Trade with classmates.

Swap what you have for what you need; no money changes hands, no fees. Just two students helping each other out.

Three steps.
Zero fees.

01

Mark your listing as open to trade

When posting, select "Trade" or "Open to trade" and describe what you're looking for. Be specific, "looking for ECON 2G03 textbook" is better than "looking for textbooks."

02

A student proposes their item

Another student sees your listing and proposes their item in the app chat. You review their offer, ask questions, check their rating. You're in control of whether to proceed.

03

Agree, meet, swap, done

You agree on the swap, pick a campus meetup spot, inspect both items, and exchange. Rate each other after. Zero fees on trades. The 8% transaction fee only applies when someone pays through Loot in-app.

Three categories where
trades make the most sense.

01

Textbook for textbook

Done with ECON 1B03? Someone in second year has the ECON 2G03 book you need. Swap directly, no money, no waiting, no shipping. The cleanest use case for trades on campus.

02

Gear for gear

Jacket for jacket, calculator for calculator, monitor for monitor. Same category, similar value, no money needed. Agree on fair value in the chat before committing to the swap.

03

Course notes for course notes

Finished a course with detailed notes? Trade with someone who has notes for a course you're taking next semester. Real value, zero cost.

The safest trade
environment you'll find.

Both parties have something on the line.

When you're both giving something up, people actually show up. Verified students, real accounts with ratings and transaction history, real consequences for flaking. The skin-in-the-game nature of trades means they have a higher show-up rate than cash transactions, and a lower dispute rate.

Four things that make
trades go smoothly.

Trades are completely free.

No fee on trades. No payment processing. The 8% transaction fee only applies when someone pays through Loot in-app (buyer protection included). When you're just swapping stuff, no money changes hands.
