I'm scared of all the rules on that board so I'm asking here! Just curious....what is trading? I have a ressie for two nights at a desirable location (at least I think) which I'm reluctant to cancel just yet. Is trading when you swap with someone else's ressie? Thanks for your help!
 
Trading can mean different things based on its context. I'm going to guess you are referring to the "DVC-Rent /Trade" board here on DIS? If so, "yes," I think you've got the right idea. Your intended trade could be either a different DVC reservation (different combination of resort/dates/unit size?) or for a reservation outside DVC.

Related snippet from the "DVC-Rent/Trade" board's sticky:
If you are a DVC Member wanting to trade a reservation at a DVC Resort, please submit a thread to be validated. We would suggest using "Trade Offered" as the title. This would be used by a DVC Member owning at resort A wanting a reservation at resort B and would be accomplished by finding another member willing to make that reservation at their Home Resort in exchange for a reservation at resort A or a transfer of points into their account. If a member has an existing reservation the request may only be made within 30 days of arrival.

If you are a DVC Member with a reservation (made using DVC points) for a non-DVC option wanting to transfer that reservation to another member in exchange for another reservation or a point transfer, please submit a thread to be validated. We would suggest using "Trade/Transfer Offered" as the title. This would be used when a Member has an existing Disney Collection, Concierge Collection or Adventurer Collection reservation and would like to trade that for payment made using a DVC point transfer or a DVC reservation. The existing non-DVC reservation needs to have an arrival date within 6 months.

If you are not a DVC Member, but have a reservation available at a condo or another timeshare to offer in trade for a DVC reservation, please submit a thread to be validated. We would suggest using "Non-DVC Trade Offered" as the title. The arrival date of the existing reservation needs to be within 6 months. You may only offer reservations at your home resort, the resort where you physically own. No RCI/II trades, and no resort system trades may be offered. These trades may only be for a reservation using DVC points. No cash reservations are allowed.
