Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying, selling and trading sneakers.

Buying

How do I buy a pair I like?

Open the listing and use the "Message seller" button to ask questions and agree on price, payment and shipping. Always confirm size, condition and whether the box is included before you pay.

How do I know a listing is legit?

Check the seller's reviews, ask for extra photos (tags, insoles, box label) and compare against official release photos. If something feels off, walk away and let our team know through the contact page.

Can I post what I am looking for?

Yes. Create an Offering and set the listing type to "Wanted" so sellers with the pair you need can reach out to you.

Selling

What does it cost to list?

Listing on Sneak.trade is free. Create an account, verify your email and publish an Offering with photos and the details buyers care about.

What makes a great listing?

Clear, well-lit photos from every angle, honest condition notes, the correct US size and alt text on each image. Listings with complete details sell noticeably faster.

How should I ship sold pairs?

Ship in a sturdy outer box (never just the shoebox), use a tracked service and share the tracking number with the buyer through messages.

Trading

How does trading work?

Set your Offering's listing type to "Trade" or "Sell or trade" and describe what you are hoping to get. Interested members will message you with offers.

How do we keep a trade fair?

Agree on condition, sizes and any cash difference in writing through messages, exchange tracking numbers and ship at the same time.

What if a trade goes wrong?

Keep all communication on Sneak.trade so there is a record, leave an honest review and contact our team so we can help.
