Assuming that you have permission from your parent or guardian to give out your address: you contact someone, discuss what you want to trade, e.g. "5 singles, a cuff, and a necklace," mention colors and things that you like, e.g. "pink, purple, Hello Kitty," tell each other your preferred bracelet and necklace sizes, and exchange addresses. Then you have to decide who's going to send first or if you're both going to send at the same time. Normally, the person who is newest to trading should send first to prove that they can be trusted. When you send, I recommend that you get a tracking number when possible so you have proof that they received it. If you send first, be sure that you trust the person, or don't be surprised if you never get anything in return. Side note: we do not officially allow trading on this site. If you trade on here, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible if you get scammed and scamming happens more often than you would expect. Trading online is really fun and I've gotten some of my favorite kandi that way! Just be aware that there's always a chance of not getting anything in return.

Normally I and many other kandi makers do kandi trades through YouTube(I highly suggest this). There are "kandi offer videos" which showcase previously made kandi that is "up-for-grabs" for trades. However, some people only show what they're capable of and offer to create custom made kandi. I do both. Through messages and comments you can discuss specifics of the trade. And then exchange addresses as you wish(through facebook, YouTube message, etc.). It's a good way to keep up with your trading partner for progress and verification. Btw I'm open for trades! My username on YouTube is RaineySydchu. I do alot of perlers and 3D's. Mostly both, and mostly Pokemon oriented. But I'm up for anything! Going back to what Crumpet said, scams happen often. Not always intentionally, but it does happen. So do not take it personally and do not be surprised. Do not let this discourage you from trading! Almost exactly 50% of my kandi has been recieved this way!

cool, I'm glad it helped happy no, you don't need to click that unless there are lots of people talking and you want to be specific about who you're replying to. the button didn't work because I used quotes in my comment and there's a glitch related to that which I've never bothered to fix.
