How Trade My Toys works
Whether you're clearing out the toy box or hunting for a bargain, here's everything you need to know.
Selling a toy
STEP 1
Create your free account
Sign up in under a minute — no listing fees, no subscriptions.
STEP 2
Snap & list your toy
Add a few photos, a description and a price. Our tips help you sell faster.
STEP 3
A buyer pays securely
We hold the payment safely while the trade is completed.
STEP 4
Get paid
Once the buyer confirms, your money lands in your account — minus our small 6% fee.
Buying a toy
STEP 1
Find the perfect toy
Search and filter thousands of pre-loved toys by category and age.
STEP 2
Buy with protection
Every purchase is covered by buyer protection and secure checkout.
STEP 3
Collect or get it posted
Arrange local pickup or have it shipped right to your door.
Swapping with credits
Prefer to trade instead of buy? Use credits and swaps to exchange toys directly with other families.
STEP 1
Top up credits
Buy credits in your wallet — $1 AUD = 1 credit. Use them to trade without cash changing hands.
STEP 2
Make a swap offer
On any listing open to swaps, offer one of your own toys, credits, cash, or a mix of all three.
STEP 3
Seller accepts
When the owner accepts, credits move instantly and item ownership transfers automatically.
Our fees, kept simple
Listing is always free. When your toy sells, Trade My Toys keeps a small flat service fee of 6% to cover secure payments and buyer protection. For a $50 toy, that's just $3.00.
