Add “Trade” Prefix

[Umzk]

Hello, I think this would be a good idea since some people trade steam accounts and Minecraft accounts that there should be a prefix specifically for that.

Hey, a useful and simple suggestion for once, amazing.

Buying/Selling says nothing about the types of payment you’re willing to accept.
All it says is whether or not you have the thing you’re posting the thread about.
You can ask for payment for an item in money, other items or anything you want.

Adding a “Trade” tag would make it unclear whether you have what the thread is about or whether you’re looking for it.
Moreover, it’s just unnecessary.
We had trade prefixes before, and they were forced to be removed for this exact reason.

I look forward to us adding a filtering option which will allow thread authors to fill in a bunch of metadata about the transaction they’re looking for, which will make searching for such threads extremely simple.

Why not have "Trading away" and "Trading for", then?

Because that's not as intuitive or used as 'Buying' or 'Selling' is.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
