    The system is meant for all trading.

    A guide is forthcoming, but in the meantime you should take a look at the links in this thread / the Announcements forum.

    That and potential customs hassles.

    I understand we are still in the beta phase for the trading feedback system. I was wondering if we could get an alert to notify us that we have a pending trade. I have heard this request from multiple folks already who missed requests until a BM was sent. No biggie.

    Thank so much for all the hard work on the recent and upcoming updates!

    Sorry, should have put this in Todd's post under beer trading, moving accordingly.

    As posted, it's something we'll be looking at.

    Would it be possible to add a way to signify if the trade was a BIF or LIF and so forth that way they could be included in our ratings and feedback. Like a box you could check.

    Or is that considered separate from this rating system?

    Wether or not the trade was an IP could potential be added as well.

    I feel it would show an even more complete history of a users trading activity's.

    Where do I find my Gots List? I don't see it anywhere on my Profile. I know I had a Gots List previously. If I still have one, it seems difficult to locate.

    Thanks

    I found it on my Profile page under Beer Karma. Frankly it was kind of non-obvious to find (little number to click next to Gots), and perhaps it should be a bit more prominently displayed?

    Beers > Gots. It's been there for a long time and is accessible within 2 clicks from nearly all pages.

    I have a pending trade for someone although we already left feedback. Not sure how it happened....if we both submitted a request or what. Either way, I can't figure out how to cancel the unnecessary pending trade.

    This occurs if you both request a trade with each other. If the other BA hasn't accepted the request they can deny it, or you can both leave feedback for each other again or you can wait until I apply a solution this week.

    I know this is super trivial, but each time I look at my rating (3/100%), I panic, then realize that it's good. For some reason, I read it as "3 out of 100%" each and every time. When I look at other BA's ratings, I get the same thing and I have to consciously change my typical eBay/Amazon/everywhere else rating reading ability.

    Personally, I think something like "100% (3 trades)" would be the better way to display it. If you want to be fancy, use the star (*) indicator like Amazon.com showing % positive the way they rate sellers (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0076BNK30/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used).

    I could see how this might cause some confusion. I'll give it some more thought and try a new format.

    Hi Todd, I did read though a lot of the comments and fixes, didn't see if you have addressed this one:

    "Sent" feedback; If your Sent feedback goes onto a second page (21-40), and you click on (21-40), "Next" or "Last" you get this error: 404 Not Found.

    Thanks, @WCW. Simple fix. I'll take a look at it in the AM.

    Todd, is it possible to setup a notification when someone makes a trade request?

    I could see even using a simple pipe symbol could clean it up:

    3 | 100%

    Ah yes, an alert is what I was getting at. Thanks for looking into it.
