Safety on BarterX

No money changes hands. Still treat every meetup with care.

Community rules

  • Only list items you own. No stolen, illegal, dangerous or recalled goods.
  • Do not ask for or offer money, gift cards, or payment apps.
  • Be honest about condition and pickup details.
  • No harassment, hate, or pressure to complete a trade.

Meetups

  • Meet in a public place, in daylight if you can.
  • Tell a friend where you are going.
  • Inspect the item before you confirm handover.
  • Use in-app chat so there is a record of the agreement.

If something feels wrong

Use Report on a listing, chat, or trade. We review reports and can remove listings or suspend accounts.
