Description:

EXTENDED UNTIL WEDNESDAY. SORRY!

This will be an ongoing weekly QUICK swap where we purchase 1 item from our partners Etsy wishlist and have it directly mailed to them. Until we get tired of these, I will host 1 ending each week.

If you are like me you have lots of little items on your Etsy favs that even though they are under $1 you still don't buy for yourself (even though you LOVE them).

Those of you who don't have little items on your list should consider the following items that can be bought for under $1:

-postcards -stickers -craft supplies -notecards -magnets -buttons -pins -earings -charms -beads -zines -used stamps

Try to get at least 10 items $1 or under on your list. The more options your partner has to choose from the better. This swap is a cheap swap, spend $1 or less on an item and pick an item with low shipping.

I don't want to have to ask for Angels, so don't sign up unless you will send your partner an item! Also, make sure you have items with reasonable shipping charges. If EVERY item on your list is $1 but the shipping is $10 each, that's too much.

Newbies are welcome to join, even those without a rating. You must have a rating of 4.8 or above, with NO 1's or 3's within the last 3 months. Swap CLOSES on Fridays and you must PURCHASE BY MONDAY.

PROBLEMS WE HAVE BEEN HAVING:

People don't have an Etsy wishlist on their profile. Please make sure you have your Etsy wishlist on your profile. Log into your Etsy acct, at the top left corner you will see "favorites". Click it! On the right side will be an orange "share" button. CLICK IT! Copy the link. Edit your Swapbot profile, click on add link and paste this in there.

Also, be sure to have AT LEAST 10 items $1 or under, with REASONABLE shipping charges. $1-2 is great, $3 shipping is still ok, anything over that is asking to much for $1 swap.

I WILL BE CHECKING BEFORE PARTNERS ARE SENT OUT. No Etsy wishlist? Don't have 10 items $1 or under on that list? SORRY but I will have to take you out of the swap and you will have to wait until the NEXT swap to particpate.

Feel free to leave link to your Etsy shop below!

I have one quick question....is it OK to sign up to have a digital collage sent that is $1.55 if there is no shipping charge? That's cheaper than any $1 item with shipping. Thanks!

Im sry but im not sure what an etsy shop is ^^' could someone explain to me please. id like to maybe participate ^^. nub lol

BranSews 02/21/2010 #

YES isabellasnow I think that is fine.

CANDYCORE- www.etsy.com Like ebay but it's homemade or craft supplies. You can set up an online shop and sell the stuff you made. FOR this swap, you pick 10 items that you LOVE and add them to your Etsy wishlist. You need to sign up for a free account, sign in, and then when you find something you want click on "add to favorites".

I have favorites that are downloads so if you should get me as a partner just send me a message for my email address and you save on postage.
