I think it's really annoying when you want to trade with someone from basil but they live on the other side of the world. Stupid time zones =="

aaaagh. just set up a meeting time on the weekend when it doesn't conflict with school or work. it would also help if you checked playing times of someone before you bid on their auction in case you're totally incompatible. or you could use duey but you run the risk of getting scammed that way, so yeah

Its not a problem if people are honest about their playing times. Stupid basil'ers who list playing times as "lots" and other vague nonsense doesn't help and these days I always check an auctioners playing times before bidding. Usually only if something is very hard to find (or very cheap) will I bid on auctions if the player has a vague time listed.

Thats only half as annoying if the person you trade with leaves you negative feedback and say 'Never On'. And, @above Yeah exactly heaps of people but their times as 'Random'.

[quote] is2coco1 : I think it's really annoying when you want to trade with someone from basil but they live on the other side of the world. Stupid time zones ==" [/quote] Why is it annoying? Because you will too lazy/irresponsible to check for their playing times? Or because you didn't bother to figure out if the end time for the auction would be a convenient time for you to be in-game? Or didn't bother to check on the bidders info? As a bidder, you are responsible for checking up on the compatibility between you and the seller. As a seller, you should check up on the compatibility between you and all bidders. If you are unsure of compatibility, then you should've messaged the seller to request for accurate info. You are responsible for any bid you have on an auction. If you are a reliable trader, you will be able to complete an auction regardless of the incompatibility of playing times. I do not get annoyed by traders whom live on the other side of the world. I only bid on auctions that I believe will be compatible for me. I take responsibility and am reliable.
