Section #1 ---- What’s a Trade?

A trade is an exchange of something from one person to another for something he or she has and visa versa. Trades are usually used to get different items that the other person (or in this case member) does not have. However this is not always the case, trades can consist of any reasoning as long as both people agree upon the exchange or otherwise known as trade!

NOTE: Trade is different from Transfer. Transfer implies that one member wishes to send an item to another member. In other words Transfer is more like giving.

Section #2 ---- Tradable Items

1. Items (all items in Furvilla)
2. Villagers
3. Currency (Furdollars and FurCoins)

NOTE: Trades can consist of mixture of items, villagers and currency in one transaction. It can also have only one of the available sections for trade. For example: Items.

Section #4 ---- Status of a Trade

NOTE: To access a trade at anytime. Go to the Trade menu and select the Subject of the trade. This will allow for cancelations as well as understanding of which step the trade is in.

Trades are not one-sided. Each member must take part in the process in order to confirm or deny the trade. To better explain this study the following terminology.

Player A starts the trade with Player B

Incomplete - Player A successfully sent a trade to another member of Furvilla. Player B must review the trade in order to move forward in the trade. This stage simply means to wait.

Pending - Player B reviewed the trade and sent it back.

Accepted - Both Player A and Player B agreed to the trade and took the items offered.

Canceled - The trade was deleted by Player A.

Rejected - Player A or Player B disagreed to the trade and did not take the items offered.

Basically Player A sends over the original trade (Incomplete stage.) Then Player B reviews it and adds or subtracts items, villagers or currency (Pending stage.) Once after confirming his or her choice Player B sends it back. (Player B can reject the trade at this stage instead of editing it.) Then Player A reviews it and either Accepts or Rejects it.

NOTE: A notification will appear at the top of the Furvilla browser and will look something like the image below. This will help keep track of what step in the process each member’s in.
