TENNO SAFE TRADING TIPS:
Trading with your fellow Tenno is a large part of the Warframe experience. While most players use the trading system with honest intentions, there are some players who do not. To help protect yourself from scammers, please be aware of the following:
- GENERAL RULE OF THUMB: Always double, triple-check that you will be receiving what you and the other player agreed upon. It never hurts to be extra cautious, Tenno!
- Trading UI Changes: If a player changes something you will be notified instantly. You will then need to re-check to accept the changes before proceeding with the trade.
- “Platinum Glitches”: A player might offer to host a “Platinum Glitch” with the promise that it will double your Platinum. They will ask you to enter the desired amount of Platinum you wish to double in the Trade UI. Since “Platinum Glitches” do not exist, the player may complete the trade and leave with your platinum. Take extra care of checking the platinum amount before moving forward with the trade. The amount you confirm in the trading UI will be the amount you receive (even if told otherwise).
- “Founders Codes”: Codes to unlock Founders' content in Warframe do not exist. Refrain from trading with players that are offering items/codes that have not been announced or made available by Digital Extremes.
- Non-Warframe Item Trading: Trading in-game items for non-game items (including cash) is a violation of the Terms of Use/EULA, and can lead to your account being banned. If the items can't be traded within the Trade UI, it is not a supported trade.
- Genetic Imprint Trading: Please be aware that it is possible to check the breed and visual qualities of the Imprint you are receiving by selecting the “VIEW OFFERED IMPRINTS'' option in the Trade Menu. Make sure to always check the Imprint you are receiving is the correct one before completing the trade!

Please be aware that once the trade has been completed, it cannot be reversed, be careful out there!
A Note on "Real Money Trading" and "Special Deals"
You might see players (either in-game or on various websites) offering special deals on discounted Platinum. Note that these Platinum sellers are not legitimate: please visit our website for a full list of authorized Platinum retailers.
Please also note that the in-game trading system is intended only for equitable trades between players, not for trading large amounts of Platinum between accounts. If you purchase your Platinum from a legitimate source, it will be deposited directly into your account i.e. you will not need to provide access to your account to anyone, nor will you need to make a trade to receive it.
And while we are always happy to see how generous Tenno can be with each other, we strongly advise that you approach any deals that seem too good to be true with caution. If a player you barely know offers to “give” you a large amount of Platinum in exchange for relatively valueless items, there’s a good chance the Platinum was not legitimately obtained (for example, it might have been stolen from another player’s account, or it might have been purchased using fraudulent credit card information).
If you have purchased Platinum through an unofficial 3rd party site or from another player, there’s a strong chance it was also obtained in the manner described above. Should an investigation find that you received Platinum from one of these fraudulent sources, it can and will be removed from your account.
With that said, the vast majority of players who use the trading system are honest and respectful, and you should not hesitate to trade with them. In the rare event that you find yourself unwittingly caught up in one of these situations, please contact Warframe Support and we will be happy to work with you to resolve the issue and get you back into the game as soon as possible.
Account Sales and Purchase
A final topic to cover is the sale or purchase of accounts. A Warframe account may only be accessed by its account creator - the transfer/sale/purchase of a Warframe account not only might result in the account being suspended - but you could easily find your fancy new Warframe account being reacquired at any given time by its original owner! The original owner of an account will have a great deal more knowledge about the account than you and if they contact support claiming that their account was stolen, it is likely to be returned to them - leaving you with nothing.
Any account that has had its login info shared cannot be considered secure, so never share your account info with any other players, and conversely don't be asking your friends for theirs. Consider a situation where a group of players is sharing an account: any disagreement within the group might result in one of those players trying to obtain sole control of the account by either changing its password or contacting support and suggesting they are the original owner and the other players are invaders. The only safe option is for that group of friends to each have their own account to play the game. Always remember, friends, don't share friend's accounts!
If you are concerned about a potential leak of your login info, feel free to change your password and contact Warframe Support so we can help ensure your account is locked down as securely as possible and assuage any fears you might have in this regard.

Q: How can I invite my friend to Trade if they are not in my clan?
Friends that you wish to trade with do not need to be in your clan. Simply invite them to your Dojo via Friends List, using the context menu by clicking their name in chat, or by using the /invite [name] chat command.
Q: Does a person need to be on my friends' list to trade with?
The person you are trading with does not need to be on your friends' list. You can trade with anyone that is in the Dojo with you, regardless of how they entered the Dojo.
Q: Can I talk to the person whom I’m trading with?
Yes, there is a private chat window for the person you are directly trading with.
Q: Can I cancel the Trade at any time?
Yes, you can cancel the trade anytime by leaving the Trade screen.
Q: What if my game crashes in the middle of a trade?
If your game crashes in the middle of a trade the other player will be notified that you have left. They will then have the option to cancel the trade, or resume it when you come back.
Q: What is Trading Tax?
Trading Tax is a Credit fee applied to all items you receive in a trade. Trading Tax is based on the rarity of the items you will receive. The rarer an item is, the more you must pay in Trading Tax. The Trading Tax each player must pay appears below the player's profile image on the Trade screen and will update as the items in the trade change.
Q: What is Clan Trading Tax?
The Clan Trading Tax is an additional tax that is optionally set by a clan. It is calculated as a percentage of the normal Trading Tax. When a trade is completed, the credits from the Clan Trading Tax will go in the hosting clan's Vault.
Q: How do I set the Clan Trading Tax?
On the "Trading Post" screen click the "Edit Clan Tax" button, and enter a tax percentage between 0 and 100. You may change the Clan Trade Tax rate only if you have the "Treasurer" role.
Q: How many times can I trade per day?
The number of trades that you may complete in a day is based on your Mastery Rank (with a daily bonus of +2 for Founders). Your trades remaining will be “topped up” at the same time your Syndicate and Focus points are refilled each day.
Q: Can I trade for items or services not listed in the Trade interface?
No, trading is restricted to what is listed in the trading UI. Players trading for items or services not listed in the trading interface face removal of trading privilege, account suspension, or permanent banning.
Q: Can I create contests with giveaway prizes that are awarded via Trading?
Please do not do this. While your intent may be innocent, if your contest will rely on the Warframe Trading or Gifting systems to send items or Platinum to players directly we must HIGHLY discourage this. This is not the intent of these systems and there is little to differentiate this sort of contest from possible fraudulent or illegitimate transactions between parties.
Contests from the Warframe Community team (Dev Streams, Prime Time, etc), Fansites, and partners will use the code redemption system and are the only sanctioned method of conducting a contest with players. Digital Extremes does not offer support for unsanctioned giveaways or contests.
Q: I'm worried about receiving Gifts I do not want from Random people. Is there any way I can prevent this?
There are gift settings you can change in the Options menu that will limit the people who can send gifts to your account. The options available in your Gameplay settings tab are "All, Friends Only, or None".
