Is it really free?

faqs
Yep. It really is.
We don’t charge you for listing items or trading items.
Nothing. Nada. Nil. Your only expense is paying the
shipping of your item. Use the post office's Media Mail service and
you can send almost everything for less than $2.50. Better yet, if
you want, we'll try to find a trade for you with a swaptree member right down
the street, or with one of your friends or co-workers, so you can just forget
about postage and hand your item over in person. Now you aren't
paying a dime!
How do I find trades?
You don’t.
We do, or we should say, our super smart
algorithms do.
With swaptree's multiple-way trade algorithms, we instantly show you thousands
of items that you could receive in trade for any item. So you don't
spend time searching for potential trades, negotiating a trade with another
user, or messing with some sort of point system. Just list some
items that you want to trade and swaptree will show you everything you can get
for them.
Is it difficult to list items for trade?
Nope. Just need to read a few numbers.
Just enter the UPC or ISBN code that is on the back of every book, CD, DVD and video
game, and we will find the correct item details: edition, release,
version, paperback/hardback, normal/widescreen, etc.
That's the long answer to the question. The short answer: It's
really easy to list your items.
Who has time to go to the post office to
send an item?
Not us and
certainly not you.
Because of that, we have made everything as simple as possible. We
allow you to print accurate postage and perfect mailing labels directly from
swaptree. So don’t worry about calculating the weight, or entering
the correct shipping or return address – we do that all for you.
Just print a mailing label from your computer, put your item in your envelope,
and place it in your mailbox. It does mean that you will have to get
off of your couch, but only to walk to the mailbox.
