Our First Trade Event Friday 5th to Sunday 7th 2013

[Former_Member]

- This trade and stay event starts 8am EST Friday 4/5, and goes through till 11:59pm EST on Sunday, 4/7 .

Please don't forget your manners! if someone convos you for a trade, please respond - even if they don't have anything you need or want. it's better to get a "no" instead of no response at all! Also note that not all shops will be trading this time around, so be respectful of that as well!

Both trading shops MUST “purchase” each other’s listing in order for the trade to be complete – and this includes blog/website advertising or reviews. You also need to ship in a timely manner - you need to treat your trades like sales! Bad trades will be treated like bad sales and reported to Etsy.

PLEASE do not change your prices to 0.20. THIS IS AGAINST ETSY POLICIES. If you do not want to adhere to etsy policy, then we ask that you NOT trade. This puts the team at risk of being shut down. We all pay our fees and would like to be able to continue to trade.


This is the beginning list, please add your name as the event goes on if you are interested in trading.

Feel free to post transactions here, to show trades. This isn't mandatory, but it is fun to see what everyone is trading for!

HOW TO TRADE!

Contact a seller you are interested in trading in, after they have replied to your conversation and both shop owners have settled on an agreed trade you must check out through Etsy.

Add the items of equivalent value (including shipping!) into your cart, and then check out using either OTHER or MONEY ORDER or CHECK payment. Any of these will work, since they basically do the same thing. Please treat this trade as you would a sale, ship items in a timely manner. Let the other person know what your shipping times, and if there is any problem or delay please contact the seller as soon as possible.

And of course, have fun! If you have any questions, please ask!

For fun, in the end we will see who has done the most trades!

Lori, I just wanted to say that the treasuries for your wishlist is a brilliant idea. Might have to steal that idea in the future, LOL!

[Former_Member]

I'm having fun window shopping so far. Can't wait to finalize my first trade. :-)

P.s. If anyone is interested in trading supplies for a finished product, I'm always looking for new supplies and I also make jumprings. :-)

I am in the middle if convos with two people right now and my phone is glitching. It won't send my responses. :-(

If I can't reply until I get home this evening, I'm sorry, but I am still interested.

[Former_Member]

Ps I have no idea why it will post on the forum no problem, but won't convo properly. :-(

Grrrrr frustration. :-/

[GartersByLori]

I'm about to head out to do grocery shopping and whatnot. So I won't be answering convos for a few hours. Will answer as soon as I get back :)

[GartersByLori]

Also I'm getting the supplies to make this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/94245369@N02/8603550933/in/photostream

I just wanted to say that I will ship to the states, but I don't currently have this listed as an option on many of my products. If you are from the usa, I'm still interested in trading so just convo me and I'll fix the listing you're interested in. :-)
