i'm new on d2jsp, and i have read the trading FAQs, but i want to clarify the general procedure first before i make my first trade

1. create a new topic with my FT list
2. reply to a buyer's offer to accept the trade
3. push the request a mediator button
4. wait for mediator's PM
5. join the game according to mediator's PM (im gonna assume that the mediator also PM's the game info to the buyer also, right?)
6. give items to mediator
7. wait for gold to be sent to me

is this the general procedure to make a trade?

Looks right to me and yeah the mediator pms both parties.

Yah that is pretty much how it goes down.
