I was happy with this company when I was buying from them. Really happy. They even refunded an item that didn't fit.
Then I sent them a box of my stuff to sell. Really nice stuff. Cost $8.90 to ship but i should make enough to cover that and make a little profit. (I thought)
First tip off that something was wrong is that they rejected an item I was almost positive had no stains but they said it did. But I figured maybe they saw something I didn't. Then I was notified I sold my first item. I was so happy. So it sold for $4 and I got $1.50. I was ok with that as they did all the work putting it on. Then I also sold 2 other items. Yay! Ok now wait for the pay of $6. Well I get a notice I was going to be paid... I thought. I click the link and it says, I earned $6 but fees taken out $6! What? So I made squat on that so far? And my other items will probably end up the same way. So I deleted my other items and had them send them back to me. (Had to pay $5 shipping.)
So I paid $14 in shipping (all together) for them to sell my stuff and they made a profit! I lost money! SCAM! And so much for buying. I'm not buying from them either. It doesn't go to the people who sent the clothes!
First time I used them everything was perfect... the delivery, the description the quality. I will continue to go to this site before all others which are similar.
This site falsely advertises prices. Items in cart will change price when you go to check out.
I spent 2 weeks adding stuff to a cart on this site. Occasionally there would be items that were bought by other people and it would tell me in my cart they were no longer available. (I understand this completely, no complaint.)
My complaint is that one of the items I put into my cart was priced at $3. It remained in my cart still stating it was $3 for a week. When I had finially found enough stuff to qualify for free shipping I proceeded to check out. When I did so the price of my $3 item changed to $14. I was confused. I went back to my cart and it was still showing the item at $3. I emailed the company asking them to fix the pricing error. They told me there was no error, and that the item was supposed to be $14.
After I posted this review (originally with 1star) I was contacted a member of the Swap staff via message through this site. She offered to send me the shirt to make up for my confusion. She also said the pricing error is because people can swap clothes and change prices without it changing in your cart. I advise that if you shop on this site you check out immediately to avoid prices changing on you.
What a garbage website. This is a great idea executed by untalented amateurs.
If you order here, you will never know if or when your shipment will arrive.

Great swap site! Actually I use the "Media" website (www.swap.com/books) because it's for swapping books, music, movies and games. This website enables me to swap books, music cd's, dvd's and video games with others from all over the country. Swap.com/books facilitates the swaps: 1) I add to my list "Items I Am Willing to Trade" (there is a database of items that rivals Amazon), 2) I add any items I WANT on "List of Wants," and 3) The system matches items to everyone's wants and trades, usually as 3-way swaps.
This site is awesome and I have saved tons of money by swapping books instead of paying for them. You have the option to print out a generated label from Swap.com, which adds to the balance, and each month on the 23rd they charge it to your credit card or account (about $3.21 per book, because of delivery confirmation); OR you can opt to use your own postage. I use my own because Stamps.com makes it much cheaper to send and Delivery Conf is much less.
The only downside to this website is that some people decide not to use Delivery Confirmation, which is supposed to be a requirement, and then the package cannot be tracked. My packages always arrive, but someone should really monitor the users who don't provide Delivery Conf, because they try to get around the system by being lazy.
GREAT SITE!
I was amazed at the quality of the clothes that I received from SWAP. The clothes were exactly as described. They looked brand new. The prices are terrific. The customer service is top notch!
To the party that responded to my review of Swap.com:
You're apology means nothing to me since I know that it's not sincere - it's for business interests only, so spare me!
I know of your "policy", no need to cite it! That your company won't return store credit to someone who is moving out of the country or simply DOES NOT wish to do business with you anymore is Shameful! YOU DON'T GET TO KEEP THE PRODUCT AND THE CUSTOMER'S MONEY AS WELL! That's called theft!
JHowever, I will say as an update, that once I informed your manager that I was contacting the Customer Protection Division at the State's Attorne's Office of my state about your refusal to refund my money, somehow Swap.com was MAGICALLY "able" to refund my store credit to my credit card! How very interesting!
You are scammers and you know it, so save the B. S.
Thanks to social media though, the word is out about your shady business practices, so I hope that many more will steer clear of doing business with you!
Swap.com is committing theft and fraud! Even if you try to close your account with them to get back your ever increasing amount of "store credit" they don't want to refund it! HELLO Swap.com! You can't keep the merchandise AND the consumer's money as well! And you can't force us to do business with you saying that "store credit has to be used because it's your policy"! I'm afraid that that doesn't sit well with people in this country!
I have reported them to the Consumer Protection Division of the Maryland State's Attorney's Office and encourage all that have realized how they're being scammed by Swap.com to do the same!
I have bought from this site several times and each time I am more impressed.The clothing is always better than I expected. The savings are great I have purchased for myself and my grandkids. LOVE IT
I have been selling with Swap.com basically fro the beginning. The payouts were really decent. I would send a box and get it processed fairly quickly. In 2017 they starting changing their policies after they started growing a lot I believe. When I finally sent a box to them in November 2017, it did not get processed until February 2018. This was after emailing them to find out what was happening with my items. They finally priced them okay and rejected about one third of the items. One day I decided to have the rejected items returned to me. I did not know the policies had changed. Long time customers should receive some notification when they make changes instead of being blindsided. I recently went to check my items again a couple of days ago and could not could not find my rejected items. To my horror, my items had been donated. I never knew I had only 14 days to retrieve my rejected items. I could have sold my items myself! Now I am having some of my pieces sent back to me. I would rather not do business with them anymore. You do not give a person's items away without letting them know especially when you a taking most of their money and you lie about the processing times of customer's items.
I ordered a beautiful Minnie Mouse toddler robe and it was perfect, also very hard to find, it came super fast and was very reasonably priced for the quality of the robe. I love this site.
I got Adidas sweat pants for my 10 year old and a Lucky Brand t-shirt for myself. Good prices and clothing was in great condition. I spent $22 overall and felt it was a good buy.
I have bought clothes from Swap.com and have been very pleased with the items. The clothes are clean and in good condition.The website was a great find.
Easy to navigate and order from website. Orders are filled and shipped quickly with no problems! Used this website multiple times and always happy with our finds!
I always have a positive experience whenever I order items on Swap.com. The items are as described and the delivery is quick. And lots to choose from.
I stumbled upon this website looking for inexpensive maternity clothes, and I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. I feel like I've found a gold mine!
I was surprised by the condition of the clothes and sandals I bought they looked like new. Shipping and prices were great. I love it and I will be buying again very soon!
This is the first time I have purchased items on Swap. I was very satisfied with my items. The option of using Amazon is a plus. I will definitely use the site again!
I recently found swap.com by searching for a Ninja Turtle hat for my grandson. I bought an awesome one on this site as well as a couple other Turtle things- it was awesome!
New to Swap.com so this was my first time making a purchase. I ordered clothing for my granddaughter. Clothing was like new. Very pleased with clothing for the cost. Will certainly buy again!
I love the ease of the online shopping with the prices. I was very happy with my purchases and items i have sold the fees are a little high but not to bad.
Answer: I have only placed one order so far. I ordered 10 blouses. I returned 5, due to size issues. All 10 blouses were nice, but 5 did not fit quite right due to different manufacturer's. You need to get an RMA # for returns. I was promptly refunded my money for the 5 blouses. I would order again in the future. I am not aware of any return quantity restrictions. Hope this helps.
Answer: If you want to sell clothes, all the information is on their website. Basically, they get a percentage and then they pay you thru an existing PayPal account that you set up.
Answer: Hi Patricia, We are on about a 55-60 day delay in processing inbound shipments. When your items are processed, you will be notified via email that they are ready to be priced. Have you sent an email to our support team at assistance@swap.com yet? A member of our team can look up your account information and give you a better idea of exact when you can expect to see your items. Thank you, Lauren Swap.com Support Manager
Answer: Same here, I sent a box in June and have received nothing nothing saying it was accepted or rejected absolutely nothing. I've sent 5 emails and nothing. I will be contacting the better business bureau as well.
Answer: I don't think so. I've sold and from my experience it varies. The things that I thought would sell first, haven't sold yet. It varies by what people are looking for at the time. I've bought all different seasons at random times. I buy by what's a great deal. When selling, group like items together. I've noticed multiple things sell first.
Answer: Hi Jo, That is correct. You can return items that do not fit as long as you request the return within 30 days. We will send you a pre-paid UPS shipping label to send back your return free of charge. Once the return is received, we will refund your card within five (5) business days. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at assistance@swap.com. We are happy to help! Best, Matt
Answer: There's no way for them to go over prices. They have to see the items and determine from going over it, if it's acceptable, once it's accepted, then you have to determine the price you want to sell it for. You could try searching on their site for similar items and see what they are priced at. I did notice when pricing my items that I'd get a little notice with recommended prices, which was very helpful. I didn't have a good experience selling but many others have. Make sure you take pictures of your items, that's very important. I appreciated that their site is set up to allow you to take back your items if you changed your mind about selling them. I'm in the process of getting back my items. Hopefully it works out well and I get all my items back.

Hi Deeny D.
I am glad we have connected offline to resolve this! Your shirt will arrive shortly as a gesture of our appreciation of our great customers!
Just so everyone is aware, I wanted to clear up how the cart works. Because in the time you spent adding items to your cart, that same $3 maternity shirt was purchased and re-listed at a higher purchase (an option that all buyers and sellers have on our site as the sellers set the prices). Sometimes when users want to shop over a longer period of time, the store their items for free, and then pay a low flat rate of $4.99 to send everything home.
Hope that clarifies this issue, but please note, we take all comments seriously and continuously develop our service.
Many thanks,
Michelle
