Has Anyone Traded With...
Not sure about "successful", but I saw Angel was trading with her and asked her for an update about a week ago.
I saw that too and that's mainly what made me concerned about my trade with her. That and since I sent tracking she hasn't responded to anything I've written to her and she mostly just retweets stuff and asks people about their books on the tag.
hey guys! Chelsea's a good trader. just maybe gotta remind her but that's all. she sent my things and gave me tracking so so far she's good. :)

Has anyone traded with @delaneywhite02 on Twitter? I can't seem to find any mention of her either here or with people on Twitter
Anyone traded with:@AwayToGreatRead

Brooke wrote: "Has anyone traded with @katiesbookblog on Twitter?"I haven't but I think I might have seen someone asking her if she had sent out her book yet on the tag a while ago. I'm not positive though, or sure what happened if I'm correct. I just thought I'd give some input.

Oops, I forgot to update my post! I received my books from her. It just took a little while and she didn't respond to any of my messages. Thanks :)

Ah, okay. I'm glad things worked out!
Has anyone traded with @bookwishblog ? I just made a trade with her but I've never traded with her before and I want to be sure before I actually mail tomorrow
Brooke wrote: "Has anyone traded with @katiesbookblog on Twitter?"I have and it was successful. She's bad about DMing updates - I sent her tracking and never heard from her with tracking for what she was mailing me, but she's a reputable blogger and a good trader, from what I've seen.
Has anyone traded with @RyanBada? I sent out a book to him on July 5th, knowing it would take him a week to send out my book. I still haven't received anything. I contacted him on the 25th of July, and he said it would be out in a week because he was saving money to ship. I try to be understanding, but it's been a long time, and media rate isn't that expensive.

Has anyone traded with @allicrystal or @Rpatzz? I hope someone can report some good trades with them, so I feel 'safer' before actually sending my books off.

Thank you!

She's also pretty good at keeping you updated :)

He takes quite a while to ship, but you will eventually receive it (you may have to DM him and remind him).

I contacted him on..."Just to update: I did receive the book eventually. It was over a month after he said he would ship originally, and after contacting few times, and a few other promised ship dates. Not the best trade, but I didn't get ripped off, so that's a plus.
I just have a question maybe some of you could give me a little input on. I was finalizing a trade for swag on Twitter, and the other trader (who I've never traded with before) said they would send out their package as soon as I sent them tracking/shipping conformation. It seems really shady to hold off on sending. I don't want to get ripped off. I've traded and bought books from a lot of people, and this is the first time this has happened. Has anyone else ran into this? Did you still trade?

I only hold off sending until I receive tracking first if the person is a new trader or if they don't have a good rep for trading.

Leah wrote: "I only hold off sending until I receive tracking first if the person is a new trader or if they don't have a good rep for trading."Thanks for responding. I totally understand asking people that haven't been great traders (ironically the person I was trying to trade with I found was discussed on the bad traders list) to send out tracking ahead of time. I would want to make sure I was getting my stuff before sending. I guess I was weary because I am not new and have always sent things within days of trading. I also can provided a list of people I have had successful trades with. It seemed too sketchy, and I ended up not trading because I wasn't comfortable with it. :(
Stephanie wrote: "I just have a question maybe some of you could give me a little input on.

Trading with someone who has no rep and is new to the tag who insists on you sending first is just sketchy. It's one thing if they have a good rep and you either don't have one or have had issues in the past, but otherwise it's too risky in my mind.
Has anyone had a successful trade with Vanessa Ramos (@nanduff61) on Twitter? We finalized our trade discussion the beginning of August but then she never mailed and when I inquired 10 days later she said it was ready to mail and she would try to send the next day. She never did though, and although I keep inquiring she hasn't respond to DMs or tweets in over a month (she's not even following me anymore). Thx.

I traded with her in early August and although there had been a week in between when I sent her books to when she sent my books, she did send them and DM'd me a pic of the tracking number. I have received my books from her, so yes I did have a successful trade with her.
Same here Skye - I traded with her end of July, she shipped hers 7/25 and it reached me by 7/30 (my book to her took nearly two weeks longer despite being mailed the same day, it was weird). I haven't traded with her since and she wasn't very communicative.
Calla wrote: "Has anyone traded with @booknerdgirl16?"I traded with her a few months ago. I think it took her a little bit to send my book but overall it was a successful trade!

Has anyone traded with @mybookaesthetic (Kymberly Ann)? We're doing an international trade for an ARC she wants and a pre-order with US swag that I want. However she ordered the book from amazon.com, where it's already $10 more than amazon in my country (which I recommended to save money), and I think shipping will also be even higher with a big heavy book + the swag. I estimate it's going to be $40 altogether and although I've mentioned this she still wants to go ahead. I couldn't really find any trading history on twitter and I can't imagine she would actually pay $40 for a (not very rare) ARC. I kind of feel she'll pull out at the last moment because it's too expensive, maybe after I already sent mine, or I'm just going to get scammed.
This is not to bad mouth her, because she hasn't done anything yet, but maybe someone can take away my worries.
Thanks @Robin and @Lexie for your responses! Guess I'll try to contact her at least one more time, maybe she's been too busy with school to respond.
I've traded with @mybookaesthic. She was quick to respond and to send. She sent my books first with tracking (at my request because she was a new trader) and everything arrived when it said it would. She even put the books in a box (vs envelope) and wrapped everything in pretty tissue paper. Very positive trading experience.

Has anyone traded with Sondra Burr @RunYouCleverBoy? We agreed on a swap, I sent hers a week ago, but she still hasn't sent mine. I check my USPS app daily looking for it, but she hasn't mailed it yet. Hers was delivered, but she won't answer any of my messages to see if she got it and/or if she mailed mine.

She kept in contact the whole time and we didn't have any problems. Have you tried @ ing her instead of DMing?
