LOOK OUT FOR YOUR MATES

Buy and sell with confidence.

Before you buy

Ask about condition, faults and what’s included. Request the serial number or proof of purchase where appropriate. If a deal feels too good to be true, take your time.

Inspect before paying

Arrange a safe, public meeting where possible. Inspect and test the tool safely before agreeing to buy. Avoid deposits to strangers and don’t follow unfamiliar payment or courier links.

Keep your details private

Use Trade Shed messages to arrange the sale. Never share passwords or verification codes. Public profiles and listings show only general locations.

Sell honestly

Only list items you own and are entitled to sell. Describe damage and missing parts, use your own clear photos, and remove personal information from the background.

Something doesn’t look right?

Use the report option on a listing or seller profile. Trade Shed currently connects buyers and sellers; it does not process payments or provide buyer protection.
