How to Trade Safely in Grow a Garden (Avoid Getting Scammed)
Only trade through the game's official trade window, never by handing an item over first and trusting a promise. You need a Trading Ticket, 100,000 Sheckles or 19 Robux, and an account older than 7 days to open a trade. Check every item in the window right before you accept, since a five second timer resets and forces both sides to re-accept whenever anything changes.

How the trade window protects you
Every time either player adds or removes an item, a five second timer starts and both sides have to accept the trade again, according to ScreenRant's breakdown of the system. That short delay exists so nobody can sneak in a last second swap and rush you into confirming before you notice.
Getting set up to trade
To open a trade you need an account older than 7 days and a Trading Ticket, which costs 100,000 Sheckles or 19 Robux. Only the player requesting the trade needs the ticket, and it is used up even if the trade gets cancelled, so do not send a trade request unless you mean it.
Scams to watch for
The most common tricks are a fake middleman who offers to hold both sides then disappears with everything, a claimed dupe on an ordinary pet to justify a bad price, and a last second swap to a lower value item right before you accept, according to GAGdata's scam prevention guide. Anyone rushing you to accept before you can check the trade window is a warning sign on its own. Never trade outside the official window and never cross trade into a different game.
