What is a trading pass and how do I buy it?


What is a trading pass?
A trading pass is essential on GaiaOnline, especially if you want to sell items or trade gold or items to other users. Therefore, if you do not have a trading pass, you will not be able to send gold to users or sell items in the Marketplace. Please be aware that your account needs to be 3 days old in order to buy a trading pass.

How do you buy a trading pass?
It's very simple! You'll need 500 gold in order to purchase a trading pass. This is non-refundable.

In order to teach you how to buy a trading pass, there will be screenshots to guide you.

Instructions:

Step 1
Scroll down to the bottom of the forum, and there should be several links. Click on "trade"

Step 2
Once you have clicked on the "trade" link, you will then be directed into a new page. This is where you can buy your trading pass. Remember, trading pass cost 500 gold. When you buy the trading pass, you'll need to type in your password to confirm it. If you do not submit your password, you will not be able to buy the trading pass.

Step 3
Another new page will appear of you and the other person who you wish to trade you. At the bottom you will see your inventory and at the top of trade, where it says "Gold", you can enter the amount of how many gold you wish to trade.
Once you have selected the item or enter the gold amount it should appear on the box.
After checking everything correctly and making sure it is the correct user, you can now type in your password to start the trade and wait for the other user to accept it.

Questions
Quote:

Do I have to buy a trading pass?

It's really up to you. You don't have to if you chose not to trade items or gold to other user. But trading pass can be very useful if someone wanted to give you gold.

Quote:
How much is the trading pass?

It only cost 500 gold, and no more than that.

How to sell items using the Marketplace



Selling items in the Marketplace is very simple!
Follow the following steps, and you'll be selling in no time!

Step 1
As before with the trade, click on "Shops" then "Marketplace"


Step 2
You will then be directed to the Marketplace.
Scroll down and you'll see a text box that says "Sell item". Click on it.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 3
Then you will be directed to your store to sell items. Search for the item you wish to sell.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 4
Then sell your item!
Before you click on "Next" Make sure every detail is correct.
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Step 5
Once you have clicked "Next" you will then need to type in your password to confirm the sale.
Remember to check everything has entered correctly. Once the user has bought the item, the sale is final. If you're selling an item that is 100k make sure you type it as 100000 NOT 100,000 as it will not recognise the comma.

Step 6
Now that you have confirmed your password, the item will now be listed in the Marketplace. 3nodding



Goodluck!

Now how do I trade?

It's going to be easy!
If your in Trade, you will see something saying "Username:"
When you see that, type in a friends name, and click on "Start new trade".
It will come up a page like this:
{image 1}
User Image
If you want to give the person, an item of yours, click on your item. To give gold, click on the gold box and type in the amount of Gold you wanting to give. Once you have done that, type in your password and click on "Offer Trade".
Once you have done that, the person will get a little sign like this.
{image 2}
User Image
The person will need to click on the arrows and it will give them a page, of the trade. If they approve the trade, they will need to type in their password and offers trade.
Now you will still get a arrow to confirm you will accept the trade. Type in password and confirm it.
All trades are done. The other user will get an arrow to show the trade was successful.



If you want to check your trades history, scroll down and you will see "Completed trades".
If you see something like "Trades waiting on someone else", that means the other user will need to type in password and accept the trade.


So once I put what I want to trade, do I pick something of theirs? Cause their side is blank and my side has a rare item and I don't want to give it to them. I have talked to them and we decided what we wanted to trade, but I am afraid that they will just take my item and not trade anything. Help!!!!!!
