Sorry for the problems you are having. I'm am currently in the process of doing G4G and hope it goes well. Good Luck.

Patience is not my best point, but thats what it takes. If I don't green in a day or two, I will try another offer. And I do keep in touch with my trader. I know how you feel. I set up a trade three weeks ago, and have heard from them since. I cancelled the trade, since they had not even went to my site.

hope it get better for you so glad our trade went smooth

Just my 2 cents but thats why you dont do green for green and i dont care what others are gonna say about what i just said. The most problems that occur in trading seem to come from g4g trades thats why i never even attempted 1.Some can say they have done X numbers of g4g without any problems and all i can say is consider yourself lucky.

I agree with you. When I was a newbie, I did G4G and MAN,what a hassle! These days, with all the traders offering 100%+ payouts what's the point? You can now make even more cash by greening for someone AND you dont have to wait for them to green too, to get your money. Point is, I've stopped suggesting G4G to my refs. There's my 2¢.

I too have experienced sour G4G trades with only one sucessfull G4G out of 5 and the successfull one was with a newbie who totaly outshined the higher iTR traders with communcation as well as successfully completing the deal. The other 3 where higher iTR's and well lets say they are not around anymore under those user names as they have been banned for theft. So yes, I am not a big fan of
G4G's anymore either. Oh and not to mention, not getting the iTR for my success in the trade sucks too.
:-(

Sorry for venting but felt like I needed to add my two cents,

I have done a few g4g trades, all went very well. I picked my traders very carefully and was still VERY apprehensive about doing them, but I have to say that I was happy. I too try to green fast and it does get frustrating when people do not keep in contact. 2 of my g4g trades took longer than I would have liked, it happens, but I have no complaints because the trader kept in almost daily contact with me. I just think it is common courtesy to remain in contact with your traders throughout the trade.

When I first started trading and I started doing g4g at one point I had between 5-10 people that I was waiting on for green. I had already greened their sites. I made it a point to send them a friendly reminder pm every couple of days asking them if they were waiting for credit or filing an mcr or something. (If they didn't contact me for a couple of days of course.)

Just make sure you keep up with them. Keep in contact. If you get a really bad gut feeling ask the site if they have filed an mcr or if they even clicked on any offers at all.

Don't get discourage though. Just keep being careful about your traders and keep the messages positive and friendly. G4g is a great way to make more profit if you can do offers.

The problem is some people start and just dont finish, or they are waiting for credits to come through mcrs.
