There is no bidding. GearTrade does not charge a listing fee or an escrow fee for selling gear. We also take the hit on the credit card. We monitor the transaction and directly handle all customer concerns. GearTrade is dedicated solely to outdoor sports.
Users browsing our site are outdoor enthusiasts looking to buy quality outdoor gear at great prices.
Quality counts and that's why GearTrade controls the brands on the site. Your Marmot Cwm sleeping bag won't be sold along side a Sesame Street brand sleeping bag, as would be the case on any major auction site. Our partners integrate our gear swap technology into their website, instantly making your gear accessible to thousands of other consumers on different sites. For example, say you listed a bike for sale at GearTrade. GearTrade does not endorse the sale of gear, which puts a retailer in direct violation of their manufacturer's purchasing contract.
