How much does swap.com cost?
Swap.com is free. You only pay for shipping (on average around $2.50).
How do I get started?
List the UPC codes or ISBNs for the items you are trading (you can also search for the item that you want in the "search for an item" at the top of the page). Then, add items to your want list. The only way that other users can initiate trades with you is if you have items on your want list. Once you find the item you want, just click "want it" and that item will be placed onto your want list.
How do I add an item to my "have list"?
To add an item your "have list", just enter the UPC code or ISBN of the item you have to trade in the "add to have list" at the top of the page. Then choose the condition of the item and if you want, provide a brief description of the item's condition. Click on the button that reads "add item to my have list" and Ta-Da! The item appears on your have list!
How do I add an item to my "want list"?
The easiest way to add an item to your want list is by searching for the item on our site. Once you have found the right item, click on the "want it" link next to the item, and it will be added to your want list.
How do I get involved in a trade?
Either you initiate a swap, or another member does.
If you have an item another member wants, you'll see a note in your profile showing the amount of items available for your one item. Find the item you want, click "GET NOW", and your swap is initiated.
Or...
Once you have items on your have and want lists, swap.com will help find a member who has the item you want. When we find a match, we will notify you via an email that the item you want is available and you can then login to review and accept that swap.
What things can I do to increase the number of trades I am involved in?
For starters, keep adding to your Have and Want lists. The more items you have, the more swapping you can do! If you have new items or items that you know are popular, adding those to your have list will up your chances of getting something in return.
If you aren't sure what you want, but have a lot to give,
browse items that other users have recently added to their have list
. If you find anything you like, click on "want it" and there's a good chance that you'll be able to get that item in exchange for something on your have list.
So am I expected to trade an XBOX 360 video game for an old paperback book?
No. Swap.com will make sure that high value items such as new video games, multi-disc movie sets and multi-CD sets, are traded fairly with other items of high value status. We won't allow people to initiate trades with you unless you are receiving a high value item from your want list in return. However, if you want to initiate the trade for a lesser-value item, you are free to do so.
