How SwapMate Works

SwapMate helps people exchange items, skills and time without using money. You pay only to post listings, not to complete swaps with other members.

1. Create an account

Sign up so you can post listings, manage your swap ads and respond to people interested in swapping.

2. Buy listing credits

Get 5 SwapMate listing credits for £5. Each credit lets you post one swap ad.

3. Post your swap

Create a listing explaining what you are offering, what you would like in return and your general location.

4. Find a match

Browse other offers and requests, then connect with people who may be a good match.

5. Agree the swap safely

Make sure both people understand exactly what is being exchanged before meeting or completing a swap.
