FAQ

Common questions

Is this the same as the Barter of America business exchange?

No. The Barter of America business exchange is for companies with trade-dollar accounts and brokers. Barter Stores is for individuals — peer-to-peer, no broker fees, no business account required.

I own a small business — which path is right for me?

If you want trade dollars, new B2B customers, and broker support, choose Business. If you want to swap excess inventory or services locally as an individual, Barter Stores works great too.

What can I barter?

Virtually anything — bicycles, furniture, clothing, art, home services, skills, kids' gear, hobby items, electronics, food services and more. If it has value, someone near you probably wants it.

What if I have nothing to trade?

No problem — buy Barter Stores Credits and use them like cash to get what you want. Credits are always valued 1:1 to the US dollar. You can also earn free Credits by completing your profile and inviting friends.

Am I protected if something goes wrong?

Yes. Every barter on our platform is backed by a signed legal agreement — the same protection Barter of America has offered since July 2001. Both parties have full recourse.
