Garden Tower Defense trading FAQ

Does TradingKeep charge any fees?

No — TradingKeep is completely free. There are no fees and we never take a cut of your trades.

How does trading Garden Tower Defense items work?

It's item-for-item, player-to-player trading. You post the item you have — and the rolls it came with — plus what you'd take for it. Other players make offers, you accept the one you like, and you complete the trade in-game. No middlemen, no money.

Is any real money involved?

No. TradingKeep is item-for-item only. Real-money and gift-card offers break game rules and are banned here — report anyone who tries.

How does TradingKeep stop scams?

Several ways at once: trade-verified reviews so a trader's history is real, chat that renders every link as plain text so phishing can't land, a dual-confirm step on every trade, and a report system tied to visible outcomes.

What is a "trade-verified" review?

A review you can trust: it unlocks only after a completed trade that both sides confirmed. No drive-by ratings and no review-bombing.

Do my listings expire?

Listings stay live for 30 days and can be bumped every 6 hours to stay near the top. Done trading? Cancel a listing any time.

How do I trade in Garden Tower Defense?

First, unlock trading: you need 25 Victories — 25 map wins — before the game lets you trade at all, a requirement enforced since update v1.3.0. Once you're past the gate, there are three ways to trade: the Trading UI, opened from the Trade icon on the left of the screen, for direct player-to-player trades; Trade Matchmaking — via the button in the Trading UI or the Trade Matchmaking Stand in the lobby — to advertise or browse trades and teleport to partners across servers; and the Trading Plaza, a hub through a portal in the Lobby where every player can claim a free Trading Booth showing what they have and what they want. Agree on the trade first, add your items, double-check both sides in the window — trophy variant included — and confirm.

Can I trade in a private server?

Yes. Direct trading through the Trading UI works in private servers — the only feature unavailable there is Trade Matchmaking, which relies on the public cross-server pool of trade ads. So a partner suggesting a private server isn't automatically a red flag; just follow the same habits as anywhere else: agree the exact items first and re-read the trade window, trophy variant included, before you confirm.

Can I trade Seeds in Garden Tower Defense?

No. Seeds and Flowers — the in-game currencies — are not player-tradeable. What you can trade are the Game Pass gift items — x2 Presents, the VIP Gift, and x2 Seeds Gift — which count as ordinary items. Anyone offering to hand you raw Seeds or Flowers directly is describing something the game does not allow.

What do Garden Tower Defense values mean?

Values are a relative community scale: a community reference point, not a price. Since no currency changes hands in trades, values exist so you can compare one side of an item-for-item swap against the other. Some units in every rarity tab are still unvalued, so treat those as negotiable extras.

What are trophy variants?

Gold, Silver, Bronze, Glass, and Rainbow versions of units. Each variant is baked into the unit's name as a fully separate item with its own entry on the value list, so always check the exact name — variant included — when you compare, list, or accept a unit.

Which units are the most sought-after?

Exclusive units — event and limited releases, and by far the game's biggest category — sit at the top of the Garden Tower Defense trading scene, followed by Godly and Legendary units and the special Leaderboard units tied to leaderboard rewards. Units carrying the "Limited" tag can now only be obtained through trading, which makes them chase items in their own right. Check the community value list to see where any specific unit currently stands.
