Barter Together

Community guidelines

A few ground rules


Barter Together works because neighbors look out for each other. Here's what we ask of everyone.

  • An hour is an hour

    Every skill is worth the same. No prices, no haggling, no keeping score beyond your balance.

  • Show up, or say so early

    If plans change, tell your neighbor as soon as you know. After a first friendly warning, a no-show can cost an hour.

  • Be honest about what you offer

    Describe what you can really do, and treat every neighbor's home, time and things with care.

  • Keep contact info private

    Emails are shared only after you both accept a trade. Share your phone number or address only when you're comfortable, and please don't pass anyone else's along.

"Every trade here is between neighbors, not the app. Use your good judgment, trust your gut, and know that you're choosing to take part on your own terms."
