The Paddle Handshake

How safety works

Useful when the item is a sled, a canoe, or a pair of binoculars — not a five-dollar mug.

  1. Step 1

    A phone number is not a check

    Phone added means the person typed a phone number. We do not check it yet.

  2. Step 2

    Pay in person

    Pay in person at a public Safe Spot after you look at the item. Cash or Interac e-Transfer at the meetup. Paddle Hold (secure payment) is coming soon.

  3. Step 3

    Meet at a Safe Spot

    The seller offers two pickup days. The buyer agrees to one. Then you meet at a public library, a recreation centre, or the RCMP detachment.

  4. Step 4

    Look, then pay

    Look at the item first. Cash or Interac e-Transfer at the meetup. There is no “is this still available?” note. If you start a handshake and do not answer within two days, it counts: one warning, then buying pauses for 30 days, then you cannot buy. You can still sell. Saying no does not count. Coming soon: people who miss meetups will lose standing. That in-person miss is not counted today.

The Trade protocol

  1. Step 1

    A phone number is not a check

    Phone added means the person typed a phone number. We do not check it yet.

  2. Step 2

    Compare the two things

    Look at what each person is offering. If one thing is worth more, agree the difference in person. Do not send a wire.

  3. Step 3

    Pay the difference in person

    Cash or Interac e-Transfer after you both look. Paddle Hold (secure payment) is coming soon.

  4. Step 4

    Meet at a Safe Spot

    Bring both items. Look them over in public. A library, a recreation centre, or the RCMP detachment.

  5. Step 5

    Tap We swapped

    If both items match, you both tap. A missed meetup after you are marked there still counts.
