May we use your location?

This shows how far an ad is from you. It stays on this device. We do not sell it.

Gift cards are never payment on Paddle & Trade

If someone asks you to buy gift cards or send a wire, report them. Pay in person with cash or Interac e-Transfer after you look at the item.

These first ads are examples from around Edmonton, Spruce Grove, and Stony Plain so the shelves are not blank. They are not live offers. Post your own after you sign in.

Campsites

Places to camp, with a map. Saving one here is a reminder. It is not a reservation.

The Paddle Handshake

How safety works

Useful when the item is a sled, a canoe, or a pair of binoculars — not a five-dollar mug.

  1. Step 1

    A phone number is not a check

    Phone added means the person typed a phone number. We do not check it yet.

  2. Step 2

    Pay in person

    Pay in person at a public Safe Spot after you look at the item. Cash or Interac e-Transfer at the meetup. Paddle Hold (secure payment) is coming soon.

  3. Step 3

    Meet at a Safe Spot

    The seller offers two pickup days. The buyer agrees to one. Then you meet at a public library, a recreation centre, or the RCMP detachment.

  4. Step 4

    Look, then pay

    Look at the item first. Cash or Interac e-Transfer at the meetup. Coming soon: people who miss meetups will lose standing. That is not enforced today. You can still sell.

The Trade protocol

  1. Step 1

    A phone number is not a check

    Phone added means the person typed a phone number. We do not check it yet.

  2. Step 2

    Compare the two things

    Look at what each person is offering. If one thing is worth more, agree the difference in person. Do not send a wire.

  3. Step 3

    Pay the difference in person

    Cash or Interac e-Transfer after you both look. Paddle Hold (secure payment) is coming soon.

  4. Step 4

    Meet at a Safe Spot

    Bring both items. Look them over in public. A library, a recreation centre, or the RCMP detachment.

  5. Step 5

    Tap We swapped

    If both items match, you both tap. A missed meetup after you are marked there still counts.
