Getting Started

How It Works

College Marketplace is a private, student-only marketplace. Here's how to get started in three steps.

1. Verify your student email

Sign up with your school .edu email address. We send a one-time code to confirm you're a real, currently enrolled student. Only verified students from your school can join — so you always know who you're dealing with.

2. Browse or post a listing

Find textbooks, dorm furniture, electronics, event tickets, and more — all posted by students on your own campus. Selling something? Add a photo, set a price, and post it in under a minute. Want extra visibility? You can optionally feature a listing to move it to the top of search.

3. Message and meet on campus

Chat with other verified students right in the app. Once you've agreed on a price, meet in a public spot on or near campus to complete the deal. College Marketplace doesn't process payments — you arrange payment directly with the other student, the way you both prefer.

Why students choose College Marketplace

  • Verified students only — no randoms, no bots, no strangers from outside your school.
  • Campus-focused — everything is local, so pickups are easy and shipping is rarely needed.
  • Built-in safety — report or block anyone, anytime.
