What is “My Swap”?

My SWAP is a place where you would upload and store all items that you wish to swap. Other members can search for your items from the search bar, and if they are interested in swapping items with you, create a market, and drag items from your “My Swap” list into the market. It is very important that you describe the item in detail, so there will not be any misunderstandings.

What is “Collection”?

The Collection system is different than My SWAP. The Collection system is a place for you to share your personal fascinating collectibles with others. You do not upload items you wish to swap here in the collection system. The collection system can allow you to show off your collections and also find people that share the same interests. You can also use the Collection system to find out what your friends are passionate about and spark conversations. It is designed to bring people closer and get to know each other on a deeper level.

What is “Wish List”?

The purpose of the Wish List is very similar with the Collection system. It is a place where you can tell people what you really list and wish to have. It is also a place you can find out what gift to give for your friends on their birthday, graduation parties, wedding, and Christmas…etc. It is also designed to help bring people closer together and get to know them better and deeper.
