DailyDi Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Freecycling is all about donating and trading your stuff to other folks rather than throwing it out. There are only two types of posts allowed here and each post's subject should start with either: Wanted: [Name of Item] or Available: [name of Item] You may not SELL items in this forum, but you can ask for the actual cost of shipping an item (no handling fees, just the cost of the box and the stamps) No links to ebay items, or to other sites. This forum is STRICTLY for trading and donating items of interest to your fellow community members! Link to comment
babylin Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 REALLY like this idea! I belonged to a local "Freecycle" community group and had fun giving away lots of things. Having a place to give away my plastic pants and unwanted diapers to people who would appreciate them more than Sal Army and Goodwill is priceless. Thanks for offering this option.

Guest Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have a question. Are we allowed to link to an eBay item if the purpose is to give away (for free) something that did not sell on eBay? Same with linking to another site, just to show a photo? (ie PhotoBucket) Link to comment

Same with linking to another site, just to show a photo? (ie PhotoBucket) I suppose so, so long as the item doesn't have a "relisted" link on the ebay page. Link to comment
Dirty Diaper/Maxipad Lover Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 This is definitely a good section to have on this forum. I'm a bit confused about one thing though. Both this subforum and the "Diaper Store" subforum mention trades. If I wanted to trade an item in exchange for another item (each "trader" would pay to ship his or her item or items to the other trader,) would I post my thread in the Freecycle forum, or would I post my thread in the "Diaper Store" forum? Any assistance is appreciated. Link to comment
peepeepants Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 and where do you ask someone to receive a package for you which you pick up (for example you want to order online and still live with parents?) Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 and where do you ask someone to receive a package for you which you pick up (for example you want to order online and still live with parents?) You have to figure that out on your own- many use a private mailbox like the UPS store etc. Some of these stores will accept packages for you on a fee-for-use basis without a mailbox; you have to ask to know which ones do this. Another alternative is to have a trusted friend receive the package at their address. Many online suppliers ship discreetly all the time, some by request only, and some not at all You have to ask them individually. Personal sales and trades are almost always discreetly shipped yet again you should always ask if it matters. Bettypooh Link to comment
