SWAPD 3.4 is LIVE
The update is live! From new payment options to simplified crypto transactions, we’ve got plenty of good news (and a few less exciting updates) heading your way in April.
-
Theme Overhaul:
- We’re making our biggest theme change to date! While the updates mostly involve colors, font types, sizes, and small layout adjustments, we hope you’ll love the refreshed look.
-
Updated Header for Guests:
- The iconic Turkish Media Support guy sitting behind a desk is being replaced with a clean, simple design.
-
Improved Mobile Experience:
- We’re modernizing many controls to enhance usability. Menus and interactive elements will be larger, making them easier to click and read.
-
Multiple Drafts Feature:
- Currently, you can only save one draft of a topic or PM. With SWAPD 3.4, you’ll be able to manage multiple drafts simultaneously.
-
Enhanced Spam Tools:
- Our spam detection just got smarter to better combat newbie issues!
-
Admin Improvements:
- Expect numerous behind-the-scenes enhancements to streamline our operations.
Additional Updates for April (mid-April)
-
Fee Restructuring:
- Minimum fee increased from $20 to $35 (we know, not the best news).
- 1% Refund Fee: Applied when processing refunds.
- 5% Dispute Resolution Fee: Only charged if funds are moved during dispute resolution. If no funds are transferred, no fee is applied.
-
SWAPD Rewards Payouts:
- We’re restructuring how we handle rewards – more details coming soon.
-
Relocation to Canada:
- This move brings easier crypto payments, no VAT (unless you’re a European company), and new payment options like Apple Pay, G Pay, BTC, ETH, SOL, and even a few meme coins for fun.
-
Improved ID Verification:
- We’re transitioning ID verification to SumSub.com. This means we will no longer store new member IDs, and the process will include mandatory face scans for added security.
-
Additional Tools:
- Features promised months ago (like the seller success ratio) are finally being released.
-
KYC/KYB Compliance:
- As required by Canadian law, we will adhere to KYC/KYB regulations. This means keeping records of clients’ names and addresses. In the coming weeks, buyers and sellers may need to complete their profiles before proceeding with transactions.
Why These Changes?
We understand that some updates may not be popular, but we’re committed to being the most legitimate platform in our space. Compliance with laws and banking regulations ensures that you continue to enjoy convenient features like invoices, bank wires, and credit card payments.
Thanks for sticking with us as we grow and evolve!
