Yes that is the trade. And yes I received my end. The issue I'm having is that for a few days after it was shown delivered via tracking, he continued to say he hadn't received the package.

Edit: It shows delivered on 10/22/14.

What's my best bet in a situation like this? The package shows delivered quite some time ago.

Also, why would you cancel your existing trades, is it really that difficult to open another browser to reference prices during this TCGPlayer dilemma? I feel sorry for the people that were trading were you.

I know, right?  HOW DID ANYONE EVER TRADE ONLINE BEFORE THIS DEVASTATING CATASTROPHE?!?!?!

Deckbox team, you could take the position of: Our service was so convenient and useful, that people forgot how to live without it...

I will be the first to admit that this is true for me.  It's a lot of the reason I'm so upset.  There was a time in my life when I didn't have a vehicle of my own.  Now that I do, if it were suddenly taken from me, yes I would live.  But you can be damned sure that I'd be amazingly annoyed. sad

No, a valid reaction is " Im going to hold off trading/selling for the moment until this gets fixed to an acceptable level". Saying the site is "nearly unusable" is overreactive to the everything else deckbox does that those MANY other forums do not.

I also think that how each person uses the site is variable.  So what is unusable for one person is perfectly fine for another.

Website is nearly unusable as is...

This is the most overreactive statement Ive seen. The fact that all your cards and decks are still listed and stored in once place means nothing? Trading didnt stop. Is it really that much extra work to have an extra browser window open next to deckbox to TCG or SCG or ebay or mtgprice or wherever to do a quick search of the current price of a card? Sure this is an extra step in the process but honestly, if you are that concerned about having the most current price of a card when completing a trade/sale, this should be something done regardless if a price generated automatically or an idea in your head on how much its worth.

Im honestly shocked by the amount of negativity and the lack of patience some people have.

Actually, that seems like a pretty valid reaction.  If we're just going to use other browser windows to check pricing anyway, why use Deckbox at all?  Why not use one of the MANY other forums that exist.  One of the features that drew people to trading here was the instantly accessible pricing information for both sides of the trade.  That feature is currently not gone.  This makes the website amazingly less useful than it was just 24 hours ago.

I have answered this above. We cannot remain in our current form.

What research or user surveying was done before deciding on the market?  I've looked back through announcements and forums, and I see nothing about it before it was announced.

I don't think anyone said they ever did surveys or research? I think the point she's making is they were going to monetize the site or shut it down because it was to much work to do for free anymore, and hooking up people that have cards and people looking for cards to buy/sell as an alternative to trade seems more natural than just charging for a membership or something.

This is my point.  Typically, if you're going to start a business model, you do some research beforehand.  I'm just curious to learn the thought process.  Because it seems that it was done without research or surveying, and now has the very real potential to bite them.  I hope that it ultimately doesn't, but it's undeniable that the potential is there.

If everybody stopped complaining and left sebi and the rest of the DB team alone they would have more time to fix the issues. They know what they need to do. Let them do it. In the meantime, go outside or something. Or go back to work...like me wink

By all means, people!  Do not voice your opinions!

I'm hoping that this change actually allows Deckbox to move away from the restrictions of TCG player and accommodate more of the promos & cards that were not previously listed.

There are coming next week! smile

That's great to hear.  But, really?  Getting promos listed is high on the priority list right now?

I don't understand the negativeness.

The negativity is coming from the fact that there was no warning.  There was no survey to see what users of the site wanted to do.  There was no transition period.  We woke up this morning, and it was "SURPRISE!  The site is currently broken.  Trading as you once knew it doesn't work anymore.  Wheeee!"

Well, if early indicators are to believed, this is probably going to end very badly. sad

Also note, the x% of tcgplayer setting is just to pre-fill prices. It does not continuously update prices, just sets them once. If you want to keep them up to date, you have to do it manually, or re-set them via the dialog.


I think this is a VERY important distinction.  It's probably worth putting in the rules, as this isn't how I interpreted it, and judging by some of the other posts, I don't think others are either.

Thank you for clarifying, however.

It might be a small wording issue, but I'd like to get verification.  Our initial $10 payment is stated to be returned on the first bill.  To accumulate $10 in fees, we'd need about $144 in sales.  If we don't have that much in our first month, will the credit carry over?

I would also like to know what the 6.9% will be going towards.

Last but not least, since we have the option to set our prices to a percentage of TCGPlayer Average, will this be update sooner/more often than it is now?

I'm looking to trade these cards for other cards I need.  I'm not interested in trading them down (for the most part).  Take a look at my lists, and see if we can work anything out.

Title is straightforward.  Willing to trade value since I'm going up.

Looking to build Sneak and Show.  I am only willing to trade the Tropical Island towards Volcanic Islands.

Obviously, it would depend on pricing, but I'd like to trade for whatever I can get.

Trade discussion started.

Priority Wants:
Volcanic Island
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Show & Tell
Sneak Attack
Misdirection

I have pictures of the Tropical Islands on my profile page.

Take a look at my tradelist, and see what we can work out.

I have a 2x TNN I'm looking to trade.

Up

Looking to trade my set of SDCC Planeswalkers for some Legacy goodness.
