about shipping: Lower ratting pays/ship first and I live in Canada.
thank you
