    Bigwardrobe tends to work this way.

    Swap offers:

    Whoeever has got the least feedback always sends first. So for example, you did a swap with me, I have 69 feedback, and you would have Zero. So therefore you would send first. When the person with more feedbacks recieved your item, yours gets sent. If you was both "newbies" it would be done that you would agree to both send at same time.

    Nothing to be worried about its just the swapping code of practise that the site owners put into play :)

    Would also say, until you've established yourself, anything you wouldnt want to loose please send recorded delivery. I've never had any problems on there, but its a site suggestion and it does work :)

    Normal practise is to post everything second class :)

    Paying for postage in a swap transaction - you both just pay for the item to get to the other person :)

    Cash offers
    This works like in a shop. Whoever is paying the money, pays the money first, then the swap item gets sent. With cash offers I always post recorded.

    With cash offers, typically postage is paid on top of the offer price. Would always suggest contacting the member to confirm whether their offer includes or excludes postage. Some people do it one way, others another. Wouldn't worry about cash offers just yet though, normally newbies dont really recieve many cash offers :)




    Hope this helps :)

    Hello,

    oh how I wish I was at your weight in your signature:)
  • HI Anglea and everybody,

    I did go in M&s today to try on some shoes that I will definitely buy if they go down in the next sale. They will match really well with an autograph bag I have.
    But I am so relieved that I haven't seen anything else in there that I like.
    I do read every post on here but I don't always post as I have a lot going on at work and home so please do not think that I don't appreciate all the lovely chat and support.
    You are all really lovely:):A
