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.

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

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

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.

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.

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