ATTENTION ALL NEW MEMBERS OF PLANTSWAP GROUP:
Those who are new members of the group are advised to
refer to the Great Trader List (below) when seeking out trades,
until they have established themselves as Great Traders,
(after 5 successfully completed trades).
The reason for this is that newbies trading with newbies
are two people who essentially have NO track record of trading
in the group, yet. We have had instances of new people coming
into the group to set up trades with other new people,
and then unsubscribing, leaving several people hanging,
with their end of the trade having been sent, but not
receiving theirs. If you are new, and trade with someone
who is already listed on the Great Trader List, your
chances of this occurring are minimal, as those whose names
are listed on the Great Trader List have worked hard to
establish themselves as fair and honest traders in the group,
and it is highly unlikely that they would want to jeopardize
thair standing by cheating a new person out of their trade.
The bottom line is, if you are a newbie, ALWAYS protect
yourself by trading with someone in the group who has a
track record....those people's names are listed on the
Great Trader List.
WHO SHOULD NEWBIES TRADE WITH? THE NAMES
LISTED BELOW -- (AND WHICH MAY BE FOUND IN OUR GROUP'S
FILES) -- ARE MEMBERS WHO HAVE COMPLETED
AT LEAST 5 SUCCESSFUL TRADES AND ARE NAMED TO
THE GREAT TRADER LIST (BELOW):

Newbies should especially beware of lurking members
who seek out trades from them by emailing to them privately
requesting a trade. If someone emails you privately asking
you to trade with them, ask them to post their request
OPENLY in forum, as that is our policy to protect all traders
from being scammed by those who try to hide their cycle of
cheating others out of a trade by working secretly "behind-
the-scenes" emailing privately. If the person is honest,
they should not have any problems posting publicly in the
group where everyone can see the activities of the other.
Also posting in the group publicly is required because it
stands as an archival record of who said what, who offered
what, and who agreed to what in a trade.
Scammers like to work secretively by emailing privately
because they can continue cheating others easily when no one
is aware of what they are doing.
The above measures are offered as a means to protect
traders from unscrupulous traders who will often email
honest traders in private to establish a trade.
MANY THANKS TO ANDREA & PAT GRAVEL for their
dedicated efforts to maintaining this awesome list!!
May everyone continue to have fun trading and swapping
plants, seeds and cuttings in the group!
Hugzzz,
Mimi ( ZONE 11 - HAWAII ) God's in charge of flowers and seeds
and I'm in charge of all the weeds. |
