Hello Sexy Peeps,
After the success of a recent sales here (shoes by @Kittyk84 ) which were allowed and sold with explicit permissions from myself, we have had a few other people also request to do a similar thing.

Now, one thing we were always going to do on the site, was to allow tailored shops to sell from here like an outlet. Such as @ainsleytshoes , @ThePantiePurse and so on... These would have been and are carefully chosen sites who could potentially sell from the site - offering you products and clothing that you may find useful of course.

However, what we are also considering is allowing member sales. Where you can sell your wares to the rest of the community and site.
Certain things won't be allowed of course, but as you saw from Miss Kitties' sales - the shoes literally flew out and she was sold out within about an hour. Seriously.. I think it was less. @Kittyk84 will know.. x

So is this something that appeals to you as a buyer and seller and would you use such a feature?
It would be a first for a site like ours that's a certainty. As I said, we already had plans for shops to sell products from here directly to you, but this would be available to members to sale things from here.

To put your mind at ease, I am still acutely aware that other things need addressing across the site, which will be done and are being done - this is also something else we want you to consider.

So let us know your thoughts, please answer the poll and please do leave us some feedback about this.
Thank you all so much.

I think it's a great idea, for "sexy" items, not garden spades & tin openers!
This site would be a great place to sell those unwanted sexy dresses, shoes, etc etc. Target audience! And to pick up some bargains, without eBay getting their cut.

yes I like this idea.
I've got brand new lingerie and sex toys that I've never used, due to being sent multiple items. It works on AW from what I've seen.

Okay so far it's 10 for, 1 against.
The shipping and handling of addresses is the biggest issue. No one has an issue sending their address to established businesses - but to a stranger on a swinging site, then this is an issue.
If and I mean IF we go ahead, then I strongly suggest you send addresses only to well known, well verified members.
Bearing in mind, you will have some details if a buyer pays via PayPal etc...
But definitely one for a good brainstorming session..

Maybe there would be a way to block unverified members from the section??
Indeed, the whole thing will be based on very strict, highly organised permissions.
All those things will be considered down the road, but it will available only to certain members with certain criteria such as being photo verified and so on for example. But it would potentially be highly organised and strictly permission based.

Yes indeed..
Having said all this, its up to you the members, whom can only be truly responsible, for your saftey.
I'm sure you have the foresight.. and awareness and common sense re giving out personal addreses.

Okay I am still planning this and one of the biggest hurdles we/you will face is exchanging addresses etc.
The boutique will be available to photo verified members only!
https://socialswinging.com/swinging-wiki/how-do-i-become-a-photo-verified-member.14/

It will also be available to supporters and sites like @ThePantiePurse and @ainsleytshoes etc. They will be able to list products if they choose to do so, in order for you to buy directly from them but on here.

Anyway with this, ultimately people who wish to sell items for others, will of course be selling because they want to. Same as those buying, those of you buying items are doing so because you want to.
This means exchanging of addresses is going to happen - alternatively you can look into using Royal Mail Parcel Collect which means you can have the items delivered to a local Post Office and then collect from there.

You are responsible for your own actions and for handing out information. I would seriously be wise when using this.. Only exchange details with reputable and known members.
Don't forget we have the private tracking area too which you can use for safety.
There are ways and means to do this and send parcels or buy items, but I cannot stress enough - you must use your own judgement.
We have other 'outlets' also interested in this, once I go live with everything.
I'll look into how we can use the Parcel Collect service too.

If exchanging info you'd ideally be looking at exchanging addresses to known people, with verifications and who are PV'd
This is a service offered by us (Social Swinging) and you must be responsible for your own actions.

it will be available to photo verified members only and will be available to those with criteria. The system will be highly moderated and monitored.
We will only seek a 2% fee for this okay? We have to seek a small fee and I think it's only fair we ask this, due to the workloads involved and the fact it's a boutique - all percentages go to the site.
Some people will of course be exempt such as actual shops.

TLDR;
We're going ahead
Photo verified members only to have access
Highly moderated
Small sales fee of 2% will be deducted for our overheads (20p in every tenner lol)
Be responsible!
Outlets/Shops/current supporters such as @ThePantiePurse will be allowed to sell directly, exempt from percentages and allowed to categorise their items here for you.

I think that's it.
Long winded I know and I do apologise, but something as important as this, needs thorough explanations and details.
Thank you,

I have opened the area to photo verified members only!
Products | Social Swinging-A FREE Swinging Site for Swingers

New Products | Social Swinging-A FREE Swinging Site for Swingers
it is live but I am still building and adding things. Right now those of you who are photo verified will have view permissions but only view permissions.
Once I have finalised what I need to finish and add all relevant pieces of info, you will be able to start using it.
You will definitely encounter permission errors whilst I still build it and finish it. I've opened it to photo verified members so you can get a look and feel for it.

Please do NOT buy anything, especially the one listed for £3,500
Many thanks,
Admin
