[quote name='Hostile']- I would like to be able to make a trade offer without owning a game on a person's wishlist. EX:
johnsonnguyen3 has White Knight Chronicles for trade. He asks for MAG which is on his wishlist or recent PS3 games (none of which are listed). I wanted to offer him Darksiders but couldn't.[/QUOTE]
I think a better way to handle it would be to have a system in place to solicit offers from other users - that's something we can add very quickly. So, with your example, you'd be able to ping the other user to make an offer where he's able to browse your collection regardless of the games he has in his wishlist. (This is a feature that will be up soon, along with improvements to the chat system.)
[quote name='Hostile']- I made an offer to someone that accepted the trade. It would be cool if there was a pending state (like GameTZ) before a trade gets accepted because I forgot to ask what payment methods he took and it would be nice to have time to ask who ships or pays first or if it should be both sent immediately, if delivery confirmation for both, etc. It would also prevent an offer I made weeks to be cancel-able.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at, once you make a trade offer it does enter a pending state - during which time you're still able to view a summary of the trade, as well as chat directly with the other user. Also, when you're making the trade it tells you who is expected to post items first - unless arranged otherwise in chat.
[quote name='Hostile']- The ability to put items on your tradelist that isn't games. EX: Xbox 360 subscription cards, PSN cash cards
- I would like to be able to see the feedback I left others.[/QUOTE]
These items are covered in earlier posts - both features are incoming.
[quote name='Hostile']I think I remember you saying extending the inbox from 150 messages to whatever was as easy a pressing a button. Is there a reason it has stayed at 150?[/QUOTE]
I doubt the PM limits will be changing any time soon, but there are changes incoming to the chat system to solve a few problems:
- There'll be a page where you can see all trade activity, including unread chat messages, short messages from other users about potential trades - like a trading message wall.
- Global site notification on incoming trade messages/activity.
- Optional email notification for trading activity.
It should alleviate any issues related to full PM inboxes.
