Hello!  

Q: So, are you new to the swap center or would like to start swapping or selling some stuff? 

A: Below are the "general rules" for swapping on MakeupTalk.  

Please take the time to understand, read and familiarize yourself with the rules for the buying and selling forum. By registering and using the MakeupTalk Swap classifieds, you have agreed to our rules.

Requirements to post in the Buy Sell Trade forum:

  • Must be a member of Makeup Talk for at least 5 days.
General guidelines:
  • Primary Terms of Service applies to the B/S/T forums.
  • Please be respectful of your fellow members. Do not use profanity in these listings, and please do not sabotage any seller threads. 
  • MakeupTalk will not become involved in disputes between sellers, traders and/or buyers. MakeupTalk moderators, administration and/or the owners of MakeupTalk will not become involved in any problems or disputes between sellers and buyers. All trades, sales and purchases from other members are all at YOUR OWN RISK. You may report members to the MakeupTalk staff if the items seem to be counterfeit as we have a zero tolerance for counterfeit (fake) items to be posted on MUT.
  • Posting in the B/S/T forums is a privilege not a right and those privileges maybe revoked if there are serious, legitimate, complaints made by members.
Sellers:
  • Feedback. When you are selling/trading items, keep your feedback in the back of your mind. Those feedback scores helps keep records of who did what trade with which person and whether the  trade was good or bad.
  • One Topic: You can use one classified topic to sell or trade multiple items.
  • All posts should have full descriptions of the items in the body of your listing.
  • Posts must have images of products. Please post your images of both the front and back of products. Stock photos not allowed except for comparisons.
  • Items must be in your actual possession to be sold, traded or swapped on MUT.
  • You may NOT use the B/S/T forums to sell Avon, Mary Kay or any other products via an offsite ordering system or link to auction sites such as EBay or sites like Amazon Marketplace.
  • You may NOT use the B/S/T forums to sell, trade or swap counterfeit ("replica") items. Sellers found to be selling, trading or swapping counterfeit products may have their posting privileges immediately revoked.
  • Please do NOT delete any information such as images or the prices when you close your thread. If the post has multiple items and individual items are sold simply edit your post and write *SOLD* next to the item you no longer have.
  • Please state your terms clearly including but not limited to if you are willing to ship internationally and how you will ship the item(s) out.
  • If you run a swap list, please keep it as current as possible.
  • Do not list items for sale on other sites.
  • Business owners do not use MakeupTalk to sell your items or link to your site. If you wish to sell or advertise on MakeupTalk please contact us for more information on how to sell or advertise on MakeupTalk.
Buyers:
  • Please leave feedback on anything you buy, trade for swap. Feedback scores help us keep track of those with negative reputations and helps us in the event we have to revoke a buyer's posting privilege.
  • Please be mindful when leaving negative feedback.  Only leave negative feedback only if the items you received were counterfeit or not as described or pictured. If the seller or trader makes a firm attempt to make the situation correct, please note that.  Please do not use profanity in member feedback. If payment or a swap was initiated, but item was not received within two weeks of the original confirmation of purchase or trade, please contact seller or trader first before leaving negative feedback. If item was internationally sent please allow up to six weeks if sent SAL (surface air lifted) or similar shipping as it is the slowest method to mail (and without tracking).
  • If wrong feedback was left accidentally, please do not add another feedback comment, instead contact a member of the administration team or the Community Manager to correct the wrong feedback.
All Users:
  • Our trading/selling/swapping rules are very simple, if used correctly.  We ask that you do not take advantage of the system  Any abuse or rule breaking during the use of the buy/sell/trade section may have your privileges removed.
Please post any questions about this in our support forums.

How to creating a swap list in the subscription box swap section!General Shipping Guidelines
  • About 2 weeks domestic (US)

  • Purchasing shipping insurance is recommended.  UPS insures ever package to 100 min.
Remember to possibly give a little cushion time for special circumstances, i.e. someone was sick, had a personal/ family emergency of some sort, etc. but they were still in communication w/ you to let you know of the delay.
Happy Swapping/Buying!  :)
