Does someone understand this?

Hi,

I just had someone cancel a swap on me, because I didn't understand what he/she wanted. We both added coins to the swap (I selected 10, he/she selected 30) and after I sent two overview pictures, I got this message:

"Hello, please select all individual coins I can't identify everything in the photo"

So I made close-ups of every coin (60 photos) and sent it. I got this message in return:

"Hello , I can not validate the swap if you not maks the individual request for each coins"

I still didn't understand, so I sent this: "I'm very sorry, but I still don't understand. Perhaps if you tell me in French what you mean? :)"

The response was: "La demande doit être faite comme pour les 10 pièces déjà demandées"

I still didn't understand after translating it to Dutch, so I wondered if it had something to do with the two coins that he/she didn't select in their own list. Perhaps those were reserved and I needed to select others? After I asked that, the swap was canceled with the message "Hello , it is a dialogue of the deaf , I give up"

Can someone explain to me what I'm missing here?

Thanks!

Sorry, I don't understand either what he means.
Perhaps s/he thought the first picture you sent were the 10 coins you selected? Just guessing as I'm scratching my head too.
I sent pictures of the 30 coins he/she selected...

He/she just was not able to identify and link the coin from pictures with the coins from swap list.

​You’re kidding, right? It’s not rocket science...

​It is not rocket science for us, but that what he/she meant. Don't worry, some people are just complicated...
Ok, thanks :)

did you turn on the "Me offer" checkboxes for your 30 coins?

​Absolutely!

I think he was expecting you to make offer in this way:
" I request your 1st coin for the 1st ~ 3rd coin of mine,
I request your 2nd coin 2 for the 4th coin of mine,
....
I request your 10th coin for the 29th ~ 30th coin of mine."
so he can only accept sub offers which he thinks profitable

​That would make sense, but I'd never guessed that from the cryptic messages I got :)
