What is a trade?
We make it possible to trade virtual goods and Gaia-specific currency between players. This is accomplished via a trading pass obtainable from the Bank on the Isle De Gambino. A trading pass has a one-time cost of 500 Gaia Gold. A trade is simply an exchange of goods or virtual currency between two players.
Where can I trade?
There are three ways to start a trade with another member:
- When looking at another member’s post, you can click the Trade Button located in their status bar:
- A similar status bar can be found at the bottom of all private messages.
- Trades can also be initiated at the Bank located in Isle De Gambino.
How do I start a trade?
If you have already bought a Trading Pass, all you need is the name of the member you would like to trade Gaia Gold or items with. Ideally you should have specified the details of your trade in a forum or via private messaging.
Trading is a three step process, starting a trade, receiving a trade and confirming a trade.
If you are starting a trade, you will be asked:
- The username of the member you want to trade with.
- The item(s) that you want to send to that member.
- If you want to include any Gaia Gold in the trade.
- A title for the trade.
If you are receiving or confirming a trade, you will see the trade request icon above your avatar:
When you click on the trade request icon, it will take you to the bank, where you can see any pending trades. You can chose to accept the trade by confirming, or you may decline a trade by clicking Cancel Trade.
Trading requires authorization. When sending, receiving or confirming your trade, you will be asked to enter your password during every stage of the process.
If I receive a trade request, does it mean that I HAVE to accept it?
No. A trade request requires mutual agreement. You can’t be forced into trading with another member if you don’t want to.
What if I don’t want to trade, but just GIVE something away?
If you wish to give an item to another member as a gift, you can wrap it and send it off. To do this, go to your My Stuff page, click on the item you wish to send, then click the 
button, and follow the step-by-step instructions on the Give Gift page.
I can’t select one of my items for trade. Why is that?
If you have a pending trade, you can’t initiate another trade using the same item or gold. The gold or items you are sending are held in the bank until the trade is completed or canceled.
