Trust is practical

Safety center

Good Trade Local helps people communicate clearly, but cannot guarantee a person, item, service, or location. You are responsible for deciding whether a trade is right for you.

Meet and inspect safely

  • Meet in a public place when possible and bring another adult.
  • Inspect and test items. Verify serial numbers where appropriate.
  • Use a written scope for services and independently verify licenses, permits, insurance, and qualifications.
  • Never send money, deposits, gift cards, crypto, financial information, or sensitive identity documents.

When something feels wrong

Stop communicating, block the member, and report the listing or message. Call emergency services for emergencies.
