How to trade WeCards safely

Almost every WeCards trade goes well. The few that go wrong follow the same patterns, and they are easy to avoid once you know them.

Use a trade with people you don't know

In a WeWard trade both sides see the cards and both have to accept. Nothing moves until then. A gift has no such protection: once you send it, it is gone. So with a new contact, always use a trade.

"Gift first, I'll send mine after"

This is the most common trick. If someone wants your card before they send theirs, suggest a normal trade with both cards in it. An honest collector has no reason to say no.

Never pay, never sell

WeCards are not for sale. Paying or taking money for cards breaks WeWard's rules and can get an account banned. SwapTrek has no prices and no payments: it is card for card, or a free gift.

Protect your account

• Never share your WeWard password or a login code, with anyone.
• Your WeWard username is enough for someone to find you. Nobody needs more than that.
• Ignore links that promise free cards or Wards.

Check who you are trading with

On SwapTrek every member has a public profile. Look at their feedback stars, how many trades they have finished and how many gifts they have given. A new member with no history is not a problem, but start with a small trade.

Agree on the details in the chat

Write down which cards each of you sends before opening WeWard. If the offer in WeWard doesn't match what you agreed, decline it and ask. Most of the time it is an honest mistake.

If something goes wrong

Tell the other person first. If that doesn't help, you can block and report a member on SwapTrek, and contact WeWard's support for anything that happened inside the app. SwapTrek is a fan site and can't undo a trade or a gift.
