Pay it Forward Swap

[LongCurlyTress]

I don't think you need to worry for bad iTrader rep unless you cheat someone or don't do your end of the bargain or otherwise brake some rules. Especially on the PIF, misunderstanding happened more times as ppl sometimes reply on the same tome or so. Most of the times ppl are benevolent and all dissolves in peace, it is not like ppl here are waiting for someone to make a mistake and immediately rush to give bad reputation

Thank you Zebra Fish. Unfortunately, my new current offer isn't very exotic or fancy, so it is not getting any interest and I feel badly and don't want to hold up the process.

It's all good, LCT.

LHC is not as busy of a place as other social media sites like Facebook or Twitter. Many members here do not check the site every day. Some do not even check it every week. So it may take some time for the right person to stop in & see an offer. That doesn't mean no one wants the offer. It simply means that the right person hasn't checked in yet. Sometimes PIF offers are claimed within minutes of being posted. Sometimes it has taken several weeks for the right person to come along & claim something. "Patience, grasshopper."

And for anyone wondering, most questions about how the PIF thread works can be answered by the very first post on the very first page of the thread, by Quasiquixotic.

Thank you! I just feel really badly for all the confusion regarding the Peacock ficcare that happened. It kind of took on a life of its own and I don't want to get into trouble here on LHC. I saw on the iTrader page that sometimes people get a bad "grade" and I certainly don't want that to happen.

I am sure someone will claim my current offer soon!

iTrader ratings are for giving feedback on a swap or a trade. If somebody accepts your offering, they can leave feedback for you just to give you a positive trader rating, but it's not meant for someone to say "this wasn't fancy enough, but I accepted it anyway and here is a bad mark" That isn't the way to rate sales or trades.

I noticed yesterday that you didn't have any ratings and I am going to leave you a positive one after you receive the item I sent (because positive ratings are good when you want to enter a summer/spring/seasonal/swap.)

I would never leave anyone a bad trader rating for something that I accepted in trade/swap! (unless it was a swap and they never fulfilled their end of the bargain purposely and maliciously, which is rare here)

Don't fret, sometimes the thread stagnates for a week or more until the right person comes along wanting/needing the items you have up for offer.

Don't feel bad at all. I have always wished that combs like that worked with my hair because they are understated. Sadly, I have never gotten them to work.

Thank you!! That makes me feel better. I will be patient. I just don't want to let the thread members down.


ETA @ mz_butterfly's post-- Thank you so much!!!That would be so great! My first iTrader (positive) trading!!! OKdokey... I will be patient and stop fretting... How did you know I fret?? LOL....

@Shorty89... I know! I loved these combs etc when my hair was shorter for french twists. They sit very flat against the head and hold the twist like a rock. I even found the instruction booklet that came with one of them... In fact, they do hold up a small bun in a half up and look very pretty and classy, imo. I am hoping that someone who just joined or is at the awkward apl or bsl stage if curly-- might find this swap page and inquire... At least I am hoping so!! Btw, would you be interested if I could teach you how to use them?

I'm not claiming your offer (I have nothing to offer in return, and have never been able to make a French twist work, nor had much luck with barrettes), but that was a very interesting video! I've never seen a French twist end with a flipped partial cinnabun, so seeing that as an option gives me some more ideas of how to try and maybe someday accomplish it. If my hair isn't altogether too long by now, at least. So thanks for that!

Those videos are neat. But I don't think I would be interested with my current length and lack of previous success with combs. (not for lack of trying!)

DKSABS' beautiful fork arrived today with a lovely note and packet of tea. I'll be drinking the tonight and will post action shows in the pic thread later tonight when I get home. Thank you so much DKSABS, the fork is beautiful, note is very nice and I can't wait to try to the tea.

You're welcome! Glad you like it!

Happy to help out!! I know that french twist with the cinnabun is a very creative twist to make the french twist! LOL! Glad you liked the videos!

OK... well, you know there are a couple here in case you change your mind!
