Swap categories: Postcards 
Number of people in swap:10

Type:Type 2: Flat mail
Last day to signup/drop:July 10, 2014

Number of swap partners:3
Description:

One of my favorite swaps to open is an envelope of postcards! So . . . for this swap you'll have 3 partners and you will send each of your 3 partners 3 postcards, for a total of 9 postcards in all.

The 3 postcards should be sent unwritten in an envelope.

Please check partner profiles for postcard likes/dislikes. Try to match likes and avoid dislikes. For instance, I dislike touristy postcards and I like cats, so I would love to receive 3 non-touristy cat cards. You are responsible to check partner profiles and avoid dislikes; if you can't match "likes" exactly, send something else nice, but if you send "dislikes" you will not have fulfilled the swap properly.

Participants must be rated for 7 Type2/Type 3 swaps, have a cumulative rating of 4.94, no recent '1' ratings, and be active the week before partners are assigned. If you DO NOT meet these requirements and would still like to join the swap please message me.

The last one of these pc swaps I hosted, I had a partner who sent me 3 touristy Florida cards and when I mentioned that my profile listed touristy cards as one of my dislikes, she said, "So you got some cards you don't like . . . I live in Florida and that's all I have!" I was really taken aback. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to send something they know their partner will love!

I think you need to decide if this is sender's choice or if you want people to list what they are looking for. My interpretation, despite your personal anecdote about it, is this is a sender's choice. I would send 3 postcards that I want to get rid of. If you want to require people to adhere to profile likes, you need to state it explicitly.

For example, "The postcards you send you partner must match the likes on their profile." Or something like that.

The way you have it phrased, it is a suggestion, so if you ended up with postcards you didn't like, that's just a bummer.

This is me speaking as someone who was going to join the swap until I read your description.

@savannahjan . . . I don't think this is the swap for you. For people who have a stack of things they "want to get rid of", my interpretation is that they're joining and sending out something they don't want (and probably nobody else wants either) in order to maybe snag something nice. My goal (as stated) is for partners to AVOID DISLIKES and HOPEFULLY match likes. This gives participants a little wiggle room while still avoiding dislikes.
