Other marketplaces charge you to boost listings, get seen, and sell faster. TopSwap rewards you for being a great neighbor instead.
The difference
On Facebook Marketplace, you pay to boost. On eBay, you pay insertion fees. On Craigslist, you pay to post in certain categories. The pattern is always the same: give us money, we'll show your stuff to more people.
TopSwap flips that. Every feature that makes you more visible — highlighted listings, top posts, featured spots — is earned through Swap Points. And Swap Points come from doing the things that make the marketplace great.
Be a good seller. Be a fair buyer. Help the community grow. That's how you get ahead here.
How you earn Swap Points
Points are yours forever. Your Swap Score grows with every transaction and never goes down.
Spend 10 points to give your listing a subtle visual boost in the feed for 7 days. It's not an ad — it's a reward for being active. Buyers can see that you're an engaged member of the community.
Spend 25 points to pin your listing to the top of the feed for 7 days. This is the most visible spot on TopSwap, and it's earned, not bought. A seller who's completed 3 sales and gotten great reviews has earned the right to be seen first.
Share your personal referral link. When someone signs up and verifies their address, you get 21 points — the biggest single-action reward on the platform. Growing the community is the most valuable thing you can do.
Most marketplaces make money by inserting themselves between buyers and sellers. They charge listing fees, take a cut of every sale, or sell premium placement to whoever pays the most.
We think that's backwards for a neighborhood marketplace. Your neighbors shouldn't have to outbid each other for visibility. The person who's been a great seller and helped the community grow should naturally rise to the top.
Swap Points make that possible. They're a reputation system that doubles as a reward system. The more you contribute, the more visible you become. And you never have to open your wallet.
TopSwap is free to use. No listing fees. No transaction fees. No promoted posts for cash. Just neighbors, helping neighbors, earning trust.
