Swapping is the most underrated feature on Refit. It is simple: you offer one of your items in exchange for someone else item. No money involved. Just two people refreshing their wardrobes at the same time.
Here is how it works: find a listing that is marked as available for swap. Tap Request Swap and pick one of your own listings to offer. The other person reviews your offer and can accept, decline, or suggest a different item from your closet.
Good swap etiquette: offer items of roughly similar value and condition. If your item is worth 15 dollars and theirs is worth 50 dollars, they will probably decline. Look for matches where both sides feel like they are getting a fair deal.
Tips for successful swaps: keep your listings up to date with clear photos and accurate descriptions. The more items you have listed, the more swap opportunities you will get. Be responsive — if someone sends you a swap request, reply within a day.
What if a swap goes wrong? The same buyer protection applies. Both parties document the items before shipping. If what you receive does not match the listing, you can open a dispute.
Swapping is the ultimate circular fashion move. No money changes hands, no new resources are consumed, and two items find new homes. Try it.
