A way to tell who we've had transactions with, and who we haven't
So just recently, I was in a transaction with someone, and asked him "i'm not too sure if we've ever done a transaction with eachother or not, I know we've talked about making a deal, but unsure if we've done so or not", and which he couldn't recall if we did either.
I was wondering if it would be simple to implement a certain way to tell if you've done a transaction with somebody or not, maybe by putting some sort of icon next to their name when you go onto their profile page?
I could also just be a dummy too, and it could be simple for me to tell, rather than going through all my transactions to see it or not.

you know if the person's name had a red dot next to their name in your inbox, you'd be able to find the guy you were making a transaction with, once it's made he'd get a dot.
Why does it matter? I know your count only goes up with new "traders" but shouldn't you always set up a request...just in case something goes downhill you can still leave the appropriate feedback. I have traded with my best of friends multiple times and always set up a trans request...
I always do Beni, it would just be nice to know, that's all.

Eh, not everyone is OCD. I've done at least 20-30 transactions and haven't bothered to make feedback for them. If the buyer has bought from me several times before and doesn't ask, I won't set it up.

Ah, for informational purposes only...I can see that...especially when you hare in the triple digits.
I forget who I have done transactions with and I am barely at 40...

But then again, there is always a risk.

Yeah, I suppose so, but at some point it doesn't really matter. Like I'm at 189 unique and 271 total now. Would someone feel any different about me if I was at 189 unique and 300 total? I would hope not.
Sometimes you honestly just forget, especially if you have a large FS thread and dozens and dozens of PMs. I will always 100% honor a buyer's request for a transaction. But if the buyer doesn't ask, and he's bought from me 4 or 5 separate times already... yeah no big deal.
I agree that it's not really a necessary addition, but it could be a real quick way to see how many times you've done a transaction with someone.

Well I have 749 total and 400 unique and I would say there is probably 150 transactions I did not record with people I have bought from multiple times.
on the op I just keep all the pms saved forever so I can just scroll down and see if we have done one before
BTW, saving PM's forever may eventually be a thing of the past. We have a few million PMs and there's a very good chance we'll be creating export files of older messages to free up the database.

Yeah, I figured it was only a matter of time. No other site does this and PMs grow exponentially as the user base increases.
As a workaround, maybe you could only save sent messages or only save received messages to save 50% of the file size. Every message has a sender and recipient, so saving every message for every user is redundant. That saves exactly two copies of every message...
Just an optimization idea, but I do agree that saving messages forever is probably not a good long term solution.
I just realized I have 2,609 PM messages saved up. Damn, I talk alot.
Oddly enough, I have 6,433 received and 5,751 sent. Yeah, I'd say saving all of the PMs is definitely a huge space issue.
I like this idea and have slated it for inclusion in the next update.
w00t! Thanks Dain!
