a few ideas to add:
1. make your rules easy to read, and add one or two photos, as colorful rules lead to more trades
2. try to send messages when you acept and edit trades, every one likes that!

could you do a post on how to make a 'Please trade with me' post? Thank you so much!



Actually for me colourful rules only lead to more eye-sore.

I have a bad eyesight and I get a headache from too bright colours fast. SO I greatly prefer simple 1-coloured rules on a background that does not bite with the colour of the writing.

Gigglebug stuck two wafer rolls in her mouth and pretended to be a walrus. It is unclear how this could help the current situation.

sometimes I get that two. I'm just saying that a small block list with no spaces with black on white is less likly to get people to read your rules then orange print, with a clear easy to read font in a list with spaces and a photo of a favorite pet on top, not like, neon flashing rules

This. Plus, people use different layouts- so what might work on say, the green chicken smoothie layout may not work on the winter layout, or the business layout! Less is more for trading rules, I find~

I hope this is ok to ask here.. But..

But I've never been good with CS trading. I recently got a non-balloon. And I was hoping I could trade it down for the rest of the malk dragons I need. The red, grey, white, and pps one. And I was wondering if you could give me any advice for that?

I'm not sure if this was included for not in the first pony, but what exactly do pets who are listed boost how 'expensive' they are in trades. I'm not to sure with this listing. Perhaps some one could provide a link to a thread all about it? Thanks. :3

The pets are not 'boosted' due to the list, the list simply reflects what they are traded for C: You can check the list here: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=112366
