Frequently asked questions
Is Barteria really free?
Yes — completely. Barteria never involves money between neighbors; you swap items directly, and no dollars change hands. Ever.
Is it safe to meet up with a stranger?
Always meet in a public place — a coffee shop, a park, a building lobby — during the day. Every neighbor carries a rating from past swaps, and you can report or block anyone in one tap.
Which Austin neighborhoods are you in?
We're open across Austin, with a focus on Downtown, Hyde Park, East Austin, South Congress, Zilker and the other neighborhoods listed above. You can join from anywhere in the US; you'll see the most items where more neighbors have joined.
Do I need to be 18?
Yes. Barteria is for adults 18 and older — swaps happen in person with people you don't already know.
