Uanditrade is a website for people who have outgrown great things! Our site connects you with other people all over the United States so that you instantly have a trading network.  Because we are a trading site no money is ever exchanged.  Instead people get points for their items. (More is explained on this below.)

To get started click on the " Register" button on the Home Page.  Fill out the necessary information.  After you register you will be e-mailed an activation code.  Sometimes it takes a couple of minutes for the code to be sent so be patient.  (Occasionally the code will be sent to your " junk mail" box so make sure you check there.  Add us as a " contact" to your e-mail list so we don't get put in the trash again.)  Once you get your activation code login using the code and start posting items.  It's that easy.

To list an item go to the " My Account" tab.  Click on " My Items." After you do that  just press  " Add Item" and follow the directions.

Yes but they will not be counted towards the initial  10 points given for posting 2 items. The reason for this is that most coupons expire and their value is not as significant as an article of clothing or shoes or books etc.  UandITrade concentrates on the trading  of real items instead of paper securities (coupons).

 

Search through the different items listed.  You can limit your search in different ways. 

1) Go to " Search UandITrade" above.  Enter in what you want.  You can put in a brand that you want such as GAP or you can put in a color.  You can also put in the size and gender.  Make sure that you check " Contains All Words" so that only the items that you want are returned.  For instance if you put in girls 3T but you don't check " Contains All Words" you will get any  item that has " girls"   in it and any item with " 3T" in it.   

2) You can search by  categories.  Go to the drop down box in the menu bar above. 

3) You can search for items by a person& rsquo s nickname.  Go to the drop down box in the menu bar above. 

Once you find an item that you want click on the picture.  This will take you to  a more detailed  page.  Then click on the " I'll Take It" button.  The owner will be notified with your shipping information and your item will be shipped.    If you have a question about the item you can send the owner an e-mail.  Simply click on " Ask a question about the item." We have an internal e-mail system where the e-mail will be sent.             

 

Trade credits are the currency of Uanditrade.com. We recommend that 1 point roughly corresponds to $1 US. Please keep in mind that the items are not " off the rack" and should be discounted accordingly. An item's condition and brand should also be factored in valuing an item. Other factors to consider are " lots" which are multiple items grouped together and which should have more points assigned to them than a single item would have. Remember though that if you list a lot you should explain what is in the lot.  When you find something you like and you have enough trade points just press the " ll take it button" and your points will be set aside until you receive the product from the sender.  Once you receive the product you click " Got It" and your points will be deposited in the senders account.     The " Got It" button is found in " My Trades" in your " Inbound" box.  " My Trades" is found in " My Account"   You can also click on the green man in the menu bar to find your inbound and outbound items. 

To get your Trade Credits you must first post two items.  Then you must trade one of those items with another member.  When you have completed one good trade you will get your points for your item and you can know request items.  To complete a trade someone must request your item and then you must ship it to that person.  When the person gets the item they will click " got it"   so the points will be transferred.  Then you can go shopping. After your initial trade you can earn more Trading Credits by posting and trading more items.  You can also get points for referring new members.  You have a referral code that you can give to people (the referral code is under " Invite a Friend" ).  When your friends use your referral code and activate their account you are eligible for extra points.  For the first 25 friends who activate their account you will get 2 points per person for up to 50 points.  For the next 25 friends you invite you will get 1 point.  You can get up to 75 points for referrals. 

It's our initiation process to make sure you are a serious trader and  not just someone looking to get something for nothing.  Once you pass the " initiation" process   you will appreciate this process even more when you trade products with new members. You can increase your chances of getting your trade selected sooner by posting " GOOD STUFF" on the site at a fair points price. 

No your points have zero cash value.

The sender is obligated to

1. Make sure the picture and description are accurate.
2. Get the package to the receiver within seven business days of the trade date.
3. Pay the shipping costs.

Below are the suggested points for items. We recommend that 1 point roughly corresponds to $1 US. Points should vary depending on an item's condition brand and materials i.e. leather should be more than cotton. Please keep in mind that the items are not " off the rack" and should be discounted accordingly. Item Points between Here are some brief guidelines   Shirts 1 - 8 points Sweaters 2 - 15 points Coats 10 - 50+ points Pants 2 - 15 points Toys 1-30+ points   Books 1 - 2 points Dresses 3 - 50+ points Shoes 2 - 15 points. 

Once you receive an item go to your " My Trades" page and press the " Got It" button to transfer your points to the sender.  Then post  the sender's rating. You can make comments.  Please be truthful as everyone will be able to read these comments. 

The sender pays for the shipping.  This was quite a discussion point when starting the site. We believe that if you are an active trader then  everything will equal out in the end. It&rsquo s better than waiting for someone to Pay Pal you $5.00 and then dealing with getting your money back from Pay Pal. In the future we may have a &ldquo you pay shipping&rdquo for larger heavier items.

YES! If you send the product and have proof that you sent the product (you can get a delivery confirmation when you mail the item) and if  the receiver doesn&rsquo t hit " got it" or give you feedback we will guarantee the points you would have received to your account. You must wait 30 days before filing a complaint with us about the receiver at support@uanditrade.com. We do not reimburse for any freight costs incurred we  only give you your  points.

We also keep a record of people who file claims and will revoke the use of the site for anyone abusing the guarantee.

While we can't guarantee that someone will ship their product if you never receive your item we can cancel the trade and we will credit your account with the " Trade Credits" spent for the product. If the person has a delivery confirmation number and we see that the item was received then your points will be transferred to the sender. 

  Before we cancel the trade   we ask you to go through the following process

1)e-mail the sender if they haven't shipped your item within 7 days.  Send a copy of the e-mail to  Administration  through support@uanditrade.com.   

2)If they still haven't sent it by day 14 e-mail  administration so that we can contact the sender. 

3)If by day 21 we haven't heard from the sender then we will cancel the points give them an F and credit back your points.  If the trader does e-mail back by day 21 we will work with the trader to get your item or we can cancel the item if the trader hasn't sent the item.

Just so you know we do keep a close eye on senders and receivers.  If we see issues with the sender we will notify you. 

 

If the product is never sent to you please use your &ldquo receiver guarantee.&rdquo

You may cancel a trade at anytime by clicking the 'Cancel and Remove' button found in the Item detail's  Preview section under the 'My Items' menu.

If however you cancel the  item after the item was requested for shipment i.e. another member clicked the 'I'll Take It!' button and then you changed your mind and decided not to  ship the item   then the following will occur

1. You are given an 'F' rating for the cancelled  trade.
2. The requestor's points spent are credited back to their account
3. You will not receive any points for the trade
4. A Notice of Cancellation is sent to the requestor

Otherwise the item will be removed without consequence.

Note that  under Uanditrade's grading system 3 &ldquo F&rsquo s within any 90 day window creates a forfeiture of your points to charity and your account will be locked out  for 1 year.

We take 'F' ratings seriously.

1. You will not be allowed access to your account for 1 year.
2. Your points will be forfeited to charity

If you think that you have been locked out or graded unfairly then you may email  a rebuttal to support@uanditrade.com. Note that sending a rebuttal does not ensure reactivation. Account reactivation is at the sole discretion of Uanditrade.

Yes.

If your ratings of other members are  out-of-line or unfair and if such ratings occur frequently then it is apparent to  Uanditrade that you do not want to be a trading member and are trying to get others removed from this site with malicious intent. You may also be locked out for similar malicious activity by marking items as inappropriate.

Please use your own good judgment when assigning a rating. Be fair and honest. If the trade was bad then assign it  an 'F.' Bad trades  do  happen. Hopefully your next trade will be better.
