For members with no negative Feedback (iTrader) ratings:
Hosts must be active members of this site for at least 3 months prior to hosting a swap and have a positive Feedback (iTrader) rating of +15.

Members with one or two negative Feedback (iTrader) ratings:
The hopeful host must make every attempt to clear up negatives and any outstanding trades that resulted in the negative. Once this has happened to the best of the member's ability, then in order to host the member must have 15 positive Feedback (iTrader) in a row and 6 months of time since the negative was given.

More stringent rules will be in place for PAT hosting than for regular swaps. Members need to have positive Feedback (iTrader) of over 30; have run at least 3 successful swaps, and have been a member for six months.

We take swap hosting very seriously. Hosts who do not maintain their swaps in a timely manner, are non-communicative with participants, or violate other hosting guidelines may be put on a six month no-hosting probation at the discretion of the staff.

It is the choice of the host as to whether or not they participate in their swap.
