Kizoodle competitor

Swango doesn't have as many listings for children's (and adult) clothes, but it has a slick interface. For example, listings have the following:

Fashion Police Citation (?)

  • No Longer in Style

  • Poor Condition
  • Wrong Category
  • Inappropriate Content
So a clueless parent doesn't accidentally swap for an item that is, like, SO two months ago. Or whatever.

The site also donates a portion of each trade to a good cause, so there is actual money involved. In contrast, kizoodle just uses a point system that corresponds roughly to USD and all pecuniary responsibility is on the person who ships. Personally, I do prefer a site that bypasses d- (dollar) commerce entirely and uses an alternate currency.

My favorite website to trade baby items is www.swapbabygoods.com . I have been a victim of points system before, the site just vanished and I was stuck with a whole lot of points. I spent so much on shipping and got nothing in return.
