Your first trade, start to finish

A calm walkthrough of listing an item, matching, and swapping—with zero awkwardness.

The first swap is always the strangest. You've got a thing. Someone else has a thing. There's no card reader in the middle, and that's a little disorienting at first.

Start by listing what you already don't touch—the coffee grinder still in its box, the guitar under the bed, the winter jacket you outgrew. Three clean photos and a plain-English description is enough. Say what you'd love back and leave room for people to surprise you.

When an offer lands, open the chat. Ask one specific question about condition. Suggest a public place—a café, the library steps, the park bench outside the museum. Confirm the swap on both sides in the app so the trade closes cleanly and you both get to leave a review.

That's it. You've moved a thing you didn't need into hands that wanted it, and received something in return. No fees. No accounts topped up. Just an even exchange.
