Quick flow

How trading works

01Browse listings

Search items, hot posts, looking-for posts, free posts, or a user's store until you find a trade worth opening.

02Check the post

Read whether the trader wants caps, item trades, wishlist offers, vendor visits, or a make-me-an-offer conversation.

03Start the room

Start Trade creates a trade room with chat, negotiation, safety controls, and a record of what was agreed.

04Negotiate clearly

Agree the item, caps, quantity, and any extra details inside the room so there is a clear trade trail.

05Lock & reveal

When both sides are happy, lock the trade and reveal your platform handle when you are ready to meet in-game.

06Complete & review

The trade owner completes the room after the in-game exchange, then both traders can leave feedback.
