Unfinished trades

I use trades to balance my resources and unless I am missing something there is a huge problem with trades.

I have found several deals in trades that I sent a request for that have not been accepted or declined. But my goods have been taken out of my warehouse, so I cannot access them. Yet there does not seem to be any mechanic that cancels old trades after a set amount of time, nor can I see or cancel my trade requests.

There needs to be a way to see your outstanding trade request and cancel them after a certain time.

I heard on chat the other day that they automatically decline after 7 or 12 hours. But I agree really they should clear after 20 minutes (i.e. double the length of time they're available).

Automatic decline after 8 hours. There is a problem if people don't update their Trade list and send for trades that are hours out of date. Other people only want to receive one trade and then go off line or on adventures oblivious to any more trades that come in. I don't have many gold coins, but I get really annoyed when 200+ are tied up for 8 hours in this way.
