Too many things can happen I know. I also know everyone doesn't live on the keyboard. I answered a WTS add, had 1 private message and then no more. No payment sent, no address. Only been 2 weeks or so.
How long should I just sit on this? Will the thread get closed if no activity?
I can live without the transaction. What do we do when this happens?
Move on now
I'd forget it and move on.
One word comes to mind. "NEXT".
Done. Move on.
How about one more try that says "....if I don't hear from you by X then I'll move on". There could be any number of reasons why there is no answer.
if I'm selling something and some one says ill take it I give them 3 days to confirm payment is sent then I send them an email saying transaction is canceled.
There had been no activity since the initial post for the seller until yesterday. Since there was no PM with info, I sent one to announce pulling interest.
I would do something like this. That way, if the other party had something interfere there would be a record of sorts showing that I tried and that the deal was ended.Quote:

I emailed a materials quote to my daytime job customer. Construction in his area had cut the neighborhood's internet. A call confirmed the problem and I had to re-send the email. It's hard to say what the problem is at times. I'd send my PM again and if you don't see a response after they've had activity it's time to move on.
