Fulfilling deals, but ignoring wishes

It happened to me 2x now that a trade partner just went offline when I posted or PMed them to inform that I set up a deal, and when they came online they ignored my message (either via PM or in a new broker) that I'd like to 'reverse' the trade (so that they initiate).
What happened, was that I lost the naq on all the 3 occasions.

Did something like that ever happen to you?

How did you lose the naq? You weren't online when he accepted the deal?
If so yes it happens. Thats why I have a very few select people I trade with. A 3 stage broker would be a wonderful addition since you can no longer overbank but it seems Forum/admin likes to punish the lil guys so not much can be done.

For the other guys defense tho, I have accepted trades before looking at my inbox many times. I generally go to market first then training then banking then inbox so it may not have been intentional.

Re: Fulfilling deals, but ignoring wishes

its good if somehow the receiver can choose when to accept the payment, similar when you recover goods for rejected broker.

Re: Fulfilling deals, but ignoring wishes

Maybe add a "mini-bank" with "fees and charges" for every turn you leave it in the bank.

Re: Fulfilling deals, but ignoring wishes

I haven't lost anything, but I find it very annoying when I make a trade and then they leave.

Personally, I won't post requesting a broker trade unless I am commited to being online for at least a hour, or maybe even 3 depending how much I want to buy/sell.

I think its the rudest thing when someone makes a trade request thread and doesn't even stay 10min.

You can avoid this problem entirely by having people(you dont know or trust) broker you for everything.
Buying DMU with naq & uu.

Re: Fulfilling deals, but ignoring wishes

I just might start doing that.

Made a broker, wasn't accepted, went to work for 3 and half hours, come back and still not done. Very annoying.

Re: Fulfilling deals, but ignoring wishes

I always check to see if they're on ppt (if they receiving naq)... otherwise i would setup the trade ;)
