Now it has come to the Web in a big way. After all, it may be junk to you, but it could be treasure to someone else. If an item interests you, check out that person's Wants . Once an agreement has been made, the site supplies each side with the other's email address and the swappers arrange for shipping. Again, as with auction Web sites, none of the swap sites accept responsibility if participants do not hold up their end of the swap bargain.
Most sites offer ratings or some type of feedback system.
Before making a swap, consult that person's rating. If you get a raw deal, post a bad rating for the person who had made the swap with you. Conversely, if all went well, give them a positive rating.
