What is Trading and How do I do it? Instead of giving money for items, you trade your items for something you would like from another trading partner.
First, you find something you are interested in and email the person asking if they would like to trade with you and tell them what you are interested in from their store.
Second, you wait for them to reply yes or no. If you are going to say no, please be polite and let the person know that you are unable to trade because you can't use any of their items or say sorry, I just can't trade this time or something else that is nice.
Third, if they say yes, you try to come as close as possible to the dollar amount of the item being traded including shipping cost.
Fourth, you and your trading partner agree to do the trade, then you both check out as if you are purchasing the item but, stop at the part where you would normally make your payment. Once both of you have checked out, then you mark the item they traded paid and they will do the same for you.
Fifth, you both ship your items to each other right away.
It does count as a sale and you should leave kudos after the item arrives and your trading partner will do the same.
