Seller creates a listing
The seller adds item details, photos, condition, location, and preferred delivery mode.
SwapZen is designed to reduce the uncertainty that usually sits between listing discovery and transaction completion.
Before any listing goes live.
Money stays safe during transit.
Delivery result decides everything.
This is the first execution phase because it proves the trust layer with the simplest transaction type.
The seller adds item details, photos, condition, location, and preferred delivery mode.
SwapZen checks whether photos, title, and category make sense together.
Approved listings become visible. Suspicious or mismatched listings can be rejected or reviewed.
The buyer pays inside the protected flow instead of sending money directly to a stranger.
Delivery progress determines whether the transaction can be completed safely.
Successful delivery triggers seller payout. Failed delivery opens the buyer refund path.
AI-assisted checks help identify category mismatch, title mismatch, restricted items, poor media, duplicate images, and suspicious listing quality.
It is intentionally conservative. If a listing looks wrong, SwapZen can stop it before it becomes someone else's problem.
Buyer pays, payment is held, delivery determines seller payout or buyer refund path.
Users can exchange item-for-item or combine item plus money under a protected flow.
Useful items can move to verified local users without turning the community into spam.
