How to Trade Your Neopet

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Decide what pet you would like and which pet you would like to trade.

   For example you are not going to be able to trade a Christmas Zafara for a Mara Shoyru! Check if the paintbrush used on your current pet is within the same price range as your dream pet, consider whether you would be willing to take a badly named pet and whether your own pets name is a good one or not.
   
   A good pet name is short, pronounceable and has no underscores or numbers.
   
   Very few people trade for badly named pets. , The Pound Board is the only place you should make topics about wanting to trade your pet.
   
   Anywhere else will be considered spam.
   
   The Pound Board is a very fast moving board.
   
   You will have to keep bumping your board and be patient. , Don't be afraid to say no to people
   - they will not (usually) be offended. , Are you being realistic on your expectations? ,, You must not simply use the pound option as this means you are likely to lose your pet
   - if you put a pet in the pound anyone can adopt it and there is no guarantee your intended trader will receive it.
