Trust & safety
StudySwaps is a second-hand marketplace for verified students in Nepal. We sit between buyer and seller: we collect each item and deliver it, so you never have to meet a stranger or share your address. Here is how it works for buyers and sellers, what it costs and how we keep it safe.
From browsing to your door, in five steps.
Find books, laptops, furniture, hostel items and more from verified students. Browse everything or start with your city.
Check the photos, description and condition label, then add the item to your cart. Second-hand items are usually one of a kind, so once an item is paid for it is reserved for you and removed from sale.
Your total is the item price + delivery fee + Rs. 20 platform fee, shown before you pay. StudySwaps holds the money; it is not handed to the seller straight away.
The seller hands the item to StudySwaps. We check it and deliver it to your address, and you can follow every step on your order page. You and the seller never meet or share addresses.
Check the item when it arrives and confirm it in the app. If something is not as described, report it from your order page as soon as you receive it. See refunds & returns.
Turn things you no longer need into money, without meeting anyone.
Create a free account. Anyone can sign up; identity verification is only asked for when you start selling.
Upload a clear photo of one ID document — your school ID, college/university ID, citizenship certificate or national ID card — from your camera or your gallery. It is stored privately and reviewed by our team, usually within 24 hours.
Add a title, description, condition, price, the pickup address and 1–3 real photos of the actual item. Start a listing.
New listings are reviewed by our team before they go live, and you are notified once yours is approved.
When a buyer pays, you are notified. Accept it promptly and have the item packed and ready.
You give the item to StudySwaps (or our delivery partner). We deliver it, so you never have to meet the buyer or share your phone number.
After a sale your earnings sit as pending. They become available as soon as the order is marked delivered.
Request a withdrawal to your eSewa number from Rs. 100. Requests are processed within 2 working days.
These are the same numbers used to price real orders, and your total is always shown before you pay.
Example: for a Rs. 1,000 item within 10 km, the buyer pays Rs. 1,170 (Rs. 1,000 + Rs. 150 delivery + Rs. 20 platform fee) and the seller earns Rs. 950, after the Rs. 50 commission. Full details in prices & fees and seller payouts.
Every seller uploads a real ID document — school, college, citizenship or national ID — before their first listing.
Verification photos are stored privately. Only you and the small team that reviews verification requests can see them, never other users.
StudySwaps is the mediator. The buyer's money is held by us, items travel through us, and buyers and sellers never see each other's address or phone number.
