How are skills traded?
Trading is done in units of exchange which we call 'Oaks'. Members 'buy' these services and arrange a price with the person doing the work. The charge is in 'Oaks' (or a mix of Oaks and sterling). Members can transfer Oaks electronically via this website. The amount is then deducted form one account and credited to the other - all held on computer. Any Oaks that you earn are spendable with anyone on the system.

Is it OK to use a mix of cash and Oaks?

if you have to buy materials, or if the job you are doing requires materials it is perfectly Ok to charge for these or get the person who has requested the job to pay for the materials.
