A set number should've been set on b/4 starting the swap - it's like it was unorganized. Sorry, my opinion for what it's worth - probably nothing.
Sorry you're having a hard time honey. You don't have to make a block for everybody if you don't want to. I'm doing it but it's cause I have the time. The deal is you just get back as many blocks as you send. It'll be less postage if you send less too 'cause it'll weigh less.
I hope you don't give up on swaps because of this. I'm in several and I love them. Usually blocks are done in sets on swaps... like you send in a set of 6 or 12 and get that many back. Then if you want to do more, you just send in more sets. I think sending return postage is pretty standard on most of them, unless you do the Quilting Bee swap where you make a block for someone and they make one for you. Or the doll quilt swap does it that way too where you make one for eachother.
