Number of swap partners:1
Description:

This is for the people who have been scammed on previous swaps.

It's international.

Guidelines:

Pick 1 swap that you have not recieved anything for, and place the link in the discussion section. Your partner will send you the thing from the swap that you did not recieve. You will each have 1 partner.

For anyone who has been scammed. Please message me first though if you have an explanation for a bad rating, or an unfair one. If you do not message me before joining about any 1's you have, I will ban you.

EDIT!!!

This isn't for swaps where you have to craft or handmake anything. I'm sorry, but this has been brought up to me, and I cant do things like this, and neither can a few of the swap members. If youd like to make a crafting one, be my guest :)

If you dont plan to rate or send anything, please dont join. I will be banning people if they have too many unexplained 1's, and any sketchy people.

if you do not plan to send anything or you do not plan to rate your partner for the work and time they have put into your package, dont join.

What a lovely idea.

firebirdgirl65 09/26/2007 #

I have been scammed alot but this is the one I think bothered me the most because I really spent alot of time on it and I did not get rated and the host knew that I got Tori Lee and she did nothing about it. The person I sent to also fell off the face of the earth. Here it is http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4382 Thank you for doing this. I can't wait to spoil whom ever I get.

I fortunately have only missed out on something twice. Sadly though one of those times was for the 'my other half swap' found here: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4039. I put so much thought and time into picking out perfect gifts based on what my swap partners partners liked and then my partner William missed out!

The list can be found of his interests/hobbies in the comment section of that swap. Thanks!

firebirdgirl65 09/28/2007 #

smokeandmirrors I hope I get you I was in that swap and had the most fun spoiling my partner so I hope I get you. It was neat shopping for a guy.

smokeandmirrors 09/30/2007 #

Hi firebirdgirl65! It was such a fun swap! I enjoyed buying different things (guy related rather than girl related) for once. It was great!

Got scammed in my own swap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first swap I hosted here I got Morgan aka Tori Lee. The swap was Technolust (INTL) - Get Your Geek On. It seems like a lot, but most of the things can be handmade.

i have only not recieved anything from one swap so far (although there have been others elsewhere). there was a similar private swap arranged for those that had sent in the first swap and for those that hadn't got anything the first time round sort of like this swap idea and i am pleased to say that i did get something then. Anyway my list is in the comment section.

devilyn 10/ 7/2007 #

please feel free to have a look in my profile for ideas of what i like as well as i guess my list is a bit specific so i don't mind if you send something that is in my profile.

firebirdgirl65 10/ 7/2007 #

Okay This was an after thought. I was wondering what will happen if I get a partner who has been flaked on a swap I can not do. Like something sewing or major artwork or something. Can we just spoil our partner from thier profile if we can't sew or anything like that?

smokeandmirrors 10/ 7/2007 #

yes, i wondered that too. I can't knit or do much artwork (as i don't have supplies or talent in that area) so what happens if i receive something like that?

iheartswap 10/ 8/2007 #

Can this include forum swaps as well? I have recently been scammed from a forum swap and am very disappointed. Actually I have not received several forum swaps :/ Please let me know, thankyou!

missvickieschips 10/11/2007 #

I guess I'll have to change the guidelines, cuz I cant do crafts for anything... so yes, I'll send a message to everyone letting them know that this is now just a 'pre-made-material-things-no-crafting-involved-swap' :P

Juliuslove28 10/11/2007 #

I know you are only suppose to list one but here are a few, by no means do I want my partner to pick more than one, but I thought I'd give them options, if you want me to choose just one let me know and I will repost just one swap that I got scammed on

Thanks! http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/6251

The swap I listed (hosted) above says to include a handmade item, but you don't have to make me anything. I would rather get something than nothing. I made that swap, so if you have any questions let me know. No need to make anything - I just want my package :(

shaynafay 10/12/2007 #

Not only did I get scammed on this one and my swap partner bailed, but the swap leader bailed also.

iheartswap 10/13/2007 #

missvickieschips 10/15/2007 #

Looks like I spoke too soon. I've been ripped off from my latest swap :/

http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/login/4937

And for the favourite colours... black, pink, purple, blue.. think blacklights :)

shaynafay 10/22/2007 #

If you get me as a partner and the swap above doesn't suit your fancy, I was also scammed in this one: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4498

The scammer tried to get back onto SB with a new identity. Theres a whole forum string about it. The nerve of some people!

sweetsugartree 10/27/2007 #

This is the swap that I did not receive on and then found that my partner no longer existed...

SewFun 10/31/2007 #

I've not received so many lately... where to start... Some are craft items, so I'll skip those, but here are two

Yellow & blue items http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/5866

Profile surprise: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/5751

Is it getting worse, the no sends, or is it just me getting 'lucky'?

stephadactyl 11/ 1/2007 #

I picked this swap: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/355

I had a few swaps where I got scammed and every time it was someone who was already a repeat offender. I contacted the host and never even heard back from her. I know this used to happen a lot and is why I stopped using the site. I thought I would give it another chance. I'm really excited about this swap.

stephadactyl 11/ 1/2007 #

In case my partner can't find anything for the one above, I also didn't receive a package for this swap: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/260

smokeandmirrors 11/ 1/2007 #

In case my partner can't find something for my above swap just pm me and i will think of another one!

Winnie 11/ 3/2007 #

Hi! This is the swap: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/1713 My angel package did not arrive either. :o( I dont mind if the pattern is original,copy, a magazine pattern or something similar. It can be in english or spanish. I dont have any allergies, just dont like scratchy yarn. I hope it was simple. =))

girlunderglass 11/ 3/2007 #

I've been wondering the same thing, SewFun. It seems like the no-sends are getting worse...

I was really upset about this one because I spent a lot of time picking out stuff for my partner and then she did not even rate me... not to mention that my partner didn't send AND she was the coordinator! :( So... this is it: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/5879

caracois 11/ 4/2007 #

I have been scammed quite a few times so I'm picking this one

http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/6014

Curious enough, I have been scammed on Angel Swaps before!

stacirose 11/ 5/2007 #

I've been "stood-up" a couple of times, but the biggest bummer was the Gift box! Swap.

http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/6961

Looks like my partner came, took, then left. Unfortunately, I was really looking forward to this one. I put a lot of care and consideration into my partner's goodies and was looking forward to that same thoughtfulness. Sigh...

This is a wonderful swap idea - thank you for putting it forth, and thank you all for filling in for those that have flaked! :P

Aerochik 11/ 7/2007 #

Thank you for doing this swap, as you can see I've been flaked on a "few" times. Twice on a spouse swap, ugh! To my partner, I don't want you to pick more than one but I thought I would give you the choice of what works best for you. Thank you in advance.

Here are the swaps I never received:
