So I have only done four trades so far and three are in the books. Tonight I noticed that it updated my wantlists (by removing them) but it did not update my collection. Is this standard procedure? Just curious if I did something wrong. I am pathetic. LOL Thanks in advance.

I think when the person you are trading with changes the transaction to "package sent" they go to the in-transit list and are removed from your "wants".  When you get the cards, you have to change the transaction to "package received" before changing it to "complete" in order for them to be placed in your collection.  If you've already done the above, then I am pathetic as well.  

I think both parties have to make sure to hit each step along the way to ensure that everything updates properly (I could be wrong).

Accepted - Package Sent - Package Received - Completed.

Splinter is correct. You MUST follow each step in order for the cards to be properly listed.

To make that more clear, BOTH traders MUST follow each step in that exact order for the cards to be properly listed!

Nothing about you Billy, I'm just adding words to your explanation.

It's been a real problem for quite a while now that some members don't click "received" before clicking "complete" and that just screws up the whole trade! The Trade feature on this site is by far the best and most extensive of any other site, but the rules aren't in plain sight for everyone to know exactly what they are doing from the Transactions page. The main problem is not being able to go back and fix a missed click on certain links (like "package sent" or "package received").

Maybe Admin can look into a way to possibly make it where you can’t click on completed unless you have clicked on received first...

Well at least I know why, thanks a bunch all! =)

Personally, I don't think Completed should be clickable until both parties have marked Received AND left feedback. JMO though.
