Everything you need to start trading with DreamPairs.

A Search starts from one card you can offer. Then you choose one or more cards you'd accept in return.

In short:

one card to give, one or more cards you'd accept.

Every trade stays 1 card ⇄ 1 card

Choose the duplicate you can give and list the cards you'd accept in return. From there DreamPairs starts looking for the right combinations for you.

Each Search starts from one card you offer. To offer another card as well, open a second Search.

Yes, and it's the better choice: the more cards you list, the more useful opportunities DreamPairs can find for you.

Yes. You can list cards from different albums in the same Search.

It already works today.

If you have 6 copies of Fresh Picks you don't need 6 Searches:

the same Search

keeps looking for opportunities for the copies you have.

Fresh Picks ×6

→

1 SEARCH

→

more possible opportunities

Every trade stays simple: 1 card ⇄ 1 card. Each completed trade uses one copy (6 → 5 → 4 …) and the Search carries on with the rest.

Every day you can open up to

10 new Searches

. The copies of the card you offer don't count: six copies are still one Search.

And the opportunities DreamPairs finds with people you've already completed a trade with don't use up your 10 new daily Searches.

You can update the cards you'd accept while the Search keeps looking.

The card you offer stays the one you published the Search with: to offer a different one, open a new Search.

Your Search keeps working. There's no need to recreate it just because an Exact Match isn't there straight away: while the Search is active, DreamPairs keeps looking for compatible opportunities.

A Search stays active for 48 hours: that's the time DreamPairs spends looking for opportunities for you. If you don't send any request in that time, the Search moves to Expired and stops looking.

It isn't a penalty: you can relaunch it or create a new one whenever you like, with the same cards or different ones.

If you send a request while the Search is still active, that request gets its own full 24 hours: the Search expiring doesn't cut it short. And an opportunity on a Gold card found through a Search isn't lost when the Search expires.

Just stop that Search: you can always open a new one with a card you actually have.

Gold cards have one extra rule: see

chapter 06

.

When you no longer want to look for that card, you can stop the Search at any time. Stopping it yourself withdraws any requests still pending from that Search.

Expiring on its own is different: a request you've already sent keeps its original 24-hour deadline, without being cancelled or cut short.

You can propose the trade whenever you like: the request only goes out if you decide to send it. Seeing a Match doesn't start any countdown.

The request sets out the proposed trade: the card you give and the one you get.

Before it goes out, DreamPairs checks that the opportunity is still available, so your proposal starts from the latest information.

Sending the request starts a single

24-hour

window. Within those 24 hours the other person accepts and the two of you complete the trade. If nobody accepts by the deadline, the request closes and you can keep looking for other opportunities.

You can have up to

10 sent requests

pending at the same time.

No, there's only one window. The 24 hours start when you send the request and don't reset when the other person accepts: acceptance changes the state, not the deadline. If they accept two hours after you sent it, about 22 remain; if they accept at twenty hours, about 4 remain. The limit of 10 pending requests is about how many proposals you can have open, not about time.

DreamPairs takes you into the space dedicated to your trade: the agreed cards, the Trade status and a chat just for the two of you.

You've already traded once. DreamPairs looks for your next opportunity too.

After a completed trade, DreamPairs keeps looking for useful new combinations between your cards.

Exact Matches and, where it makes sense, Strong Alternatives. The distinction stays the same: an Exact Match is a two-way match, a Strong Alternative is a possibility to explore.

No. Your 10 new Searches stay available.

Opportunities with people you've already traded with don't use up one of your 10 new daily Searches.

DreamPairs shows you that you've already traded together, alongside the reviews and completed trades on their profile.

And it keeps looking for new opportunities between you.

They're the people you've completed at least one trade with.

It isn't a Match, it isn't a pending request and it isn't a friendship: you become a Trading Partner only once a trade has actually gone through. Keep Matching, by contrast, is the mechanism that keeps comparing cards and can surface a new opportunity later, including with them. They don't get a fast lane: the only difference is that an opportunity between you doesn't use up one of your 10 new daily Searches.

Keep your collection up to date by marking what you have, which are your duplicates and what you’re missing.

From there DreamPairs keeps surfacing useful trading opportunities. In short:

you update your Album, DreamPairs keeps looking.

Among the people you’ve already traded with — your Trading Partners — and across the community.

Opportunities with people you've already traded with don't use up one of your 10 new daily Searches.

A card goes into your album once the trade is complete. The path is: missing → Match → Trade → trade completed → card obtained → the album moves on.

Yes.

In a Search you can list stickers you’d accept from different Albums too, and your Album keeps the whole collection up to date.

There are two ways and you can combine them.

With screenshots: add images of your sets and DreamPairs helps fill the Album in. It’s the fastest way.

Manually: you mark what you have, what you’re missing and which are your duplicates. You have full control.

You can switch between the two and update your Album whenever you like.

People, not single stickers.

For each person you see how many stickers they have that you need and how many you have that they need. That’s what a Match means: what the two of you can give each other.

From there you can open the Match and decide whether to propose the trade.

No. A partial Album already produces Matches.

The stickers you’ve already added take part right away. The parts you haven’t added yet simply can’t be compared — they aren’t treated as missing stickers.

The more complete your Album, the more opportunities DreamPairs can find for you.

Yes, and that’s normal.

When you or the other person update an Album, DreamPairs recalculates compatibility. A Match can appear, change or stop being reciprocal — for example if you both filled the same gaps.

Two different things, worth keeping apart: a partnership with someone you've already traded with doesn't expire, while a single Match opportunity lasts as long as it's reciprocal. The person stays, the opportunity can change.

You can have the same opportunity with several people at once.

When you complete it with one of them, your album changes and DreamPairs recalculates: that specific opportunity, if it's no longer reciprocal, disappears from the others.

The people stay, though. If there's still another card you could trade with one of them, they remain among your Matches: the opportunity disappears, not the person.

No. The 48 hours apply to Searches only.

An album has no expiry: it stays there and keeps working. And a Match that comes from your album has no fixed lifetime: it stays available as long as the compatibility works both ways.

From there the usual rules apply: sending starts a single 24-hour window, inside which the other person accepts and you complete the trade.

Before you send there's no countdown at all: time only starts counting after you send.

If a request that started from an album Match expires, that request closes but the album keeps working: DreamPairs recalculates and, if the compatibility is still reciprocal, the opportunity can come back. You don't need to create a Search.
