VALUES
What Are Tiers?
We utilize the Tiers to allocate a value to each item. This value is based upon the designer brand of your item. Tiers go up in value based on the market value of the designer. For example Alice & Olivia is considered a Tier 1 designer, while Chanel is considered as the highest tier, which is Tier-4. It is not an absolute value nor is it perfect science, but it does work as a starting point. Many other considerations might go into consideration when accepting a trade offer include item condition, age and style. We ask that you use common sense when making an offer. If you're item is not of equal value to your potential trade partner, your offer will likely be declined.
(After careful consideration, we’ve decided to retire the Haute-Points reward on all trades)
However we’ll still be running special offers so you may still receive Trade-Credits by invite or Promotions)
Trade-Credits help keep HauteTrader safe and fun. We utilize them as our own trading currency, which can be dispersed via Promotions, Inviting friends, or as compensation in the face of Trade disputes. The usage value of Trade-Credits directly relate to the Tier number of your listings. If you happen to receive Trade-Credits for your item consider treat them the same as you would treat an accepted trade.
