• How does Swapping work?

  First sign up for a FREE account and create your profile. List the games that you have and the games that you want. Our system automatically notifies you when a game is being shipped to you or when you are being requested to send out a game to another user.

  Trading Tokens are purchased by users who are requesting games from other members. 1 trading token is used for every game you receive in the system.

  Purchase Points are the virtual currency you use to purchase games. Games are divided into 3 values: 10, 20 or 30 Purchase Points. The higher the value of the game, the more Purchase Points it is worth.

• Are Purchase Points Refundable?

  No. The only way to receive value from Purchase Points is to use them to acquire games in the system.

  There could be several reasons for not receieving any games.

  There is a qualfication requirement of a net of 1 positve feedback from games mailed by you to other members. If you do not meet the qualification requirement you will be unable to particpate in a Direct Trade, unless it is specifically allowed by a member that is qualified, and with whom you want to enter into a Direct Trade.
