In the GTS, the trades that you set up are often quickly buried by trades set up by other users. So, to get your trades to be noticed by other users (I assume most users just check the first page of trades), you would have to cancel your trades and set them up again. But that gets really tiring to do when you have a lot of trades set up.

So here's the suggestion: in the "Your trades" section, there should be a "renew" button below the "cancel" button. The "renew" button does exactly what it implies: it renews the trade you set up with the Pokemon. This way you don't have to go through the whole ordeal of canceling the trade and setting it up again.

Thoughts from other user(s):

Quote from NavusoSupport from me but for a different reason.
After a trade has been in the GTS for a while, it'll cancel out.
I have pokemon holding items in the GTS for payment for art when it's done.

It takes time for art, so having the renew option to be able to push off the removal for another month or two would be nice so that I don't have to set it back up when it expires so that it stays in the GTS for the other user.

Quote from AoToraI think that this is a cool idea that should be implemented- I tend to put out a ton of my extra mons for free and it usually takes ages to take leftovers out and set them all up again the next day so i would love to see this happen

Quote from Miss-XIt's a good idea, though to prevent users from spamming renewals, there ought to be a certain amount of time that passes before a user can renew the trade.

Quote from PopplioThis would we very helpful, i would totally like to see this happening. This would make it way easier for the 'Give a shiny, get a shiny!' thread, so you could make it easier for the user who shall get the shiny.

So support or no support? Post your opinion! x3

Support. For about 1 month, I had two breeding pairs in the GTS for my sister. Of course, she didn't look and so I waited for a while. I gave up on it and took the trades down.

There's nothing more beautiful than the rain.

I think this is a cool idea!
In addition to your idea I thought maybe you can also type in a certain users name when you set up trades and it pops up in their new "Referred trades" section.

Thanks for the support!
Your suggestion should go into a separate suggestion though, since that is different from what I am suggesting. ^^'

I like this idea, but agree with the time limit, there's enough spamming of the GTS as it is with some users putting up the same trades every hour or 2. I'd hate to trawl through 2-3 pages of easy "free" pokies to see other trades - only to find in 2 hours they are all back at the top to trawl through again (I don't know why the users don't just put them on the AH for 1 PD instead of using the GTS).

The main reason I like it is because of the all the attempted scams, users offering igglybuffs and cleffas on your legendaries in the hope you'll click the wrong button. I'd like to be able to add the user to the block list and then simply renew the trade to get rid of all the horrible offers. I know a "refuse offer" button would help me more there, but it's still frustrating having to take trades down completely and then put them up again because people can't read/try to scam/live in Stupidsville
