What is TBBN?

TBBN — Trade By Barter Network — helps people trade what they have for what they need. You can list an item for sale, for trade or both, offer your own items in exchange for someone else's, and trade with other people or with participating stores. TBBN Space lets you book a real place to meet another trader, leave an item for someone to collect, or work from a desk or room.

Businesses use TBBN in two ways: the Trade Engine adds trading to their own store or platform, and TBBN Space lets them host bookable space or add Space booking to their own app.

What does TBBN cost?

Members don't pay TBBN to list, offer or trade. A store trade can carry the store's own charges — taxes, delivery and so on — shown at that store's checkout. A Space booking shows its price, processing fee and tax before you pay. Businesses pay for a plan; see Plans and billing and the pricing reference. Plans, eligibility and availability vary by product and country.
