Thread: I will NEVER swap again! Any suggestions on what I can do??

Started 1 year, 5 months ago by amanda1210
This is about jymware015 from MakeupAlley.com I sent her two eyeshadows for a swap, and she NEVER sent me my product while she got hers over two weeks ago! Now she is not even a user and I am very upset especially since that was my first swap ever, and I am NEVER EVER SWAPPING AGAIN because of this! She at first wanted EVERYTHING on my swap list (3 mac eyeshdaows, and 2 ulta shadows) for one ...

I'm sorry babe. Swapping can be a bad experience. I had swapped a brand new Clinique e/s for a mini lipgloss (which she failed to mention...I know because it came as a set of 3 lipglosses in UD). I felt cheated. I guess, now I just do sales on here because you get payment first and send product second. Are you still looking for that honey uD deluxe e/s? PM me....I will give it to you....

Hey shy thats awfully kind of u! Amanda that sucks .. if u want to buy and swap here as lot of users here have excellent feedback

Thank you for sharing your story with me about how you were also treated unfairly in a swap. I will PM you in a minute... I can't believe how messed up people can be. I use to be an "only-selling" kind of person but figured that some stuff just wont sell so I should try swaping, but nope, never again, well atleast not at MUA , but I know all of the girls here are SO kind!

Nope nope nope, dont quit. I am sorry that happened, and the same thing happened to me where I had a member lie and say that something I sent her was broken I requested pics, she said she didnt own a camera, yet posted FOTD 's here, lol Long story short, she gave me a negative, kept the palette and deleted her account. But there was a lesson to be learned that I hear the girls ...

it happend to me once or twice but i still love to swap if you had a bad experience once it doesnt mean that it will happen again

I'm sorry that happened to you, there are bad people out there! It's been suggested to swap only with vets. Is that fair? I'm a new swapper. I'm willing to ship first isn't that enough? I have tons of feedback on ebay and have been more than generous and doing everything right as far as I know. Is it fair to not swap with me b/c there are a few bad apples out there? Back to the matter at ...

I'm sorry that happened to you! Don't swear off swapping entirely, just be more careful and try to swap with established members who have great feedback. Two users here also had trouble with the same person: mac_cosmetics: MUA swaplifers!

Yeah it sucks but you have to be careful and you have to know what you are doing Always swap with vets first, they will never be any trouble. But if you are new, and you swap with someone new, prepare to be swaplifted

Thank you guys for sharing your experiences! Wow angie I can not believe that someone swaplifted you of all those items. You must have been so upset! What a horrible person! I seriously don’t understand how people can spend so much time and effort on figuring out how to cheat people. What makes me sick is that she is such a good con artist... when I told her to ship out her items on the same day that I shipped out mine she replied "...

Tokens are awarded on MakeupAlley. It is feeback, just like on eBay where you end up with a % of positive tokens. After the swap is completed you award a positive, negative, or neutral. People usually award both Negative and a Neutral at the same time. The neutral does not additionally lower the feedback score, but it allows you to type out an explanation of why you left the Negative. Negative tokens only allow for a selection of...

And ebay feedback is not swap feedback because it has happened where someone gave a ebay name and it wasnt even theirs. In short, the blind shouldnt lead the blind, that's what two noobs sometimes do....

Re: I will NEVER swap again! Any suggestions on what I can do?? Swaplifters are sick people. I mean... come on? - it's used make-up people! NOT GOLD! Some established swappers can always turn bad as well. I swapped with a gal one time (being a noob I figured 400+ tokens was a safe bet) and got ripped off harsh... a few weeks later people were coming out of the woodwork left, right and center. Her name was 'Sherlyntan' or...

But my question is: Are people so broke that they will steal make up? If people are so empty of money (can you say that in english?), that they could not afford any make up, why don't they just ask for it? There are plenty of souls out there that are generous and would help them out.

Are you serious? What's the point of having them then?
