What would you think if you made a trading deal and nothing arrived to you?

I'm sorry to hear about that Andreas,   if I were to trade figures with someone I would definitely provide a tracking number so the person receiving the package knows for sure that I sent it or have them send what they're trading me first and wait til it arrives and then ship what they are trading for to them. I really don't know why people do this, I would just be glad that you didn't pay alot of money for it and the other person refused to refund you.

Long time ago and it was not so important for my collection  

Once I though Andrea's pack was lost and was preparing a refund but it arrived to him a few days after we decided a refund.

If you are mailing a parcel from the USA to Europe, for example, it will cost you a small fortune in many cases to send it via a shipping method that provides a tracking number...

If I were ripped off I would be so angry and probably put a hole in the wall. I'm guilty of waiting for my stuff to arrive before shipping the partner's items just to make sure I am not being ripped off. I know goatherder, Froggie, widukind, and NandO are safe traders so I won't wait to ship their items now!

I know you mean well, Emma, but you should let the other party know that his/her parcel will be delayed before the trade is made. Otherwise, it's a breach of trading etiquette.

If you cannot trust another collector to honor a trade agreement, you might want to consider if you should make a trade with that person,
in my opinion...

i usually send my end of the trade at the same time the other party sends the package (or within the week). just a matter of trust. i usually trade only with well known/regular people in the forum anyway. i would be very wary of someone who just showed up/registered in the forum to trade/sell.

oh    so bad my friend   
Lat year I buy two schleich retired schleich figures to the same seller on ebay.   the figures never arrive me and i buy them again to another seller

Yes I remember that now, I probably should've said I would give a tracking number if the trader wants to pay for it.
