The following is a list of Trading Etiquette and Guidelines that should be used when trading on WTE Freecycle/Swaps board. These are meant to help decrease your chances of being the victim of a scam!!!
•If/when you are interested in items that someone has for trade be sure to respond to the actual thread on WTE Freecycle/Swaps board even if they left their email and you have already responded to them through email. Simply respond with YHEM/YGEM. This allows the person to verify your screenname (and prevents scammers from trying to fraudulently use someone’s screenname by claiming that they are “insert screenname here” in their email.)
•It is strongly encouraged to provide both your screenname and a link to your feedback when contacting someone about a trade.
•ALWAYS check the feedback board before initiating any trades!! This helps to protect you from getting scammed.
•If you are trading with someone who does not have any feedback, you should ask them to send their end first until they can establish at least five good feedback responses.
•You should always leave feedback for anyone you have had a successful trade with, even if you have already traded with them multiple times before. This will help to keep all feedback current.
•It is considered polite to inform people if/when you receive your end of the trade! This is also a good time to remind them to leave you feedback for the trade
