Step 2: List Your Item

Got something to swap? Upload photos, write a clear description, and add tags (e.g., "books," "electronics"). Specify your location to connect with nearby swappers.

Step 3: Browse with Filters

Find the perfect swap using our smart filters:

  • Location Filter: Enter your city or zip code in the "Location" field to see items available nearby. Adjust the radius (e.g., 5 miles) to narrow or expand your search.
  • Tag Filter: Use tags like "furniture," "clothing," or "toys" to find specific categories. Select multiple tags to refine results (e.g., "books" + "vintage").

Step 4: Connect & Propose

Found an item you like? Message the owner to propose a swap. Offer one of your listed items or discuss what they’re looking for. Agree on a fair trade.

Step 5: Swap Safely

Arrange a safe, public meeting spot to exchange items. Inspect items during the swap to ensure they match the description. Leave feedback for your swap partner to build trust in the community.

Step 6: Rate & Repeat

After swapping, rate your experience and share feedback. Then, list more items and keep the swapping cycle going. The more you swap, the more you save!
