How do I keep track of my trades?
To keep track of your trades you may use the 'My trades' section of your account. This is also the place to update the status of your trades.
How do I know I can trust a person I'm trading with?
It is up to you to decide if you would like to trade with somebody. You may get an idea of whether or not you want to trade with someone based on their rating and their communications with you or possibly with other people on the forums. Unfortunately there is not much I can do personally to guarantee that somebody is going to stick to the deal you've made with them. What you can do to help is let other users know about your experience by using the rating form. You may also contact me and I will do whatever I can to help resolve any problems.
