How it works
Barter-X is a marketplace where people exchange used products without money. Here's how it works in four simple steps.
Add an offer
To get something back, start by offering something you already own. Add your item into the right product box. Each offer can hook up to three other offers, but you still get back only one.
Hook an offer
Browse other people's offers and choose what you want in exchange. For each of your offers, you can hook up to three offers from other users. Each of your offers still returns one item.
Confirm pickup readiness
As soon as you hook at least one product, the trade engine starts forming short, simple cycles that connect everyone's wants. Before anything is locked in, you confirm when and how your offer can be picked up.
Final commit
Once everyone in a reserved cycle confirms pickup readiness, the trade engine commits the loop, triggers the chosen logistics, and each user gets what they wanted in exchange for their own offer.
