As a Webkinz collector, you work hard for your rare Webkinz items, whether they are exclusive items, event prizes or your pets’ PSIs. For this reason, it is very important that if you engage in trading these valued items, that you do so safely.
Recently, we are getting more and more reports of players trying to pull simple scams to trick players into trading their items for nothing in return. Let us be clear that such scams are not allowed and when caught, these players lose their access to KinzChat PLUS and may even lose their Webkinz account entirely.
SCAMS
SCAM 1: “I’ll send you eStore points for your item”
No they won’t. They will just take your items and you’ll get nothing. Trading for eStore points is not supported by our trading system, and it is not allowed. Report any player making this kind of offer immediately.
SCAM 2: “I’ll send you a Pet Code for your PSI”
No they won’t. It isn’t possible to send over a Pet Code anyway. And remember – Pet Codes are the keys to your account. If you use a Pet Code from someone you don’t know, they can use it to change your password and get into your account. Only ever use sealed Pet Codes, or codes directly ordered from the Ganz eStore. Report any player making this kind of offer immediately.
SCAM 3: “Give me your password and I’ll put a rare item on your account.”
No they won’t. What they will do is steal all of your rare items. This is a very common scam on other sites, including YouTube as well. If any player asks you for your password, they want to take your things. Please don’t fall for this, even if there are comments that say “This really works!”
RULES
To best protect your account and your items, please always follow these three simple rules:
RULE 1: Only trade items using our trading tables. This is the only allowable method of trading in the game. This system is secure and requires a double confirmation so you have two opportunities to make sure that you’re making the deal you want. Any other trade in the game is at your own risk and is not recommended.
RULE 2: KinzPost Gifting is not for trading. Gifting is just that, for sending gifts. If you expect something in return, it isn’t gifting. Again, see Rule 1 – only trade at the trading tables.
RULE 3: Never, ever give anyone your password. Not your cousin, not your best friend, not your classmate. Anyone who you give your password to has full access to your account and can do whatever they want on your account, including trading your items, gifting your items, or selling your items. You are responsible for everything that happens on your account, so if you gave someone access to your account, we cannot fix it if they do something that you didn’t want.
The security of your account is extremely important to us. Please use this information to keep your account and items safe, and please share this article with all of your friends who play Webkinz. The more players that know, the safer Webkinz World will be.
I wish i could trade again :/ My account turned free
Trade the calming waterfall. It is bought for 12000 kc and just in case they scam you you can buy another one. PS it is part of the Garden Oasis theme.

I got scammed quite recently I put up a rare bed and they put up a rare too so I thought yeah ok fine and just as I was clicking ok they they changed their Item for a green wall paint I’m so MAD now cause I lost my rare bed is there any chance of getting this back at all any help would be appriciated P.S I will NOT post the ww user on here so I do not tell everyone who they are.
It’s your fault you lost it, and even if Ganz sees your comment, they probably won’t care. I think Ganz needs to let people use KinzPost for trading. :/
I just realized, that comment was in 2015. XDDDDDD
Lol XD XD XD
