Step 1: Understand what Flash Trading is.
Flash Trading, also called "Trust Trading"
is a trading method in Animal Jam where two players will offer items for trade and accept or decline without seeing the items.
It was originally started as a game between friends, where one person would offer a rare item and the other would offer a junk item.
The person with the junk item would attempt to accept the trade before the person with the rare item declined it.
It quickly became popular with scammers as a way to trick people out of rare items, and the developers have since limited the ability to make Flash Trades.
Trades now have a timer before the Accept button appears, giving both players time to see the items being traded.
Because of this "Flash Trading" as it was known is no longer possible. -
Step 2: Find a Flash Trade partner.
Find someone that will Flash Trade with you, and that you trust to trade back your Rare items.
If you want to avoid being scammed, don't join any big Flash Trading parties.
Instead, try to meet up with a friend off the beaten path so that you can trade safely.
