This would be a problem but if there are multiple complaints from or about someone then at least it would be easier to see that there is a problem. I apologize beforehand for my ignorance as I have never been involved in a formal exchange, but how is this issue (not receiving seeds but the sender says they sent them) normally handled in exchanges? It seems to me that the same thing can happen whether it's for [seedpackets], a "seeds for acorns", or just a normal trade.
Trading for acorns is a good idea but, right now as far as I know, there really isn't any system set up to locate who is willing to do so other than randomly going through lists and contacting a member to see if they would be willing - or am I missing something (I still am learning to navigate this wonderful site)??
