Pick up to 3 shots at once — every angle and any damage. JPG, PNG, WEBP or HEIC up to 20 MB each. The first photo is the cover, and each one can carry a note.
Traders only ever see the town, never your address. This is what sets the distance others see.
Books, games, puzzles & toys
Be straight about wear — it saves arguments at the handover. Leave it blank for skills and labour.
We sort it into a category for you from what you've written — no need to pick one.
Not sure what's worth trading?
Tap any idea to drop it straight into the field. These rotate every time you post.
Not sure what to ask for in return?
Start The Barter is a peer-to-peer trading marketplace. There are no coins, no tokens and no in-app currency: you list what you have — a microwave, a cord of firewood, a day of mechanical work, a jar of pole bean seed — say what you'd like in return, and trade directly with the person on the other end.
The free membership covers browsing, posting, matching, negotiating and completing trades, supported by ads. Pro is $14.99 a month: no ads, a Verified Trader badge, top placement in search results and an automatically generated trade contract for the deals you agree.
Post firewood and want vehicle repairs, and the app alerts you when a mechanic nearby is looking for firewood. Matching works on what you offer, what you want and how far you're willing to travel.
