question about TBT forum custom

[samxmas]

when trading items with TBT. should we transfer the TBT currency first then get the items, or we should get the items first then transfer the TBT?

maybe it's up to the people involved, but just asking if there's a habit or custom in this forum. thanks

In my experience, it really is up to the people involved. If you’re ever unsure whether to pay before or after in a trade, don’t be afraid to ask!

As long as you confirm the trade on both ends it's really preference. I usually wait to be paid to send an item, and more often than not pay for an item before receiving it, usually there's little to no wait time as well so it doesn't really matter to me. Only thing I know people are more picky on is with art commissions and stuff, some people will require you to pre-pay or at least put down a deposit/partial payment so they don't end up doing work for nothing. But such will usually be stated in the thread.

I usually get paid first, or pay the person I'm buying something from first.

I prefer to get paid AFTER I send an item. For things that I'm buying, I send before I get the item.

alright thanks guys for the answer. so it depends on the person

I usually ask for payment first when handing over an item, villager, or collectible, but it really depends on the person's Wi-Fi/Trade rating. If it's high, I'm fine with delivering first. If it's low, I ask for payment first.

If collectible I usually ask for money first for a reason, however if I do in-game trades I prefer to give/receive bells after because that connection can break too easily.

^^ This.

For collectibles, money first.

Art, money after, unless it's something expensive.

Trades, money after, because connection issues, and wanting to make sure everything is there first and everything.
