Direct exchange
How a swap works, step by step
Swapping is a simple, direct exchange between two people. Here is how to list what you have, propose a trade, and complete it together.
Three steps
From listing to handoff
List what you have
Take a clear photo and describe the item, its condition, and what you have ready to pass along.
Propose a trade
Browse available items and offer a direct trade that both of you agree on before anything changes hands.
Coordinate the handoff
Arrange a pickup or delivery directly with your exchange partner, at a time and place that suits you both.
Good swaps
Simple expectations for everyone
Describe items fairly
Share honest details and clear photos so your partner knows exactly what they are receiving.
Send clean items
Pass along things that are clean, in working order, and ready to be used again by someone new.
Stay in touch
Communicate openly with your exchange partner so questions and timing are settled before the handoff.
