In an effort to help, these guidelines are here to minimize frustrations so you can get the most out of TradeAway. The "help" tab on the home page will help answer all your questions.
Contact Us TradeAway is a brand new site, and with any new site, there will be "bugs" that need to be worked out. Please inform us if you discover a problem with the site. If you would like to ask a question, each page has a questions/comments link. TradeAway has a staff waiting to assist you.
Charges It is FREE to list an item valued at $499 or less on TradeAway. On items over $500 in value, there will be at the time of a sale/trade an advertising fee of 1%, but only IF the sale/trade was made as a result of your posted ad on TradeAway. Featured items are promoted on the home page as well as the categories you choose, and have an extra charge of $20. Charges also apply for choosing over 3 additional categories. (See Listing an Item.) Your item, talent, service, or wanted advertising will stay on TradeAway until you accept an offer or delete your listing.
