Good luck, Colleen! (I realize you may not answer until you find time to play with it again.)

>> But the problem is...... It still says I have no seeds listed,

Which of these two lists has none listed? Or are both empty?

There are two closely-related lists, and I have to stumble around a little each time I go back to it.

There is "YOUR Plant List", which you can get to from your profile:

in your profile, click on "There are XX plants in Agoo's plant list":

(I always add to MY Plant List from the Plant Database, so other people can see what I "Have" or "Want", from the database. (These "Have" and "Want" categories are outside the swapping system, and do not mean you are offering them for trade in a seed swap.)
================================

Now, Your SWAP List is different, and you have to add items TO Your SWAP List. One way to do that is to click on the "triangle made of three blue arrows that look like a recycling icon" in "YOUR Plant List" (above).

Another way is to get into Your SWAP List and just manually type in names. If the website finds what you're typing and tries to auto-complete your entry, you might permit that since it will group "the database name" alphabetically near some other names for that variety.

Your SWAP List looks like this:

I usually get there by using the website menu
"Tools & Apps" |
Seed Swaps |
"DND's ALL SEEDS SWAP (Int'l) - #3" |
" Manage your own swap list"

To be seen by an individual swap, after adding them, you still need to mark them "Ready", and enter a # of packets offered, and also check the big green check mark.

Fortunately or unfortunately, once you find all the right buttons to click, it's so easy that it's hard to remember exactly how from one swap to the next.

My only problem is FINDING items in my swap list after adding a few pages. Since common names are all overt the map, alphabetization doesn't help as much as you might think.

I like to go to the page "Access the full tradelist for this swap", then filter on "RickCorey". Then filter on a genus name.

THEN I can see what I have in my list.

Edited to add:

The THIRD related list is "THE Swap List" for the entire swap. That's what other swap members will see and pick from.

After you have them in YOUR Swap List, you still need to mark them "Ready", and enter a # of packets offered, and also check the big green check mark for a specific seed swap like DND's #3..
