6. how it works

(1) browsing trades

Both visitors and members are able to browse trades. You can search any Country, State (U.S.) or Province (Can.) or you can be more precise by using our Keyword Search. We also have a Map Location button at the top of each category.

(2) visitors

You can contact any member whose trade interests you simply by clicking on the contact button in their listing. For privacy reasons, the member's e-mail address will not be visible to you. Your e-mail is sent through an anonymous contact form in which you must enter your message and your reply e-mail address. You must also re-enter a random eight digit security code which is already provided for you on the contact member page. Visitors are able to read the U-Exchange Discussion Board but can only post by becoming a member.

(3) members

Once you post a trade (sign up) you become a member. Then login to your personal homepage with the password that you've selected. Once a member, you can...

Send and receive messages from your personal U-Exchange E-mail Inbox.

Post of up to three photos which are automatically resized for you.

Edit your listing/s anytime you like from your home page.

Post up to two hyperlinks of your websites.

Add details to your profile and avator for the discussion board.

Post on the message board

Add new listings to your account or delete old ones at anytime.

(4) helpful tips when you sign up (post a trade)

List a detailed explanation of what you are offering and what you are seeking, don't leave people guessing. This is also important if someone is using the keyword search feature, you'll be easier to find. Listings with very little or no details will be deleted.

(5) after you sign up (post a trade)

You will be assigned a Green icon. This means you can "go" trade as much as you like. If you have completed your trade or are going away on holidays, you can "stop" trading by selecting the red icon in your Edit Profile. Your post will not be visible to viewers at this time but you are still able to login and browse listings. To resume trading, simply select the green icon again.
