Help a newbie: Keeping track of deals?

[Cebru]

Hey all

Being new and all, I find myself now with multiple deals going on, with here and eBay, and so far there hasn't been a great deal of concern regarding keeping track of the progress of current deals. This is probably because I have been purchasing, so I send the money and wait for the cards to arrive and then provide feedback and complete the deal etc etc. I am starting to see that it can easily get messy and could be tricky to keep track of what you have going on. The only way I thought of to keep track, is to have like a journal/diary with the deals in them, but I don't think this is necessarily the most effective solution. Just wondering if this has ever really caused a problem for someone, and what tricks and tips people may have for dealing with this potential issue?

Thanks for the help and advice!

Off course there is an easier way.


1. Click on Search > Advance Search


2. TWO OPTIONS

- Search By Username = Your Forum User Name
- Search By Keyword = Put your forum Name in and select "Search Title Only" form drop down

OPTION 2 = better as you may not yet have replied to a trade thread. It will find you as it is required to post the users name in the title.


3. Search in Forums = Select "Submit Sales & Trade Agreements" Sub Forum


4. Click Search Now

That's the way I keep track of mine too!

Your right, you can lose track pretty quickly if you have a few on the go at once!

Ahhh champions! That's a much easier solution

Thanks a bunch for the replies, if anyone has other methods or whatever please post, but this way seems to be the norm and very efficient.

My personal preference is to just save the deal thread in my Favourites list on IE

Thanks for that addition turbz (can I call ya turbz? )
My Favourites is pretty chockas with other stuff, could always add a bit more to it I suppose, and that is really easy to set up and monitor.

Cheers!
