Documenting swaps protects both parties and ensures safety. Here’s how to record and review swaps effectively.
1. Take Clear Photos
Photograph the item from multiple angles, including any defects or accessories.
2. Record Serial Numbers
Capture device IDs, model numbers, or authenticity marks for verification and traceability.
3. Keep Platform Messages
All communication on the platform acts as proof in case of disputes or misunderstandings.
4. Review Items Before Finalizing
Inspect the item personally, confirm accessories, and check functionality.
5. Document Completed Swap
Save screenshots, receipts, or signed notes for both parties’ records.
6. Encourage Feedback
Ask for feedback to build trust and improve your swap experience over time.
7. Store Records Securely
Use a folder or cloud storage to keep swap documentation safe and easily accessible.
Pro Tip: For high-value items, consider meeting at a repair shop where a technician can verify the item's condition for a small fee.
