What's New
A plain-language look at what's changed on TradeMyTCG, newest first.
Version 4 Beta
Current- Membership levels — every account now has a level (Basic, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Elite) shown as a small emblem next to your name across the site. Your level sets how many credits you get each week.
- Weekly credits — credits now refresh once a week by level (20, 60, 150, 400, or 1500) instead of a flat 10 a day. Unused weekly credits reset every Monday and don't carry over; any bonus "special" credits granted on top of that never expire and are only used once your weekly credits run out.
- Credits are now spent on finding trades — running the auto-matcher, searching for possible trades (per card you include in the search), and starting a trade from "Trade again" each cost credits. Proposing, accepting, and countering trades are still free. If you don't have enough credits for an action, it waits until your credits refresh.
- Redesigned My Trades page — the same sidebar layout as My Collection: quick links down one side, one section shown at a time, a draggable divider, and a collapse toggle. It remembers what you had open.
- Trade tools open right on the page — Find matches, Search for trades, Trade again, and building or editing a proposal now load inside the Trades page instead of sending you to a separate screen, with a one-step Back link to retrace where you came from.
- "Trade again" rebuilt — past trading partners now show as a grid of cards, each with your shared-trade stats and their star rating, so you can see at a glance who's worth approaching.
- Account page reorganized — split into an Info view (membership, credits, ratings) and a Settings view (name, email, password) so things are easier to find.
- New FAQ page — linked from the footer, covering how collections, tradeable copies, trade matching, and credits work.
- Fixed header — the top navigation bar now stays in place as you scroll instead of scrolling away.
- Clearer privacy policy — now spells out exactly which cookies and browser storage the site uses, and why.
Version 3 Beta
Previous- Usernames — pick one when you register; it's how other traders see you everywhere on the site from now on (in the header, on trades, in messages, on the leaderboard-style lists) instead of your real name.
- Log in with your username or email — whichever you remember.
- Stronger registration — a confirm-password field to catch typos, a country field, and a show/hide eye icon inside every password field.
- My Account page — click your name in the header to get to it. Update your name, phone, and country; change your email (with re-verification) or password; and see your full trading Ratings & Feedback history in one place.
- Daily credits — every account now earns 10 credits automatically each day you log in, shown in the header and itemized on your Account page. Spending them (on searches, trades, and smarter matching) is coming in a future update.
- Redesigned My Collection — collections and their sets now live in a sidebar with counts and set codes, and the page shows one set at a time instead of one long scroll. Drag the divider to resize the sidebar, and it remembers what you had open and selected.
- Dark mode polish — fixed several text fields and dropdowns across the site that weren't following your chosen theme.
- New logo.
Version 2 Beta
Previous- Trade again — a shortcut on your Trades page to start a new trade with someone you've traded with before, without needing to find a fresh match first.
- Two-way cash offers — either side of a trade can now add their own cash on top of the cards, independently of the other.
- Redesigned Trades page — a sidebar with quick links to jump straight to any section, instead of scrolling through everything.
- Easier navigation — added a way back to your Trades page from the trade-matching and trade-search pages.
- Notifications center — get notified right in the app when someone messages you, proposes a trade, or sends a counter-offer, plus announcements from the site admins.
- Email notifications — an optional setting to also receive those notifications by email.
Version 1 Beta
Initial release- Full card catalog — browse and search across multiple trading card games, automatically kept up to date, with fast filtering by game and set.
- Accounts — free registration with email verification and secure login.
- Collection tracking — keep track of what you own, what you have spare to trade, and what you're hoping to find, down to the exact condition and grading of each copy.
- Finding trades — two ways to discover a trade: automatic matching (people who want what you have and have what you want) and a simple search for anyone holding a card you're after.
- Full trade flow — propose, accept, decline, or cancel a trade, plus counter-offers and an optional cash sweetener on top of the cards.
- Shipping & delivery — mark items as shipped and received, with star ratings and reviews for your trading partners.
- Messaging — talk directly with the other person about a specific trade.
- Trust at a glance — see a trading partner's rating history before you trade with them.
- Live platform stats — right on the home page.
- Admin tools — for managing the card catalog and user accounts.
