What is Trade Up?
A marketplace for cash, trade, and hybrid deals — and how it's different from cash-only apps.
Trade Up is a marketplace where you can buy, sell, and trade — including hybrid deals that mix cash and items (like "$30 + my Nintendo Switch for your PS5"). Unlike cash-only apps, every listing can accept cash, a trade, or both, so you can turn stuff you're not using into the things you actually want.
Payments are held securely until you get your item, and sellers pay 0% in seller fees. Trade Up is available on iOS.
