There has been a huge increase in the number of new people looking to trade, especially in return for cash.

This is great news for everyone, we get the referrals we need and you guys get our money, but alot of you are asking for us to clarify the rules or how these sites work, which is fine, but this may make it easier for not only us, but yourselves also.

Please take the time to read these important threads. Trust me, they're not the usual bumf on rules etc. They will not only make things go smoother for all of us, but protect you against scammers and cut down on some confusion.

And also, to the new users, please don't initiate trades with people before you even speak with them.

Also: The trade module is in the upper right hand corner (named "Trades"). Check it out and get used to it.

Make sure you update it with pertaining information, such as what email you used to sign up, your status, etc.

some other good pointers.
always confirm a trade if you want to do it
always do a trade thru the trading module even if it is a non-credit card site that you will not get TR for

I've not referenced this topic in my trade thread Smile

Fitz · Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2006 12:52 pm Post subject:

I'm totally new here and am confused about the following:

Once you accept a trade, go to a site, sign up and complete an offer, are you then restricted from doing another trade and offer on that same site?

In other words are you limited to completing only one referral per site?

I ask this because last night I signed up on a site and completed a trade. Today, somebody sent me a different link but for the same site that I had already joined. Since I was already a member, I backed off because I didn't know what to do.

As I said, I'm totally new to all this so, if the questions sounds dumb, that's why.

Aurelius · Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2006 1:06 pm Post subject:

Fitz, you're right on the money there. You can only sign up for each site once and you can only do each offer once. If you break either of these rules, you'll most likely go on hold and your referral won't count for the other person and you wouldn't be allowed to complete the site (or any other sites on that network). If you have any other questions, feel free to ask because it's better to know for sure rather than take chances. Good luck!

Two parts that new people should read if nothing else. Would help make everyone's experience here much more pleasant. Thanks!

Tholek · Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2006 3:12 pm Post subject:

Yes, please be careful replying to topics. Use quick reply when you can. If clicking the "post reply" button, make sure you don't hit "new topic". I believe a lot of new threads get started that way by accident.

thatmama · Posted: Sat Dec 30, 2006 6:39 pm Post subject:

Wow. I thought I read a lot before initiating trades, but I had only read 60% of the threads you listed and had already missed 60% of the suggestions that followed in the replies! Embarassed

I heard about your site through a link offered by a survey club - others may have as well. Anyhoo, I've caught up on my reading and tweaked a few things, and I appreciate the help!

So this is the new year.
And I don't feel any different.
The clanking of crystal
Explosions off in the distance (in the distance).

So this is the new year
And I have no resolutions
For self assigned penance
For problems with easy solutions

So everybody put your best suit or dress on
Let's make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
As thirty dialogs bleed into one

I wish the world was flat like the old days
Then i could travel just by folding a map
No more airplanes, or speed trains, or freeways
There'd be no distance that could hold us back.

There'd be no distance that could hold us back.

So this is the new year.

No, we're not.

Two members have been banned because they can't read the rules:

http://forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=50577
http://forum.freeipodguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=50592

You'd be wise to do so now before the same happens to you.

and yet, you still think we're joking...

manOFice · Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2007 6:11 am Post subject:

People....remember noobs trading with noobs won't count as TR!!!

ilanbg · Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2007 12:40 pm Post subject:

Another suggestion to noobs: When responding to PMs, quote the message before it. When one deals with dozens of PMs a day, it becomes hard to remember why one PMed you in the first place.

And to TSJ: Maybe copy all the good suggestions in this post to the OP?
