Swapping well: our top tips

📸

Great photos = great swaps

Show your item from multiple angles, in good light. Include any wear honestly. Trust is everything.

💬

Be responsive

When someone proposes a swap, reply within 24 hours. A quick response sets the tone for a great exchange.

⚖️

Aim for fairness

Try to match item values. If there's a difference, a small cash top-up can make both parties happy.

📍

Local swaps work best

Swapping large items like prams locally avoids postage headaches. A handoff in a local park is actually delightful.

🤝

Meet safely

For your first swap with someone, meet in a public place. Most exchanges are warm and neighbourly — but better safe.

Rate your swap partner

Good ratings help the whole community. Be honest, be kind. A five-star swap partner is a community treasure.
