→Cash On Delivery - C.O.D.: 1c/item, added link to mail page
==Trade chat==
The Trade chat tab is a [[Chat#Global|global]] chat used for advertising your intent to sell (WTS), buy (WTB), trade (WTT), or desire to price check something (PC). Only messages that begin with the abbreviations WTS, WTB, WTT, or PC are displayed in the chat window. Players answering your message will reply to you via [[PM|private messages]]or direct in the trade chat by using "<code>@ <your username></code>", which will only be visible to you. You may toggle this tab on and off in your [[profile|profile settings]].

===Cash On Delivery - C.O.D.===
You may have an item for sale, that fits into a mailbox. These items are the easiest to trade, as you can simply put them into a mailbox, select a recipient, check the C.O.D. tab, select a price, and send the item to your customer. The time it takes for the item to arrive depends on how high the enchantment on the mailbox is, and how far away your customer lives. You will be paid as soon as the customer receives the item.
In order to pick up an item sent to you via C.O.D., you simply go to a mailbox and receive the item. In order to successfully withdraw the item, you need the amount of money it costs to be in your bank, as it is automatically withdrawn from there. Keep in mind that depending on the server the A courier fee of 1c per item comes from or goes to, a fee between 10 and 30 coppers applies(see [[mail]] for more details).
===Pickup===
When selling an item, you may offer delivery. If you deliver to a location far away from you, you might consider applying delivery charges, which have to be discussed with your customer in advance. For bulk or loadable items, it is recommended to own a ship. However, if you are at a lake with a shallow canal to the outside sea, make sure you have a ship that is able to get through it.
The same applies to you if you wish for a seller to deliver to you - they may apply delivery charges just as well, so make sure to clarify on that before they make their way to you.
Alternatively, you may use the new [[wagoner]] system which utilizes the [[highway]] system and an NPC to deliver the goods for you.

==A Word Of Caution==
While the Wurm community and staff try their best to prevent scams, noone no one but the people directly involved in the trade can be held responsible for the outcome of each transaction. Especially when trading via real life currency, that can become an issue. Scams are less than frequent, but they do happen, and you will wish to be as careful as possible to avoid that scenario. For that, there was an official warning to all players issued by the staff, which you are recommended to read. It is advised for you to trade only with people who have a reputation of completing successful trades, or who have someone respectable to back up their intentions as a first time trader.
Make sure to take screenshots or even record your transactions and keep the results as proof for a successful transaction, or a scam just in case.
