Hey!
This is in the Rules and Regulations thread.

Quote:

11. Deposits - The Gift Exchange is open to everyone. As a suggestion by Admin, members who have less than 500 posts or members that were not a part of the previous Gift Exchange are required to leave a mandatory deposit of $25.00 for security measures.

If you want to Sign-Up and you have less than 500 posts or were not a part of the previous exchange, you will receive a PM from myself or Admin about your deposit. Again, this is only to sustain the fairness level in the Gift Exchange. It is not that we don't trust you personally, we can not allow for any possibility of a Gift Exchange participant not receiving their gift.

Once your buddy receives their gift, your deposit will be returned to you within 48 hours of delivery confirmation. Deposits can be done through PayPal by Debit or Credit card and we will also accept Personal Checks (if they are received by us BEFORE the end of the signup period). Paypal is preferred and much easier to deal with. If you do not send out a gift, you will not receive your deposit back and you may face consequences as listed below.

You have 50 days to send out your gift after you receive your buddy's information. You will receive your secret buddy within another week and a half.

Hi there...
If you go back to the beginning of that thread Junebug explains the rules.. Because of the last exchange and not all recieved their gifts they decided to have a deposit made to make sure that, that did not happen again. For those that have over 500 posts that fee is waived.. Hope this helps..
