Firstly you will need a Bitcoin Cash wallet to send the BCH to, if you don't already have one you can try the Bitcoin.com wallet as that can support both BTC and BCH currencies.

Once you have a BCH address you can then use one of the many bitcoin exchanges available to trade.

The easiest way to trade would be with: https://shapeshift.io/#/coins

Thanks! I downloaded the mobile app for bitcoin com wallet. Is it normal that it takes so long in the "creating wallet" loading screen? Going on a few minutes here

No shouldn't take too long at all.

Cancel the download and try again.
Let me know how you go

Alright, I just tapped the screen and it worked. Im on shapeshift now, so for the destination I entered my new address from my new bitcoin com wallet. But what is "Your Bitcoin Refund Address"? Is that where I enter the address from my blockchain info wallet?

Ok great, if you are trading BTC for BCH then you MUST enter your BCH address as the address you wanf to receive the Bitcoin Cash to and the "refund address" is where you enter your BTC address should anything go wrong with the transaction and they need to return your BTC

Ok, shapeshift shows that my order is resolved.

But my bch wallet on bitcoin com still shows 0.00

Does it take a while to see the funds?

Oh never mind, apparently it didn't go through - I just checked my blockchain info wallet and the amount was returned. hmm, any ideas why?

Please follow up with Shapeshift.io regarding why the amount was returned, they are a different company to us so i unfortunately cannot help you with that.
My guess is what you sent was below the minimum transfer.
