Hi,

I've mostly had a good experience on deckbox, however I have had an experience with a user who was very unresponsive - ghosting after agreeing to a trade for multiple weeks.  This was the second time they did this to me.

I did some digging and this user has 145 uncompleted and 21 completed trades in the year 2025.  This is an 87.4% cancel rate.  I had to go in and calculate this myself, but if this metric was visible to me, I may have chosen not to try to trade with them, saving me time and helping to avoid tying my cards up in trades that were most likely never going to happen.

To establish the usefulness of this metric, I calculated the cancel rate for four other users whom I have done trades with and found the following values:
- 38.2%
- 38.9%
- 47.8%
- 76.4%

This suggests that the user who I had a negative experience with is an outlier.

Could a "Recent trade completion rate" stat be added?  It could serve as an extra signal in addition to feedback, for cases where users are creating negative trade experiences prior to actually accepting a trade.  I think this stat would be a valuable addition to help users to avoid other users who are effectively gaming the reputation system by never actually accepting trades but pretending to be interested, wasting people's time and energy.

Thanks.

The trading opportunities list on a user's profile does not exclude cards in other trades.  An option alongside "Strict matching" to exclude those items would help when planning multiple trades, especially when trading larger numbers of cards.  If this could also extend to Can give / receive on the main trading opportunities index page, that would be very useful as well.

It would also be nice to have a button to automatically add to a trade all cards that strictly match your wishlist that aren't in other trades.  This option would be even more useful if you could exclude auto-adding expensive printings when they aren't specified as the specific printing you want.

This would make it so constructing trades is considerably less tedious for my use case, which is trading for bulk.

Alternatively, if there was an API I could use I could build this for myself.

Cheers,
Mator
