Public spots.
Inspect first.
Keep it local.
Always conduct your swaps in well-lit, highly trafficked public areas or designated campus-safe exchange zones to ensure physical safety for both parties.
Take your time to thoroughly verify the item's physical condition and digital functionality before finalizing the swap. Never feel rushed during an inspection.
Never ship items or send cash deposits in advance to unverified accounts. Real trades happen directly in person, dorm-to-dorm, or campus-to-campus.
Unlocking idle value.
At 4trades, we treat your unused gear and personal skills as active local currency. We are dedicated to building a trustworthy, safe environment where students and communities can bypass cash entirely and trade directly with absolute peace of mind.
By verifying users and encouraging campus-safe meetups, we ensure that trading remains a secure, sustainable, and rewarding alternative to traditional classifieds.
