Inexpensive Etsy Swap October

Inexpensive Etsy Swap #40!

(Update 10/7/15) PLEASE READ: Make sure you have at least 15 - 20 $3-5 dollar favorites that can be shipped to you. It also great to glance over your favorites and make sure the etsy shops are not on vacation. When the day comes and I check over everyone's favorites (on the day the swap sign up ends) and you do not have at least 15-20 $3-5 favorites active etsy swaps (owner is not on vacation) that can be shipped to you I will delete you from the swap. You have plenty of time to look over your favorites. The more you have the more choices your partner has. Sometimes etsy owners go on vacation and that leaves your partner with not many choices. So it is great to glance over your etsy faves the day before the swap. Thanks for understanding.

You will have one partner who you will send an item from their Etsy favorites. The price range for this swap is $3-$5 before shipping costs. Please have a Etsy link on your profile and have at least 15-20 $3-5 items so your partner will have plenty to choose from. Make sure there are at least 15 that can be shipped to your country.

This swap is international so keep that in mind before joining.

"This means that you could be partnered with someone who is internationally based. Just like anyone else, you are responsible for paying the shipping costs for the item(s) you are having shipped to your partner REGARDLESS of where the item(s) you chose are shipping FROM. Please do not ask your partner to choose items from their country so that YOU don't have to pay as much in shipping!!! Most people join these swaps and have items on their Etsy favorites from other countries because they can't get the items in their own country! If your partner does have items in their favorites that are from their own country, even better, but please don't join an internationally based swap if you are not going to be willing to pay the shipping prices."

I have received a few swaps through etsy where my partner has had the item sent to themselves and then resent it to me to keep shipping costs down so that is always a option but not required. Also you can ask the etsy shop owner to add a note for your partner to mention who it is from. I usually ask them if they can even just write the note on the receipt or even a sticky note would be great.

I will be checking profiles before assigning partners to make sure you have good ratings, no recent unexsplained bad ratings, a working etsy link, and at least 15-20 $3-$5 etsy favs that can be shipped to your country. You must also have completed at least 10 type 3 swaps.

So one $3-$5 etsy favorite before shipping to one partner. Please make sure all your etsy favs are up to date.

Happy swapping!
