What is a trade note? A trade note, or rather trade notification, is simply you letting the correct person know about a trade after it has taken place, preferably right after the trade happens. Do your best to notify the staff of your trades as soon as possible: waiting can cause errors and problems in the records over the long term.
•
Where do I send a trade note to? Instead of sending trade notes via PMs, we now leave the
records open publicly. If you trade a pet, simply find the list that it is recorded in and post about the trade there. For trades involving multiple pets, you might have to post in multiple topics. It might mean you have to take more time to post them, but this helps not to overload the server with huge topics, and it helps trades and pets be more organized.
•
What must I include in a trade note? Most trade notes simply need you to post the
species you have traded and
who the pet has gone to. In some situations, such as customs and breedables, you may have to post more. For Customs, Lucain, and Paragons you must post the image of the pet since the ownership lists are handled using their images. For generation Kuhnas, you must list
both the
species of the Kuhna and
its parents. Alternatively, you may also post the
litter number of your Generation Kuhna instead of its parents.
•
How should I structure a trade note? There is no set structure for a trade note. Just keep in mind what the user taking care of the list needs to record the trade and go from there. If they don't need a picture, don't post it. If they need the names of the parents, remember to list them.
•
No trading unlimited pets What is an "unlimited pet"? Any pet you can find and adopt on the main site is considered "unlimited." If the pet is a custom pet, a custom color, or any retired pet, it is considered limited and you are allowed to trade it. However, if the pet is still publicly available, such as the Arkuhna, or a free coloration, such as a Common Tali, then the pet cannot be traded.
•
When you trade a pet, it's gone. For example, you have three Berry Kuhnas, and you want to trade one away. Once you trade it away, you are now left with two (2) Berry Kuhnas. If you trade one away and you claim that you still have three, that is illegal. If you have one Berry Kuhna, and you trade it away, you will have none. If you want another one, you must trade for it.
•
Retired pets can break the "three each" rule Free colorations are limited to three (3) copies only, per species. For example, you cannot have more than three Common Talis. You can have other
species with the same Common coloration, but you cannot have more than three (3) copies. However, since retired pets must be bought, they are excluded from this rule. You are free to have more than three Berry Kuhnas if you wish to have more! If the pet is retired or exclusive, you are free to have more than three copies.
•
Trade limits A pet may be traded an unlimited amount of times.

No personal, monetary profit! Real money ($RL) is a big part of Evelon: you can buy customs, items, and pets from others with it. However, you must understand that
you cannot sell pets in order to obtain monetary profit for yourself. You cannot sell retired pets for a few dollars and keep this money for yourself. This is something the staff will absolutely not tolerate.
However, there are a few exceptions to this rule.
Any pet that YOU originally bought for $RL can be sold back for personal monetary profit. If you bought a custom and you are not satisfied with it, another user can buy the pet from you for $RL — this Evelon's version of a "refund", should you be unsatisfied with your purchase. This rule follows the
original buyer only. For example, if you bought a custom from User A,
you cannot sell this custom for personal profit, since
you did not buy the custom with $RL directly from Baal. This right is only reserved for User A, who used their own $RL to pay Baal for a custom.
However, you are allowed to sell pets for $RL
that will be used on other Evelon features. This could be to buy another custom or random, or in order to buy items, such as Breeding Keys or a Fortuna Strain. Such trades typically translate to Evelon's second currency:
Goddess Tears (GT). You may trade your pets for GT if you are uninterested in KS or other pets. GT is Evelon's equivalent to $RL, where 1 GT = $1. Guidelines for purchasing GT can be found
here. Since this money will be used on Evelon purchases, you are not profiting personally, which is why this is allowed.

Trading Pets With High Stats Pets stats transfer with the pet. When you notify a mod of the trade, please be sure to let them know the pet's stats to ensure that the receiver does not unfairly boost them.
•
When trading a pet, can I put restrictions on that pet being traded or how often it can breed? There's a yes and a no to this question. There are things you can and cannot restrict upon trading a pet to another user. Since this topic became a topic of a lot of fuss back in the day, it has been given its own section
