MUA drives me nuts sometimes.
- Thread starter melozburngr
- Start date
My big gripe at MUA is the lack of replies to swap requests. I probably get 1 reply for every 6-8 swap requests I send. It is just me? Did I forget my deodorant or something?? I also had the most abnoxious reply to a message a few weeks ago, I said I was very interested in an item they had and their reply? "Yeah, So? P=" Thank goodness for that ignore button. I would never have the nerve to act so rudely to someone. I've actually had pretty good luck with new people sending first. I usually ask them right up front in my first message and try to ask as nicely as possible as I remember it really sucked when I had to send first all of the time when I was new and I keep that in mind when asking. As Nina (Juneplum) said tho, if it sounds too good to be true... That is the truth! Anytime I feel uneasy with a swap, I pass, you just have to go with your gut instincts!

I dunno, MUA is getting bitchy lately. |

Yeah, I thought the same thing.... and she is looking for Pink Vivid pigment, which she allegedly has for swap? I dunno.

I had the same chick try pretty much the same thing I have quite a few on ebay a few on here and she insisted on me sending my items first -two pigments for the same skinfinish- I was really tempted to do it but before I had agreed the girl had the nerve to start going off on me for not responding to her fast enough and having other offers for it, so I decided it seemed like a bad idea and not to do anything with her.

It sure seems with the people who have been scamming on here lately that there isn't much that can be done. I hope that it catches up with them. It is BS if they do this and get away with it. Makes me sick!

I'm newer to MUA and am so thankful for it b/c it lead me here =) ... But I have about 20 tokens now... I had no problem sending first and would never have dreamed about asking anything different, There are crazies out there but you could normally tell when an established experienced swapper had run into one by the feedback. I have only swapped with experienced swappers... so I think that helped a lot. Now I'm trying to build up feedback here =). It is so irritating when people ignore your requests and such, what happened to common decency ? It stinks that a few people can and will ruin a good thing.

Yeah, I'm kinda over MUA. I used to love it over there, but every time I got my items, they were not in the condition that they were stated to be in. Also, no one ever responds anymore. I much prefer it over here. I like to purchase here b/c everything comes in great condition and I'm not waiting to see if my end was held up. Just click, pay and go!!!!
