How long do they usually take? How long have yours taken in the past? Just put a Bottled Water Faerie up to start one. Still no offers. Are Bottled Faeries not in demand or something?
I thought as long as you don't advertise it as a paper clip trade they're not against the rules. I've never tried one but I'd imagine they take patience, especially when you're just starting up.
MMM When I saw your first post I googled clip trades as I did not know what it was... Many people says they are against the rules, that you are begging, etc.. others that if you do not advertise them there is no problem. If you ask me, I wont take that risk
Paper clip trades are not against the rules. TNT have stated it when it was asked in an editorial a few weeks ago. If you clearly state that it is a paper clip trade, and not a scam nor begging, then it is not against the rules. But like Aemira said, they take a long time.
