Easy Ratings Swap

Hi - I'm new to Swap-bot :) I'm just wondering what a "full" profile consists of?

Likes, Dislikes, little about yourself, a wishlist would be great. That kinda thing. Have a look at other members to get a feel for a full profile.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I'm just starting with swapping on swap-bot so I don't have any ratings, would I still be able to participate? This seems like a fun and easy way to get established here. Thanks!

oooh this will be my first swap, how exciting !

i joined the swap. i don't understand about emailing the host.

cancel my message above. the profiles are just too detailed for me.i can't handle it. bye

I am looking forward to my first swap. Can someone tell me how to send a PM? I found it addressed in the forum but the answer said to go to a profile and under the name would be a contact me via swap bot link... I haven't seen any link, nor was I able to post my question on the forum itself (so apologies for posting here...) thanks in advance!

CollageCafe04: I couldn't PM when I first joined, either, but in another couple of days, I was able to. I was able to find the person's email on their webpage/blog and email them, directly, though. You might try that.

The only problem I can see it states one stamp but if international partner it will be more then one stamp no matter what. So what happens then?

Thanks Nekozet!

I would guess "one stamp" means one stamp of the denomination needed to send first class to where ever the envelope is going. Inside the US, that's a 44 cent stamp. From US to Canada or it's a 75 cent stamp, to Mexico 79 cents. From the US to any other international location, it's a 98 cent stamp. So even if someone gets five international partners (which is highly unlikely), the most they will spend on postage is less than $5.

Yes one stamp means that it just costs the same amount as a regular letter nothing more, now nothing is stopping you from sending more if you like just that you do not have too. If you are new with no swaps you can still join as long as you have a full profile.

It is highly likely that you will get 5 x international partners if like me you live outside of the USA. I'm from Australia and in all the international swaps I've had all of my partners have been from the USA so if you live outside of the USA expect to have 5 partners all from other countries or in my experience partners ALL from the USA. It's $2.10 to post a regular letter from Australia to the USA so for Australians this swap will probably cost $10.50 :) Unless you send Card Only and then you can post for $1.25, only for another couple of weeks though and then the price goes back up :(

so this swap started today, are we of supposed to of received an email with our partners for this swap or do we choose them ourselves? Just making sure I've not done anything wrong !

Hi Littleclouds ,we will probably get our partners names tomorrow . the sign up goes through today! MysticalMagic , thanks for that info on postage . I live in the US , I just sent some envies to Israel and Italy with regular stamps ?? hope they get it? guess I will know soon? :O(

Thanks a bunch for the postage information. Little clouds, tomorrow, you will select, "view partners I send to" up on the top right. I had no idea how to do any of this either, with my first swap. The host will click the "assign partners" button they get, and a computer randomly selects everyones partners.

ahhhh OMG I'm so glad I checked back because I kept thinking I will get an email telling me who my 5 were. EEK could of been a disaster but I'm on it now. Thanks peeps.

I just wanted to let my partners know, I will be a few days late on getting mine out. They will be going out on Thursday. That is the soonest that I am going to be able to get to the post office. I am sorry. They are all ready to go though, just have to get them down to the PO. :)

I couldn't get to the Post Office before it closed yesterday so I am sending mine out tomorrow, I AM SO SORRY!!!

This is turning out to be an awesome swap! Got 2 already and both were totally unexpected and delightful!

Hello. I rec'd the swap from someone. I have an address but 'NO NAME." It's a great swap but I don't know who sent it. I will tell yoy the swap cam from Medford Oregon. If, this is you please let me know so I can give you a rating. Hugs, Poem (Dec,15th 2009.)

There are 2 swaps I have not received from this swap then I find out the Swap Coordinator has dropped out too?? this is So sad. Makes me wonder how anyone stays around?

If anyone received an unlabeled envelope from Medford, Oregon, that would be me. Sorry I forgot to include a label inside! SherriB
