6.  Complete a Trade

-   -   Trading is FREE! Once an offer is accepted, you can trade on your own or use our optional ESCROW SYSTEM, which provides security when not trading in-person (for example, by shipping your items). 

7.  ESCROW (optional)

-   -   Our optional escrow system serves as insurance when trading and guarantees that you either get the other user's item or get paid for your item. 

-    -  If both sides of a trade want security, each user will start the trade with a temporary "purchase" of the other user's item.  This payment will be "frozen" in an escrow account.  The amount placed in escrow is determined by the users.  You are advised to ship your item with a trackable method.

-   -   If both users confirm receipt of the other user's item (within the "my trades" section of their profile), then each user gets back the money they placed in escrow, and the trade is complete.

-   -   If only one user receives an item and the other does not, then the user who never received an item in return gets the other user's money from escrow, and also gets back their own escrow payment.  The trade basically becomes a sale.

       -   -   EXAMPLE:  Users A & B agree to a trade and agree to use escrow.  Both items have values of $50, so both users place $50  in escrow.  User A ships their item to User B, and User B receives it.  User  A then gets their escrow payment returned. However, User A never receives User B's item (for example, User B never sent it), and User B is unable to provide a tracking number - in that case, User B's escrow payment is released to User A in exchange for the item that User A sent to User B.  The result is that User B purchased the item from User A, and no party loses out in the deal (User B got User A's item, and User A got paid for it)

-   -   If you choose to use the Escrow feature, there is a small fee charged against the amount of money you placed in escrow.  The fee schedule can be found at the bottom of the page
