How To Swap

• First step is to create your Gameswap.ie account
• Select your account type either a standard account or Members account
• Collect up the games you want to swap and add them all to your profile
• Then decide which games you want and add them all to your profile
• The site’s database will then match your games with the other users
• You can then start your swapping career by making and receiving swap offers
• Once a swap has been accepted you will be emailed the contact details, simply pop the game in the post and sit back a relax

Swapping Guidelines

• Use registered post. It’s a little more expensive but it offers you some protection against lost mail
• Only add games you want to swap not games you just own. It might sound simple but some people will click all the games they have then have to go and remove them again
• We recommend posting games, but if you are meeting a swapper in person then take all necessary precautions involved in meeting people from the internet. Go with a friend, meet in busy locations. Never go somewhere you are not familiar with, on your own. If in doubt use the postal system. If a swapper won’t post a game then choose someone else. You can back out of any deal if you don’t feel comfortable
• Don’t list any illegal, damaged or unusable games. Doing so will get you banned without any refund
• Do leave feedback it is important for other users. Bonus points are awarded for good swappers
• When making or accepting a swap, do pay attention to the feedback of the user. Members who have good feedback are reliable. If in doubt choose someone else
• Don’t swap outside the site only complete swaps that have been submitted and accepted through the site. This is for your own protection
