  • Provide false information about your identity, location, or shipments
  • Mark a swap as “sent” without actually mailing the item

  • Submit ratings or reports as retaliation rather than honest feedback
  • Bait-and-switch — send something materially different from what your swap post described

  • Bypass or interfere with the content moderation, no-show, or reliability systems
  • Use SwapDrop to ship prohibited items (see Section 6) or to violate postal regulations
