TRADING

In the main menu is a section labeled "Trades"

Click on the "Offers for My Items" link within this main menu section to view a list of all of your items that currently have any active offers made for them by other people

Here we can see the Wisconsin Badgers bar stool and football helmet shop items that sample user "buckybadger" made offers for in the Help Shopping page

In this example, both of these Badgers items belong to another sample user named "fearthedeer", who is shopping for Milwaukee Bucks items

To view the details for an item of yours listed on the "Offers for My Items" page, click the "View Offers" button on the far right side of the item

You will be taken to the detail page that shows your item along with a list of the items that other people have currently offered for your item

Here we can see the Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers items that "buckybadger" has offered for the Badgers bar stool

Each item will have displayed its Picture, its Item Title, the date that it was offered, and its Description

To accept an offer for any of the items, and create an available trade, click the "Accept Offer" button on the far right side of the item

Once you accept an offer for one of your items, you will be taken to the "Available Trade" detail page

The "Available Trade" detail page first shows the item that you have accepted along with your item

Next it shows some details of the trade, including Your Status, the Matched Date, Number of Users Total, Number of Users Agreed, and Trade Status

Your Status will be "Agreed" because you accepted the offer

If you change your mind and no longer want to make the trade, click on the "Cancel Agreement" button to the right of Your Status

The Number of Users Total in this trade is two, a direct trade between the users in this example

The Number of Users Agreed is one, you because you accepted the offer for this trade

The Trade Status will be "Available" because the trade has been matched but not every user has agreed to it yet

When a trade is first matched it will have status "Available" until all of the users agree to the trade

Next this page shows the Trade Users that will be involved, along with the items that they will be getting and giving, and their User Status

Our sample user "fearthedeer" is listed first and we can see he will get the Bucks sign from "buckybadger", he will give his Badgers bar stool to "buckybadger" and he has Agreed to the trade

The other user "buckybadger" is listed next and we can see he will get the Badgers bar stool from "fearthedeer", he will give his Bucks sign to "fearthedeer" and his User Status is "Available" because he has not yet Agreed to the trade

Finally the page shows a "Chat" area that we will use later

Going back to the "Offers for My Items" page in this example, "fearthedeer" clicks the "View Offers" button for his Badgers football helmet

Here we can see the Milwaukee Brewers item that "buckybadger" has offered for the Badgers football helmet

This offer will not be accepted because "fearthedeer" is shopping for Milwaukee Bucks items

Next our sample user "fearthedeer" goes to the "Shop for Items" page and enters a search for "bucks"

He finds a Milwaukee Bucks basketball and clicks the "+" button

Now on the shop item detail page, he can see his Wisconsin Badgers football helmet in his list of items to offer

He offers his Badgers football helmet and is taken to the detail page that shows the Milwaukee Bucks basketball shop item along with the helmet that he has offered

In this example, the Milwaukee Bucks basketball belongs to another sample user named "brewcrew", who is shopping for Milwaukee Brewers items

This offer will not be accepted by "brewcrew" since he is shopping for Milwaukee Brewers items

Next our sample user "brewcrew" goes to the "Shop for Items" page and enters a search for "brewers"

He finds the Milwaukee Brewers item from earlier in our example and clicks the "+" button

Now on the shop item detail page, he can see the Milwaukee Brewers item that belongs to our other sample user "buckybadger" from earlier

This is the same Brewers item that "buckybadger" has offered for the Wisconsin Badgers football helmet that belongs to "fearthedeer"

He can also see his Milwaukee Bucks basketball in his list of items to offer

He offers his Milwaukee Bucks basketball and is taken to the detail page that shows the Brewers shop item along with the basketball that he has offered

The detail page shows the Brewers shop item along with the basketball that he has offered

It also shows an "Available Trade" underneath the basketball that he has offered

This "Available Trade" is a combination that JF Cards's trade matching process has found for a group exchange, based on the offers of our three sample users

When a trade is first matched it will have status "Available" until all of the users agree to the trade

Next it shows some details of the trade, including the Matched Date, Number of Users Total, Number of Users Agreed, and Updated Date

The trade Updated Date will be reset any time one of the Trade Users agrees to the trade or cancels their agreement
