I have been talking to a guy on another forum about a trade. He contacted me out of the blue and offered me a marker I have been looking for. We PM'ed back and forth a few times, and it was a bit strange. Almost like the guy was talking to someone else, or one PM behind me.
At any rate, aside from that..you know it is sometimes hard to get a read on someone from a note, so the guy offers to ship first as I have better feedback, and I have not heard from him again. I know he got my address, and the fellow has decent feedback for what he has. I put my item up as pending, and sent him an email to confirm everything, like I usually do, and have not heard from him at all. According to his profile, he hasn't even been back on.
I just find it a little odd, that he would have decent feedback telling of his good communication, and at the tail end of a deal he just quits logging on. I know that I check in from time to time for updates, and often a quick look at the items picture in anticipation. etc.
What is the "standard" wait period for something like this before you just relist your item and go on about it?
Now is obviously too soon, no way it could even have been shipped here yet in most cases, but at what time next week do I consider this a null deal and move forward with other offers?
