CLOSING A TRADE

We just made a big improvement to the SwitchGames trading platform based on member feedback. We listen very closely to what you want so if you haven't yet submitted any suggestions, complaints, etc. we strongly encourage you to do so.

THE ISSUE:
As you may know, if either member involved in a trade has any outstanding items on their Transaction Checklist, a trade is considered "incomplete" or "in progress". Because of this, some members were ending up with trades in limbo, which effectively tied up the games in a transaction and filled their Live Transactions interface with lots of transactions that were irrelevant.

THE SOLUTION:

- When a trade remains incomplete for 14 days, you will now see a CLOSE THIS TRADE button present

- Either member involved in the trade can begin closing the trade

- Once closing begins, each user has 10 days to wrap up their tasks, including member rating (if not already done)

- When a trade remains incomplete for 30 days, SwitchGames automatically begins the trade closing process

- Once a trade begins the closing process, any of your items that were involved in the transaction can be re-listed in your My Stuff

Please let us know what you think and report any issues you might find!
