Trade Guidelines

Each member who does a trade is to use there common sense, if something doesn't seem right don't do the trade.

The terms and conditions of each individual trade are up to the parties involved. (Obviously this statement means within reason. Offering $25 of coupons for $10 isn't a fair trade at all)

Remember to use the rating system after a trade.

Until a new member is established it may be a good idea to recieve the trade first before you do your part, please let the new member know this before the trade, so their not expecting there envie right away.

For new members, your best bet is to do a few small trades to obtain positive feedback to gain the confidence of more seasoned members and to show your truely genuine in your intentions. If someone comes on with 40 FPC's mods generally try to safeguard this as it seems to be a scam, or too good to be true.

Mods use there discretion to determine if something looks to be a scam, or recieves a reported trade. Although mods can't weed them all out they do try their best.

Remember that the report button is there for a reason, pleases report any problems you see.

Don't forget Schick pins, and Annabelle pins ARE NOT FOR TRADE there is proper threads to share your pins for those in the appropriate freebie section.

Smart Canucks Inc, Admins and Mods are not responsible for the outcomes from trades, nor will they be held responsible.

Paypal, money, or cheques are not allowed to be accepted as trades. Ie paypal me 5$ for this 10$ olay coupon, or send cash. All money transfers with the exception of gift cards are not allowed.

Canadian tire money is still acceptable.

Please trade safely and remember the report button :)

The trading section is getting busier and busier and there are some things that have been brought to the mods attention, thus this post.

Smart Canucks Inc. is not responsible for your trades and does not offer any kind of guarantees or warranties on trading. Smart Canucks Inc. cannot be held liable or responsible for any losses or damages that result from trading.

Furthermore, Smart Canucks Inc. does not endorse the trading of Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum Points. Please read the Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum Points Terms and Conditions more details.

Good advice for everyone. Thanks.

Good, thanks!

great post!

Sally this is an awesome post! Thanks so much! :sweet:
A much deserved thumbs up!!

Thank you for the reminder. As always, when on the internet, one should use their own judgement (feedbacks, posts + their content, reputation pts, etc.)

Thanks for such a great post!

I've been trying to find out how to post a trade rating if one hasn't already been posted for me and I can't figure out how or anything telling me how to. Help please?

Being a new member on Smart Canucks, that information was extremely helpful. Thank you very much for that. I look forward to trading with people soon.

Thanks for the info.

I'm just starting on trades, so this info was welcome. However, gift cards still feel too much like money to me!

This info is helpful, thank you. I would like to start trading, but I'm afraid people look at my rating (0) & will refuse to trade with me. Any tips to help out a newbie? Thanks in advance.

A good idea would be to offer to mail your end of the trade first. :-)

snemum, you can check my list... or send me some of your wishes, I will trade with you!

We all started at (0) sometime or another :P

Thanks for the help. Do you know where I might find out more? I don't even know how to see coupons for trade.

Bumping this great thread.

I think it would be very helpful if you could make a sticky for trade standards, roughly. I know that traders can choose whatever they want but some times its kind of hard to evaluate. I mean how many stamps, sdm points, FPC, and regular coupons are worth.

Me, too. I need help with this.

To give someone a trade rating, click on the underlined number next to their trade rating, underneath their name. In my case, it would be 23, that means I have 23 trade ratings in total so far. See where it says join date, location, trade rating, cash back and so on? Then it will direct you to their trade ratings.

From there, click on "submit ratings for [person's name here]". Then on that page fill in the required fields, this being who you were (trade, conductor etc), your overall experience (positive, negative or neutral), and a short comment (ex your trade was awesome, fast, would trade again etc), then in the body text underneath you have to put in something for additional comments.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the tip ! I did it. :-)

why do people votes down? do they do it because they don't like the post i am just asking because someone gave me a a vote and my post says -1 down and i think if you don't like what i am asking for in my trade post there is no reason to do that

Great post. I am still getting to know SC so this trading thing is new to me as well as some of the terminology (e.g. B1G1). I just added my first trade & wish list to my profile :) Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. Have a great day everyone.

I notice a lot of people give more trade ratings than are given. Everyone should give a trade rating once they receive the trade. And when the other person gets their side as well. It gives you piece of mind that the person got their end of the trade fine, since most people will not email you to say "thanks for the trade" the trade rating system does this for you.

I noticed today, and before too, but I thought I would bring it up today. If you go into your private messages, there is a underlined part that right at the top (before your messages) that reads "You have 27 confirmed and 4 unconfirmed private message receipts.".. it will be different for each person. When you click on that,it shows you your trade ratings that have/haven't been confirmed. What does it mean if it hasn't been confirmed? has the person not read it? For me, they go back as far as May. I checked and I have no trade ratings from these people, but I gave them trade ratings... I have messaged a couple of them hoping they would now, but they probably won't remember what I sent them.

In a person's trade ratings, you can click on the one that you wrote, it would be helpful to then see their rating for you underneath there, or if there isn't one, a message that you can trade this person. I think this would really help trade ratings useability on here.

Personaly, I want with gift card and stamps at the beginning.

But offering to send first is an excellent idea :).

I recently traded with someone who hadn't traded before, I just sent out her end last night, she didn't have much to trade with me, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt, hopefully it goes well. We all have to start somewhere.

Ty :)

Hi! When trading CT money for coupon, do I trade dollar amount of the coups for the CT money? Or is there an equivalent value?

No it's not equal value... well it never has been when I've done it! However it's been awhile since I have and was wondering the same thing this morning.... I wonder what others think?!

Thanks for the tips. I am a newbee trying to save a buck by trading coupons I don't use for ones that I will. Hopefully I will save a bundle and so will my trade partners.

Happy shopping

Thanks for the info!
