📌 Tip 30 of 72 🏷️ gaming 👶 Ages 3–5

Trading in-game items outside the official marketplace means there are no protections if the other person scams you.

You won’t get your item back, and the platform won’t be able to help because the trade happened off-platform.

Stick to the game’s built-in trading system.

If a deal seems too good to be true, it is.
