With nearly 300 completed trades here is what i've come to observe on deckbox:

1)  There is no etiquette.  The internet (in general) lacks reality, something observable/physical thus no accountability.  The internet is like our imagination, it is what we want it to be.  There is no connection to people let alone social behavior.  We believe there is a disconnect between real life and the internet.

2)  If you find someone with etiquette respond in kind.

3)  A day is far too short, wait a week.  Deckbox is like an auction house.  People wait for the best deal.  Have some patience.

4)  People will ignore trades, take time to think, not respond.  Just remember items 1, 2, and 3.  Do not think of deckbox like you are trading in person.  They are very different, not comparable.

1/5 of all proposals end up as a completed trade for me, which I believe to be a high percentage.  Give things time and just keep at it.

Great advice! I'd also add always say something when proposing a trade. Myself, and many others, will flat out ignore any trade where the person doesn't say anything and just proposes a trade, even if it is a trade I'd do.
