How it works

An exchange built around trust and intelligence.

Traidex sits between buyer and seller — predicting fair pricing, matching the right counterparties, and holding funds in escrow until both sides are satisfied. Here's exactly how each side experiences it.

For buyers

Browse openly. Buy with protection.

  1. Step 1

    Find the lot

    Filter by category, condition, brand and city. No login needed to browse or message a seller a question.

  2. Step 2

    Buy or make an offer

    Pay the asking price, or send an offer for the lot. Sellers can accept, counter or decline.

  3. Step 3

    Funds held in escrow

    Your payment sits with Traidex until you confirm the kit arrived as described. Then it's released to the seller.

For sellers

Verified once. Listing forever.

  1. Step 1

    Get verified

    Upload your CIPC registration and VAT (if applicable). Approved in ~1 working day.

  2. Step 2

    List your surplus

    One form per lot — photos, qty, condition, pickup location, price. Toggle 'accepts offers' if you're flexible.

  3. Step 3

    Coordinate & deliver

    Chat with the buyer in-platform, agree pickup or freight. Mark dispatched. Funds released on confirmation.

Why an exchange, and not WhatsApp groups?

Verified counterparties

Every seller is a registered SA business — KYC'd before they list a single lot.

Escrow as standard

Funds never leave Traidex's account until you confirm the stock landed safely.

Intelligence baked in

Predictive pricing and demand signals on every listing — from day one, not bolted on later.
