Thank you Joshua!

I'll give credit to Admin for fixing this, I hope. But, I feel like this may be like that roach I saw last Friday in my office that escaped quickly underneath a desk and hasn't been seen since.

I reported this issue to Admin referencing a particular trade I made with BrnxBombers51 who took the last 2018 Topps Judge Highlights cards I had, but that still showed in my inventory.

He emailed back and said this:

Looks like you had those cards listed in your collection twice.  One of them got transferred over to BrnxBombers51 and the other stayed.

That could be, but I don't believe that's what happened, I can't prove otherwise, nevertheless I checked a few other deals including some that closed out after that particular trade and all is well (on my end).

Just be on the lookout in case the roach shows up in your office.

I must be honest, I have no idea if my PC, collections, T/S or WL list are correct. Like many of you, I don't analy double-track with SSs. I would say I'm 75% accurate, but that's a guess. Fixing these issues would be foolish at this point...more reorganizing takes precedence. Sorry, if you think you found that "card", probably not. With this removal of cards or not doesn't help either. Also, I'm not dealing with a cabinet, or even a room of cards....what I deal with is an overwhelming, overflowing four rooms +. Dasit.

If this happens is there a problem?

Friday I sold some cards and payment was received   I marked payment received.   Then I sent the cards out Monday and marked it package sent.   My side is complete so I marked it completed.  Will this cause an issue.

I have marked my side complete before the other trade has sent cards also.

I took a break from trading over the summer; partially because of inventory issues. Last spring I started noticing my TCDB inventory was only about 90% accurate. It seems every trade I entered between January and May of this year had a card or two missing or I was getting cards I already had in my collection. It was getting tiresome and I felt my credibility as a trading member might suffer.

While doing a minor reinventory, I realized that I had hundreds of cards "in transit" eventhough I didn't have a single trade in progress. After a little research, I found that these were from one bad trade and a couple others that didn't complete correctly. All of them were older transactions.

Since I've started trading again this month, my inventory has been 99% accurate (I'm tracking it). I've only had a couple cards I could not find and I haven't recieved a single card that I already have. I think the missing cards are mainly due to organizational issues on my part because they were all oddballs and I store by set. Also, I am now paying close attention to my "In-transit" list. So far it has been perfect. 

The bottom line is that most of the problems I was having were either my own sloppiness or problems with completing the transaction management process correctly.

I wish that when you selected "Transaction Complete" the cards were automatically moved and/or added to your inventory regardless of what steps you took before or what the other member's status is.

I just had the issue come up again as I was looking for cards for a potential trade. It might be human trade error, and it might not. Checking to see if I have the cards for a trade and not finding them all is very dissapointing, especially if I have to turn around and refile them back into their boxes. I might have to take the fall and winter off from trading and try to get this sorted out.
