TitleTrader News

2005-02-15
Thanks for becoming a TitleTrader member! We have had a lot of activity in the last month and we have a lot of new information about the site to pass along to you. We have had outstanding growth over the last month. We now have over 6500 items listed and are growing each day. In our 6 months or so of operation we have grown larger than similar sites that have been around for years. This is all thanks to our users. If you haven't been to the site recently, we hope you stop by to check out the new inventory and features. We have added several new features to the site these include:
- Vacation Mode: This feature should be turned on if you will be away for an extended period of time and not able to ship items. Activating this will remove your items from the public inventory until it is turned off. This feature can be accessed at the bottom of the My Inventory page.
- Inactive Accounts: Accounts that are inactive for more than a month will have vacation mode activated. This creates a cleaner inventory and help clean up stale accounts.
- Country: On the My Account page you can now indicate your country and you can also indicate if you are willing to ship outside of your country.
- TitleTracker: This feature allows for an item to tracked so you can follow where an item travels. To use this, simply click Generate TTID in My Inventory and follow the instructions.

We have also started offering our premium features to users. All new accounts receive 1 month of premium features for free. Existing accounts received 2 months of free premium service. The premium features help the community in a number of ways. It provides the user with value-added services, while keeping the main swapping free for everyone. It also helps other users identify serious swappers. The payments also help us pay for the servers and advertising. Advertising is key because it brings in the users and inventory that make the site what it is. The premium features include:
- Wishlist: You can add items to your wishlist the same way you add items to your inventory. When that item is listed by another user, an email is sent to you letting you know. You can then come back to TitleTrader and request the item.
- Daily Newsletter: This is an email sent to you each day containing the newest items that have been added to the inventory. This allows you to easily look through new items without even going to the site. You can even choose which formats are emailed to you.
- Buddy List: (Coming Soon) This feature allows you to bookmark your favorite users so you can keep an eye on what they have listed. You can also have TitleTrader email you when a buddy lists new items.
- Safe Swap Premium Member: After your first upgrade to premium services you will become a Safe Swap Premium Member for as long as you have an account with us. This gives us verified contact information for you and lets other members know that you are a serious member of the site and commited to the swapping experience. This adds another layer of confidence for our users on top of the feedback system. Only 1 year's purchase is necessary to activate this feature for life.
Thank you to every for using the site and for making it the success that it has become. We look forward to future success. As always, if you have any comments or suggestions please let us know.
