I generally wait a week. Most trades I initiate are with people who had just posted in a trade thread or bumped their own trade thread, so I figure a week's generous enough--if you don't want trades Right Now, don't post Right Now! The week leeway is just in case they lost connection or otherwise were pulled AFK, or are using the FTT (I've been on the other side of a trade in all three situations so I understand), and I don't like keeping pets tied up much longer than that without at least some communication... especially during events where I'm trying to help THEM out by giving them a dupe of mine that they asked for.
If someone sends me a trade and I don't want to accept it right away, I typically message them to let them know the situation so they don't think I'm going to leave it there to rot. I figure that if something would annoy me, it would annoy someone else, so I want to be courteous.
