I just wanted to let everyone know that today we have made public our new transaction manager. We feel like this transaction manager will be very easy to understand, and simple to use. Since it is new we ask that you please report any problems you have with the way the transaction manager works to myself or any member of the TCZ Staff.
I also wanted to share a simple written tutorial to try to explain how to create, and complete, a transaction using TCZ's Transaction Manager.
The first thing to do is to create a transaction with your trading partner, or have them create the transaction with you. You can find the link in both the member's profile, as well as in the member card. Here is a look at the member card. You'll notice that there is now a "Create Transaction" link. We have also added a "Create Transaction" link in the member profile. Here is a look at both locations.
Now here is a screenshot of what the transaction form looks like. Simply fill out all of the options on that form and, once again, click "Create Transaction". The additional notes input is optional.
If someone creates a transaction with you, you will receive a PM with a link to the transaction thread. If you a view a transaction thread that is waiting on action from you it will say so in red, bold letters, followed by a link, or links, for you to choose from. If the transaction isn't confirmed yet, you will be given links to either confirm or decline the transaction.
If you cancel the transaction, the thread is simply removed along with any records of that transaction.
If you confirm the transaction, then an update is posted in the transaction thread and the action links change to indicate that feedback is needed from you. Here is what the thread will look like after it is confirmed.
Once you click on the link to leave feedback for a transaction, you will be presented with a simple form for adding feedback.
Just like everything else involving transactions, the feedback updates will also be added to the transaction thread, including what kind of feedback was left and the feedback comment that was entered.
Finally, once both members have left feedback for a transaction it is automatically closed out and moved to the "Completed Transactions" forum.
I hope this tutorial is easy to understand so that your next transaction with this new system can be a flawless one. If do have any questions feel free to PM me, or any other member of the TCZ Staff, at any time.
