Is there a standard of when people typically leave Refs after a trade? I usually respond right away once the transaction is complete. I had two unconfirmed Refs expire on me and was just curious before I reached out to the other parties again.

Some people respond, some don't. I usually re-submit the reference and if they still don't respond I give up.

There's no rule saying you have to respond to a ref check. It sucks sometimes when you fill one out for them and they don't take action, but that's just the way it is.I would avoid sending a request more than 2x. You might not like the ref you get if you're too persistent. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

I certainly don't want to be a pest but it is very annoying when people don't respond. Especially when they initiate the request by emailing me not to forget to do it... haha.

sometimes the ref request can go to someone's spam box. I've had them come through and one just randomly get filtered before. A polite email isn't out of order if the first one bounces. If there is no reply from a second request and an email, cut your losses and move on. I've gotten to the point where I don't ask for a ref check unless the other person does. If I don't have enough refs for someone on MOTL to send first to me when I want them to, I'll just go somewhere else. Its not a huge deal.

I've politely asked the person I've traded with for the ref and it was fine.. Must have gone to their spam folder.

Upon completion of a few recent trades the other persons' ref check has gone right to my "junk" in my email account. I have since figured this out, and all refs have been accounted for. It's most likely in their junk folder.
