HOW IT WORKS

JF Cards allows you to shop without money

Simply list your own things that you are putting up for sale, then begin shopping by offering them as payment for other people's things

Trades are matched in two different ways: direct trades between two people and group exchanges between multiple people

Any individual offer that is made for something may be accepted by its owner, creating a direct trade between those two people

Group exchanges are possible when there is any combination of people who have things that each other want, but none of them are direct matches between two people

Each time any offer is made, JF Cards's automatic trade matching process goes through all other offers and finds any possible group exchange combinations

Check out the Help Shopping and Help Trading pages for complete details of the following examples

The first user in the examples is named "buckybadger" and he is shopping for Wisconsin Badgers items. He finds two items and makes offers using his own Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewer items

The second user is named "fearthedeer" and he is shopping for Milwaukee Bucks items. He is also the owner of the two Wisconsin Badgers items

"fearthedeer" can see the offers that "buckybadger" has made for his items. He accepts the Milwaukee Bucks offer on his first item, creating a direct trade between "buckybadger" and himself. He gets the Bucks item from "buckybadger" while giving his first Badgers item in return

"fearthedeer" does not accept the Milwaukee Brewers item that was offered to him by "buckybadger" for his second Badgers item. Instead he shops for Milwaukee Bucks items, finds one that he wants, and makes an offer using his second Badgers item

The Milwaukee Bucks item that "fearthedeer" is shopping for, belongs to a third user, named "brewcrew". He is shopping for Milwaukee Brewers items, finds the Brewers item that "buckybadger" had offered to "fearthedeer" and offers his Bucks item to get it

This offer by "brewcrew" results in a possible group exchange combination. He gets the Brewer item from "buckybadger" while giving his Bucks item to "fearthedeer", "fearthedeer" gets the Bucks item from "brewcrew" while giving his Badgers items to "buckybadger", and "buckybadger" gets the Badgers item from "feerthedeer" while giving his Brewers item to "brewcrew"
