ALL orders must go through the Silk Road order system. Whether you are accepting Bitcoin for a product you're offering, or accepting another item for a product you're offering by way of trade (which is an inherently bad idea, by the way), you are not permitted to engage in OOE transactions. The consequences of engaging in OOE transactions can be found in the Seller's Guide. Furthermore, buyers are not permitted to engage in trade on the forums. If people wish to give others free stuff that is up to them but they are not permitted to ask for payment in any way, shape or form, whether that payment is made in Bitcoin or by way of a product of any sort. We strongly recommend against providing anybody on the forums with your personal details for obvious reasons. Please note that accepting an item as a trade for another item is not 'giving or receiving free stuff', it is in fact 'engaging in trade'. Libertas
