Trade Guidelines

[Slaney]

I'm just starting to looking into trading coupons. I get ridiculous amounts & I usually throw out the ones I know I won't use. I saw in my User CP a thing about what you have & want but then it asks for PayPal info, what is that about? I see you're not allowed to sell coupons here :/ I'm confused...

Hello everyone. New to this site and did a trade but I don't know how or where to rate my trade. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone. New to this site and did a trade but I don't know how or where to rate my trade. Any help would be appreciated.

On the side panel within the message the other trader sent you (I'm assuming you sent private messages to each other) there would be the person's avatar and also the blue trade rating. Click on this trade rating.

This will take you to the users itrader page. There in bold blue writing it says "submit feedback for 'username here'".

If you click this it will take you to the page where you submit your feedback. You would put in that you were the "trader", whether the experience was postive or negative, and also a short blurb about the trade (these show up on the person's trade page for other users to see so you could put in something about the quality of the trade, the speed you got the trade, if there were extras, etc)

Then there's a text box underneath that you can write a personal message to the trader that only they can see if you so desire.

then click "submit" and you're done

ta-da!

hope that helps

I think you are referring to the coupon trading list form - don't fill that out if you don't want to. I think it actually is referring to the fact that SC will send you money if you posts a certain number of times. It does not have to do with paying for coupons.

Great post! Glad there are guidelines to help people from getting ripped off (or at least trying which is better than nothing)

Edited first post. A user seems to think its ok to scam newbies as long as they agree. Sigh.

Once I have put my list of coupons for trade and my wishlist in my profile, does it automatically appear in the Coupon trading section or is there somewhere else I have to put my lists as well?

No it doesn't. You would need to create a thread in the "coupon trading" area, usually putting a few of the choice coupons in the title and indicating if you have them "FT" (for trade) or "LF" (looking for) and then in the body of that first thread message you can copy and paste your lists.

Then as you make trades or want to add things you can go back to this post and edit it to make the necessary changes (adding coupons you are now wanting, deleting those you no longer have or which you no longer want on your wish list, etc).

You are also allowed to "bump" (reply to your own thread in order to move it up to keep it on the front trade page) ONCE a day. Bumping more than once a day will bother people and it doesn't make it fair to others who also are posting threads with their lists.

Hope that helps!
