Help/Getting Started

Getting Started

Complete your Collector setup in about 5 minutes and avoid common early mistakes.

1. Set up your profile

  • Set your username, avatar, and visibility in Settings before adding items.
  • Pick language, theme, and location details so swap suggestions are more relevant.

2. Add your first items to Collections

  • Open any vinyl, movie, book, or sticker album and use Add to Shelf.
  • Use clear shelf names such as Main Collection, To Complete, or Archive.

3. Separate For Sale from Collections

  • Keep owned items in Collections, and move sellable entries to the For Sale flow.
  • This keeps your profile cleaner and helps buyers see what is actually available.

4. Start sticker tracking the right way

  • Claim a sticker album first, then set it as Active Track.
  • Log owned counts in My Stickers; counts above 1 become duplicates for swaps.

5. Enable safer trading

  • Use Search Swaps to find mutual matches, then message collectors directly.
  • Leave swap feedback after each trade and report suspicious behavior when needed.
