How to arrange an item exchange

Offer something you own and explain what you would like in return. A clear description helps both people decide whether a swap suits them.

Describe what you offer and what you need

Choose the exchange option when creating a listing, add photos and describe the condition of your item. Explain what you are looking for, such as a book by a particular author or something in a specific size. Say whether you are open to other suggestions, and discuss expectations before meeting.

Look for a suitable swap

Browse the exchange section on QoldanQolga. Check the condition, included parts, city and terms as well as the item name. To offer your own item, sign in and create a listing that allows exchanges. A swap is agreed only when both people accept the arrangement.

Inspect both items together

Ask about faults and request up-to-date details before the meeting. Meet during daylight in a busy place where you can inspect both items without rushing. If an appliance needs power to be tested, agree on suitable arrangements beforehand. Check the item you will receive before handing over your own.

Do the items need to have the same value?

No fixed price match is required: both people decide whether the swap works for them. If you discuss an additional payment, agree on the amount and payment method in advance. Do not send a stranger an advance payment for a promised exchange.

What if the item does not match its description?

Point out the differences and discuss them before handing anything over. You can decline if the condition, missing parts or changed terms are unacceptable. You do not have to continue under pressure.

What information should I keep private?

Arranging a swap does not require your account password, verification codes or full card details. Avoid suspicious links claiming that payment or verification is compulsory. If another user's behavior concerns you, use the reporting option available on the site.
