Having re-visited the site I see some shares are set to only be traded in 2 or more units. Others 1 or more.

I've found that while sales slider works in units of 2, you can actually type the quantity 1 in the input box above the slider.
Hope that helps.

It doesn't for those which are pre-set for 2 units or more - you type in 1 but a box pops up saying minimum 2 or more - hence my problem.
But as I stated in my last post above, that problem can be circumvented by selling using the lower chart.

Payout recieved today.

All in all, my personal experience has been painless.

Odd, selling one share worked for both of mine, using the pop up dialog. Might depend on the share.
I noticed someone on the referrals thread saying

Everyone that I have seen so far has been worth between £15 & £100..

Just to clarify this my free shares were worth £10.58 & £11.17, so the minimum value seems more like £10.
Anyone had less than £10 from a free share?

Mine were in the £12-£15 range.

Also worth asking have any been worth more than £20, which is the most I recall seeing?

Some have posted to say shares of £80 received.

Tempted but not went ahead yet due to the Reddit feedback of people being charged monthly fees for inactive accounts.

I saw that, and reviewed the live trading FAQ's

• https://www.trading212.com/en/Frequently-asked-questions?cId=1

According to this a zero balance account will not be charged:

What is an inactivity fee?

The inactivity fee applies to accounts with no trades ​for a period of at least six consecutive months (180 days). ​This is to offset the cost incurred in making the service available, even though it has not been used.
Will you continue to charge me if my account balance is zero?

No.
How long will I be charged?

Your account will be charged until one of the following occurs:

• You close your account;
• You resume trading in your account;
• You make a deposit into your account.

But if you have a cash balance on your account or keep the free share, looks like you are charged after 180 days inactivity.

In which case people might need to be careful incase these free shares cause dividends to be paid?

IDeamOfFairies

Received a free share - waited the 3 days until able to sell

Tried to sell the share at 08.09 and got the following message
Your bonus share of DTE will be sold during the next 24 hours.


Then at 16.15 received the following message
Your order SELL 1 DTE was rejected.



So I'm left with a share I can't sell
