ATCsforALL.com supports "even" trading at our site and does not allow "uneven" trading or "uneven" swaps. An even trade is 1-1. That is, one card given for one card received.

In cases where different types of artwork are being traded (such as ATCs for Chunky Book Pages or Charms), both traders must reach a decision regarding what will be exchanged before they consider an agreement to have been made. In the past, artists have computed the square inches of artworks in exchanging larger works for ATCs, etc.

In trades of supplies, the determination must be satisfactory to both, using whatever criteria satisfy both traders.

Uneven Trades are trades where two ATCs are traded for one, or are trades where one person significantly receives more "art" or "stuff" in exchange than the other. Trades of these types are not allowed on AFA because they violate the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere of our site. This rule also applies to site-sponsored live trading events, like our yearly event.

If a member is found to have been engaging in or requesting uneven trades, they will be given one warning. Repeated requests for uneven trades subject members to disciplinary action such as suspension, board review, or removal from the site.

If members are asked for an uneven trade, we request that they notify staff immediately so that members making such requests innocently may be advised of our policy in this regard.
