Hi and welcome danifish. SmartCanucks (SC) is a friendly place.

People post their wishlists and tradelists in this Coupons to Trade thread (and then edit and reuse the same post as they update them).

You can see there's a variety of ways to organize and post them.

The amount, coupon description and expiry date are the most important.

Some people post their wishlist / tradelist on their Profile page, others just have a link pointing to their post in the thread mentioned above.

Everyone has a trade rating beside their name when they post. It looks like this:

Join Date: Jan 2011
Location: London
Trade Rating: 0
Posts: 1

If you click 0 it'll take you to the rating page and you'll see you have none yet of course. If you click on mine -- you can see how I was rated - positive, neutral, negative and comments.

You need to build up a positive rating by promptly sending what you agreed to with another person.

When you're brand new and have no rating, some traders will ask you to send your coupons first before they do. Don't be offended by this. Occasionally a newbie who has no track record signs up just to do trades and rip off coupons. So some traders are cautious and will ask for this from newbies. Others will just trade.



You can also ask to be adopted -- a great thing to do when you're new -- you'll get a mentor who can help you out.
