iTrader question?

Discussion in 'Support & Feedback' started by wyattt, Aug 20, 2007.

    Can you exchange iTrader for a review copy of a service or ebook? I assume not since the buyer is not actually paying for something, but the seller is offering something in exchange for a review, so it's kind of like a trade.

    Also, can you exchange iTrader for a transaction that was completed through PM and not anywhere in the sale thread?

    Thank you!

    Unless it's in the freebies section I think you could classify it as a "Trade".

    No -

    If he gave the book to you for FREE, then its a "Freebie"

    No Itraders for freebies

    How come one could give an itrader for a "Freebie"?
    Itraders are for trades only , no itrader else.

    practically, you can exchange an i trader for a review book since this kind of transactions are usually done in the BST are before the sales start out, so you are covered as far as the do legality is involved.
    You can not exchange an i trader through pm, if at least one of you have not posted in a thread in the bst category.

    you can not give itrader for link exchanges or freebies or bookmarking exchanges. itrader should only be used when money has been exchanged for something.

    You cannot exchange iTrader if you gave/received anything for free. Even if it was in a sales thread, you shouldn't leave iTrader if you didn't pay/receive money.

    That's how it works, I believe. :)

    But you actually exchange the free copy for a review which helps in increasing of sales, right? Shouldn't this be classified as trade? I mean this is something like x gives y an ebook for free and y gives x an article in return. Looks like should be classified as a trade i guess.

    I guess you didn't get what i'm trying to say.

    Review copies are like trade more than just freebies. Its like you're trading a copy of the product/ebook for a review, isn't it?

    Generally trades are: where "MONEY" is involved, else it is not considered as a trade. So no itraders for such trades.
    What do you say guys?

    JDR!pper wrote a good itrader Thread : here

    But I think we need someone to write when to give an itrader (Positive, negative or neutral).

    I guess I should do some writing :rolleyes:

    Link Exchange and Content swapping does not involve money either.

    A member gets a review copy but cannot just run away with it. He is obliged to post a review about it to boost the sales. If he does not post a review about it, he should be given a negative iTrader feedback.

    He gets a copy... He is ought to post a review.... Sounds like a trade to me and thus qualified for an iTrader IMO...

    Exactly! Stumble exchanges aren't really trade. I mean you don't really exchange something of much value.

    I don't agree with you both
    How come free things now qualified for iTraders ?

    ok,I give my signature for free which worth near 9$
    So i should be qualified for iTrader (if you talking about value)
    because 9$ worth more than 7$ e-books..

    C'mon..

    no money is changing hands so no itrader.


    you are not getting what everyone is telling you, no money exchanged, = no itrader.

    lets start a thread for exchanging itrader, everyone gets 2 because they exchanged the 1st and get a 2nd for doing a good trade.

    wake up. itrader is used to give people an idea of your honesty, when money is changing hands, not a reward like rep. you like what you got? give rep, not itrader.

    Link Exchange lol you are not allowed to give itrader for Link Exchange.

    trade is goods for cash, barter is goods for goods or services, it aint called ibarter is it?

    no money exchanged, no itrader

    Free? If there's an obligation to do or give something in return (which is material), then it's not free.

    Anyway, it's only my opinion, mods or Shawn are the only people who has a final say about this. ;)

    Yes we are :D

    Review copies are also free like i said 100X times in this thread.

    If you talking about that when someone give a review copies to someone then member also need to post a review

    Same with bookmark exchanges ,You have to bookmark them and they will bookmark ur's link ;)
