Title: How can I tell if someone read my PM?
Post by: cricket on August 11, 2013, 06:31:58 AM: Please pardon my ignorance but how can I tell if someone has read a PM I sent them? I hate to think the worst but I think I might be getting scammed. It all comes down to if this person read the PM I sent them but I can't tell. Any assistance you can give me would be great.

Thank you!

Hope that helps!

Post by: Dewprincess on August 11, 2013, 09:20:35 AM: How long ago did you send the PM? I know that sometimes I am unable to reply to PMs right away sometimes (if I check at work on my phone I may need to wait to respond until I get home, etc.)...

Post by: cricket on August 11, 2013, 09:46:12 AM: I sent it last Wednesday. My life is very busy and I also don't respond until I get home from work which is why I've given it a few days.

This could always be a possibility this time of year.

Are you in a transaction with this person?

Post by: cricket on August 11, 2013, 02:08:08 PM: Yes, I commissioned them to make a custom for the G3 swap. The pony didn't arrive in time for the swap which is a bummer but since it was coming from overseas wasn't a huge deal as I knew it could take some time and figured I would send it once it arrived. There have been lapses in communication through this entire process but now communication has ceased entirely and still no pony. I have had two successful transactions with this person in the past which is why I've waited so long to post. I'll try to contact them again and wait a little longer to see if the pony shows up. The post could just be reaaalllly slow I guess.

I really hope that this artist comes through for you, I'm sure we'd all hate to hear about another member flaking out. Keeping my fingers crossed for ya.
