QUOTE(truffleshuffle @ Jun 3 2009, 05:50 AM) I have lost the opertunity for alot of trades due to the fact that the other trader didn't think useing dc on a higher end trade nessasary and i would not do the trade with out it. Alot of times thought people will say they do agree to the dc but end up still sending with out it just so they get the trade. QUOTE Yes the trade I lost cards on I lost some really nice cards. So would the cards you lost if something went wrong have bothered you less? If they don't agree to it and you feel it is necessary, then it's time to move on anyway. As Tom said doubt it will ever be a "rule", same as Bob will never put a MSF rule for new people, so my guess be the same with this. I collect Hockey and many trades are with Canadian folks. So you think a rule of having to pay $10-$20 for those transactions to go UPS so there is a tracking number if it is over X $'s would be fair?If you choose to do so, let the other person know and if they agree make sure to document that in the transaction. That way it is there if problems come up. Dwight Edit: By the way I use DC if real high end, or on any trade with someone I haven't dealt with before, other than that only if my gut says to (but then if my gut talking to me then I'm probably not trading with them anyway).

I do not think a rule would be implemented as that is too restrictive and DC is not foolproof as proven by ebay/paypal. Recently there have been scams on ebay where you win an auction and the guy sends and empty envelope with DC. Ebay/paypal was siding with those sellers as they had DC #s showing the item as delivered, but the package was empty. Not sure if this is still occuring, but this is one way that dc was proven ineffective.
In addition, for some members if they lose the $30 it is not a big deal and they can find replacements, so they would rather not use DC, in those cases it usually is not failed, but completed with replacements.
For others it is something that should be thought about before sending a large $ amount in cards to another member. For $0.75 or less if using paypal it is well worth the convenience, but again it does not guarantee the package will not be lost. However, they will be able to tell you where it was last based on the tracking and might be able to find the package.
My personal rule is to use it for trades over $20-30 depending on who I am sending to or if I can replace the cards, and sometimes on new member trades.

I've never had trouble sending a package without DC.
In fact, I've only had one package lost in the mail, and it was because I screwed up the zip code on the actual package.
