Commitments of Hosting
Hosts must be prepared for the time and financial commitment of hosting
a swap. Most players in the same country will send you a
SASE for their returns. However, international participants may not be able to do this. You should be prepared to cover some of the postage of returns to international participants. If funds are short, please limit the total number of participants in your swap rather than not accepting international participants.
Hosts are allowed to request only return postage from their players, either in stamps from the hosts country, stamps from the players country, well concealed dollar bills or PayPal.
Hosts who do not send out the cards received from swap participants will be asked to leave the site and permanently banned. If you are unable to fulfill your hosting duties, whatever the reason, just contact us and we will take over your swap for you and pay to get the cards from you to a new host. We do want to help if you're having a problem. Please don't run away with other peoples' cards.
Hosts are responsible for packaging and shipping cards in a manner that will minimize damage to returns due to rough postal service handling.
This includes: securing cards in the envelope so that they are most likely to arrive safely, by packaging them flat, even, and with proper postage. (Do not just toss them in the return envelopes!)
We recommend taping cards (in sleeves) to cardboard or to each other to ensure that they are flat and even.
We also require that all returns have return address labels and proper postage (please take your swaps to the post office to have them double check).
Hosts are expected to update members of their swaps in the thread at least once a week. This is so that all the members are aware of when their cards have arrived and so the swap doesn't appear to be inactive.
