Swapping tips to get started
We’re thrilled to have you join Sassybae! To ensure a smooth and secure experience, we've compiled some helpful tips for you to find and get the swaps you want. For safety tips, read our help article on "Safety on the Sassybae App".
Upload High-Quality Photos
Take photos using natural light if possible and clearly show the item and its condition.
Whenever possible, include multiple original photos of the item rather than a generic image from a company website.
Provide Detailed Descriptions
Add an accurate and detailed description of the item, including its condition and dimensions. Be transparent about any stains, tears, or wear and tear.
Bundle Items Together
Bundling items is an excellent strategy to increase the value of your swap, saves time and enhances your chances of finding a match. A few examples:
- Group together items that are related or complement each other. If you have children's clothing, you can bundle outfits, matching sets, seasonal clothes (e.g. summer, winter pack) or type of clothes (e.g. all tops, all bottoms).
- Offer a variety bundle with a mix of toys, books, clothes to attract a broader audience.
Clean and Sanitise Items
Whether you're swapping or donating used clothing, shoes, toys, books, or other items, please ensure they're as clean as possible as requested in our house rules.
Timely Response
Respond promptly to messages and swap requests. Avoid leaving people hanging, even if you've changed your mind about swapping an item as it can help build trust and ensure efficient swaps.
Polite and Clear Communication
Being polite and courteous goes a long way. Effective communication is key to successful swaps so be clear about your expectations, meeting arrangements, and any other relevant details.
Check for Swaps Regularly
To increase your chances of finding the items you need, make it a habit to check Sassybae regularly. New listings are added all the time, and you might spot a perfect match.
Be Flexible and Patient
Enjoy the element of surprise! While you may have specific items in mind, sometimes being open to similar alternatives or variations can lead to successful swaps. Keep in mind that finding the perfect match may take some time, so be patient in your swapping journey.
Respect Swapper's Preferences
Pay attention to the preferences and guidelines set by other swappers. Some may prefer contactless exchanges, while others may have specific meeting preferences.
Set Realistic Expectations
When browsing listings, be realistic about the condition of items, especially if they are pre-owned. Don't expect brand-new quality unless it's explicitly stated.
Keep Your Profile Updated
Ensure that your profile reflects your current preferences and items available for swapping. This helps other swappers understand your needs and offerings better.
Verify the Item Before Exchange
If you are not conducting a contactless swap, always verify the item's condition and details to prevent misunderstandings and ensure a satisfying exchange.
Share Positive Experiences
If you have a positive swapping experience, consider sharing it with the community. Positive feedback and reviews can help build trust among swappers.
By following these tips, you can make the most of your swapping experience on Sassybae while ensuring safety, transparency, and satisfaction for all parties involved. Happy swapping!
