Title: Noob question about trading
Post by: xethed on April 25, 2013, 06:08 pm
Hi, I've been a member for a while but only made a couple of transactions, therefore am still a noob at heart :). This may be a stupid question but I've seen people talking about 'trading' on a few forums posts.

Now my question is does this refer to directly trading one product for another product without the use of Bit coins or does it just refer to a standard purchase.

I ask because I have about 200 Finasteride 5mg and some other bits n pieces gathering dust but can't afford to make a seller account just to sell them and was wondering if its possible to trade them directly for something else without the use of bitcoins.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

peace

Sorry, but that would violate the rules.  If you have something you want to sell, you need a vendor account.  You cannot just trade your product for someone else's product.  The only way to buy here is with bitcoin - not with cash, not with Moneygram, not with Western Union, not with bank transfer, not with MP code.  So when you see people talking about a "trade" - it's safe to assume they are referring to purchasing something with bitcoins from a vendor.
