How TradeDex works

Four simple steps to find that card — and trade with someone you can trust.

  1. 1

    Tell us what you're hunting

    Post a 'wanted' listing with the card name, set, number, and condition you'd accept.

  2. 2

    List cards you'd trade

    Add cards from your collection you're willing to part with — no money changes hands here.

  3. 3

    Chat in-app

    Use our built-in messaging to discuss the trade without sharing personal contact info.

  4. 4

    Trade, then rate

    Once you ship and receive, leave a public rating. Reputation makes the community stronger.

Safety first.

Trading by mail with a stranger doesn't have to be risky. Follow these rules.

Only trade with verified accounts

Look for the VERIFIED badge on a trader's profile before sending cards.

Check ratings & history

Aim for traders with multiple completed trades and positive ratings.

Use tracking + insurance

Always ship with tracking, and add insurance for any card worth more than $20.

Keep chats on TradeDex

Don't move chats to texts or DMs — our messaging keeps a record if something goes wrong.

Report shady listings

Hit the report button on any listing or message that feels off. We review every report.

Photograph everything

Photo the cards and the shipping label before they leave your house.
