I have had over 30 outstanding trades and this is the first time this has happened to me. I sent a trade offer to someone around 2 weeks ago. I only requested 2 cards at first because they were not common base or insert cards and I did not know if I had any cards the other person would be interested in. Last week they sent me a counteroffer back, I resent a counteroffer asking for a few more cards. I even sent them a message that I was interested in a few more cards and that if they could not find any other cards they could detlete the ones that I added until they were satisfied with the trade. Well this morning I get a message back and they said that I changed the whole trade and they were not interested any longer in trading and declined the trade. Sort of made me feel like I did something wrong, I thought that sending counteroffers and negotiating was part of trading? Now I am sort of hestitant in requesting trades because now I think that if ask for 2 or 3 cards instead of 1 that someone is going to get PO'd and decline the trade. On a side note, I guess things even themselves out. I sent a trade request to someone and they sent a counteroffer back and added more cards to my side heavily in my favor. Made me feel a little better after reading the other message before that from the cancelled trade.
