The below steps are the only way to stay safe during trades/swaps:
- Agree a fair value for the items you’re swapping. It should be an amount that you would feel comfortable accepting if you were selling the item instead of swapping. This will be the sum covered by Seller and Buyer Protection
- Both you and the ‘swapper’ list your items to swap for the same price. Create a listing just as if you are going to sell your items, and set the price you agreed
- Buy each other's items using the ‘Buy’ button. Since you’ve both listed your items at the same price, it’s almost like you’re swapping money. Your transaction is now registered in our system and is covered by our Protection Programmes
- Bid farewell to your item and send your swap off in the post. Send your item by tracked delivery and obtain proof of postage
