I'm sorry to hear this Melanie! I'm guessing you haven't received an email back from them - have you tried to contact whoever it was that started the swap? Maybe they can help or know what's going on! I know with my darn 'ol computer with a brain of its own...it likes to swallow up just "some" of my emails and I never get them! Not saying that's the case here but a possibility! Good luck to you and I hope you receive your swaps soon!!!

I've had the samething happen to me twice and now I don't barter anymore, I don't like being taken of advantage of. I wonder how someone that is willing to stiff someone on a barter can stand to show their face again on the message boards but they do. Makes you wonder.

I know there was something on here about that not too long ago, but I can't remember where it was. Alee would probably know. :)
Sorry to hear that barters aren't working out for you. It puts a bitter taste for them when they are not followed through.
Not all are like that. I hope that it wont dampen your bartering spirits.

I've been in your shoes. It totally bites! I finally got my last bartered item, but it left a sour taste in my mouth. And to make matters worse, this round of secret sisters has left me 1/2 high & dry. Some people are just no fun!
I hope it gets resolved for you soon!

I'm sorry to hear that you girls have experienced this. It's a shame that people would be deceitful and selfish.
Is there a list of unfaithful farmgirls? Just curious. I think if someone is not going to be faithful then it should be made known.

Sometimes life throws us oppertunities to show "US" who we are. It isn't about other people and what they do or don't do, but maybe more about who we are, and who we choose to be when others do things to us disappoint us. And others will disappoint us. But when I think of all the great and positive things that come out of this connection I would rather spend time focusing on them.... and less time on the ones that you can't change.
I know that anytime there is $$$ involved emotions go deep, I get that. But I also believe that, what goes around comes around. And who we choose to be in the midst of it.....comes back to us.
I never like to see anyone hurt or taken for granted... but I have also learned that I can choose to "make lemonade".

| I'm going to guess that 1/3 of the barters I've done on this site, I have not received what I was supposed to. . .but hope springs eternal :) so I still like to barter. |

I have also done some swaps and barters that have not been reciprocated. I have been disappointed but chose to let it go. I don't know all the reasons why they haven't been reciprocated.
I also have had things get lost in the mail and I didn't know for quite a long time that my partner did not receive them. I guess things just happen and we have to go with the flow.
