In a recent thread about swapping, moderator Foxbins stated on Feb 1st 2024:

As it stands now, public sample passes are fine, but sales, swaps, and sample exchanges between two people should take place via DM or off-site. Clarification of the rules regarding public "In Search Of," Sales, and Swap posts is in the works, I think. A person can still offer to send a sample to another person in an established thread, but not start a dedicated thread offering samples, sales, or swaps.

When I searched the site for published policy on swapping, all I found was this, in the "FAQ" section:


...which makes it sound as though the Marketplace is still active.

We definitely need a policy on swaps and sales that is prominently displayed, preferably in the admin links that appear at the bottom of every page.

And while we're at it, we could really use a page under "staff" or "contact us" that lists just who the moderators are and how to contact them.

The "Why can't I post..." thread was for new members who did not yet meet the requirements to do so. After my several offers to resume my moderator role, where I actively suspended or terminated rules violators, were not responded to, it seems there will never be another marketplace here.

It's too bad. I'm on reddit (/r/fragranceswap), ebay and facebook "Fragrance Marketplace" and all of them pale in comparison to how easy breezy Basenotes marketplace was in its old form. I really had it good here. Really good people here for the most part.
Yeah, I'm elsewhere, too. It was much nicer here.
