Buy, sell, trade, gather, and take a job — safely next door.

Where do you want to go?

1. Step 1

   Both people are verified

   A Verified Neighbor has confirmed their name and phone. Look for the badge before you talk money.

2. Step 2

   Money sits in Paddle Hold

   We keep the payment until you both say the handshake is done. Card, Google Pay, or Shop. No gift cards. No wires.

3. Step 3

   Meet at a Safe Spot

   Library lobby, precinct lot, community center — lit, public, and often staffed.

4. Step 4

   Tap Handshake

   Inspect the item, then both tap. Money releases. No-shows lose standing and coins.

The Trade protocol

1. Step 1

   Both people are verified

   A Trade only starts when both neighbors have a Verified badge.

2. Step 2

   Values are compared

   We show what similar things sell for. If one item is worth more, the difference goes into Paddle Hold — never cash in a parking lot.

3. Step 3

   Even-up sits in Paddle Hold

   If the swap is uneven, we hold the difference until you both tap. If it is even, nothing extra moves.

4. Step 4

   Meet at a Safe Spot

   Bring both items. Look them over in public. Do not swap in a driveway at night.

5. Step 5

   Tap We swapped

   If both items match, you both tap. The even-up releases. No-shows lose standing, same as a handshake.
