Ways to make trading easier for all of us

[silvah]

Here are my quickie suggestions:

• If you post a request to trade, link to the offers on the wiki so that people can see them easily
• If the offers for that site are not on the wiki, please add them and then link! (If you don't have priveleges to access the wiki, post the offers in the updates needed to the wiki thread in the Lounge.)
• Always try and list what sites you most want greens for, what sites you've already done and ones you're willing to do. Best of all put these in your sig.

Sorry if this has been said before but I've noticed that loads of people still don't bother to list offers when they request trades.

Anybody got any other pet trading peeves? (Apart from the obvious, being scammed...)

Thanks Silvah, great ideas. Lots of our users already do this, but I agree, it's very useful if someone at least states what they CAN'T do, otherwise it's just post after post of "can you do ipods.freepay".... "can you do itemsforyou" etc. If everybody did these simple things, trading threads would be much more efficient!

Thanks for you support, Amanda, and - woo - sticky status!

Also, I think if more people added their details to the freshly made Trading Matrix (see below) it would help us sort out who can trade with whom a lot more efficiently. If you can't add your details to the matrix, I promise to do it for you.

How it works:

1. Click on the Trading matrix link
2. Find the network you want greens for in the table
3. Look down the column to see which users haven't got an X in that column
4. PM them to see if they're interested
5. Make your intentions public in the forum STRAIGHT away

There you go. I'd love more people to take advantage of this, otherwise all my hard work will have been wasted! (Took me about 3 or 4 hours...)

Hi Silvah,
It's too complicated! I can't add myself to the list without reading through loads of different threads to understand how to do it??????

[silvah]

Don't worry mate. I'll add you in. Just PM me with the sites you've done.

I blame the wiki software...
