I agree in full with Agnes in that it seems many do noy understand PinPics and it inadequacies.
Firstly, the person who receives 60 trade requests a day probably has the box checked that all pins in his collection are considered traders. I know when I look at the matches to my pins there are 8-10 pins that match up with each pin I have to offer. If you don't want so many requests, take the time to specify
actual traders.
Secondly, offers of a rack pin for LE or premium pin. This is a major failing of the program. If someone has a WDW Pin Trading pin, and I want it, and on the list of matches appears a rack pin I wish to trade, sure, I will check the box. Do I think this individual will make the trade, of course not! But I also check other pins matching that pin to show that I am open to a multiple pin offer. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to say "I will trade these three for your 1" on PinPics. I get these offers frequently.
Thirdly, I run hundreds of auctions and am now a week behind in catching up on e-mail. I will not necessarily respond unless I feel there may be room to negotiate a trade. Certainly not everyone responds to me and I don't minds. My selections might send 700 requests to 125 members, imagine the e-mails if everyone responded!
Fourth, If I feel there may be room to explore an initial offer, I will ask someone to look at my traders (unlike a comment above by a person who is put off by this approach). With pins coming out every day and many of us lacking the time to keep our wants/traders 100% up to date, there may certainly be something there that my spark some interest.
Fifth, I will not respond rudely although I will at times point out that we all trade based on different criteria, some by personal preference, some by collection needs, some based on value. I trade based on value. If need be, I will clarify this with the prospective trader and give rationale for suggesting or refusing a trade based on current market values.
Sixth, Unfortunately there is no way to stop person X from receiving the same trade offer repeatedly, although to do it on the same day is a little strange. I make trade offers perhaps once per week and I'm sure many have received the same offer 10-15 times now. All I can do is apologize, but there is no way for the program to exclude you.
Just some of my views.
