Topic: Not receiving notification of a new trade

Something that is a little odd, but I seem to remember when I first started using this site that it would send me an email when another user would start a trade with me. Lately I am not getting those emails and I am only getting the notification that they have cancelled the trade. I had one that someone started over a month ago and they cancelled because I never responded.

Is it possible to get email notifications when someone starts a trade with you? I have missed out on several opportunities because I don't sign on to the site very often and it is a little irritating. I know it is annoying for the people trying to trade with me that never get a response.

It usually only sends you an email that trade has been proposed not when trade has just been started.

Yep, this has always been the case.  If they don't actually propose the trade, then you don't get alerted.

Re: Not receiving notification of a new trade

well that is rather annoying then because I have a list of probably 4 or 5 trades that no one "proposed" but they started and then posted a message on. Since I never got alerted and replied, they got tired of waiting and then cancelled the trade. Makes me look bad and I lost out on a few sales/trades.

Any chance of getting that changed so we get alerted? Or perhaps a note telling people that there won't be a notification unless they propose it?
