I believe I communicated my message pretty clearly about not wanting to trade my NFT pets, but people keep sending me offers anyway. I’m wondering if what I did was obvious enough to get the point across. Maybe I need to be more direct about it? Has anyone else dealt with this issue where traders just ignore your signals that items aren’t for sale? I’m getting tired of constantly declining these requests and want to know if there’s a better way to handle this situation. What has worked for other collectors in similar circumstances?
Most platforms allow you to adjust privacy settings to reduce unwanted trade requests significantly. In my case, I set my collection to private and only accept offers from users I follow, which decreased spam by about 90%. The requests I receive now come from genuine collectors who actually check my profile. You might also consider adjusting your online activity; bots often target active users, so staying offline during busy trading hours can help. Additionally, if your platform has the option for auto-decline messages, consider setting one up that clearly states you are not trading. This can save time and clarify your stance for anyone who might be confused.
honestly, some traders just don’t get it no matter how clear u are. I’ve had luck putting “NOT TRADING” in caps in my profile bio, but u’ll still get random offers. just block the persistent ones.
What exactly did you do to show you weren’t trading? I’m curious because I’ve seen people try subtle hints that traders completely miss. Did you change your username or add something to your display name?
Most traders probably mass-send offers to anyone with decent collections without reading profiles or checking if people actually want to trade. It’s annoying but pretty common.
Can you temporarily hide your collection visibility? Or set trades to friends only? There might be platform features that could help.
Are these mostly lowball offers or decent trades? That’ll tell you if they’re spam-traders or actually think your stuff’s available. How do you usually respond when declining?
