Ana, I tried ebay but the fees are so high most of the time it’s not even worth it Shame, cos it’s a nice way to ged rid of stuff you don’t need while making some money too.

Dao: that’s very nice of you Shipping costs are way too expensive, lately they have increasd again here! I think it’s swapping for stuff that’s not available in your country or for high-end items that you couldn’t otherwise afford. But drugstore items that you can easily buy in any store aren’t worth swapping just for the high shipping fees.

Dee: thanks hun, you’re sweet, I’m blushing!
I would never swap/sell anything liquid that goes near the eyes, I wouldn’t wanna give anyone any nasty irritations. That’s nice, I’m sure your mom and cosuins appreciate it.

prettybeautiful: it’s not easy to find a buyer is it? On the forums I use, most people want to sell but not many want to buy lol.
It’s nice to give things to family and know they’ll enjoy them

I just got into swapping, but I would toss it away if it was mascara or eyeliner. Most of the time I ask my mom if she wants it or maybe give it to one of my cousins.

Most times I give them away to friends and family members whose skin/hair/etc may be more suitable. Otherwise, I'll just toss. I did swap once or twice though, but the shipping cost is high. .-= Dao´s last blog ..Hair of the Week =-.

jojoba: that’s nice of you. Usually I sell on forums. I open a topic with all the stuff I’m giving away and state that I either swap or sell. I prefer swapping because most of the items, although just once or twice, are used, and I feel weird selling them. But if the person interested in my stuff has nothing to swap, then I sell. I sold a couple of stuff on ebay too. But both the ebay and paypal fees are so high you barely have anything left once you pay them. Besides, you can only sell unused stuff on ebay.

Citrine: that’s nice that you find altenative ways to use the products, so they don’t get wasted. Selling used cosmetic isn’t allowed on ebay but people do it anyway. Most of them say so, so at least you know what you’re getting before you purchase. But if the seller states a product is new and it isn’t, you should report them and ask for a refund.
I like swapping with my blogger friends and have the chance to try stuff that’s not available here, but doing it on forums can be a real hassle. That’s why I don’t do it often. I usually just wait until I have quite a few things I don’t use anymore and then I need to give them away to make room for new ones.I don’t mind lightly-used stuff as most of them can be sanitised.

Shuu: me too, I don’t think selling very used stuff is ok. But most lightly-used stuff is good as it can be sanitised easily.

Nikki: that’s very nice of you, I’m sure your friends appreciate that
