Good app bad users
While I have been able to sell on the app here and there the people who use the app, in my experience are awful. Many messages from people who only lowball by 100+ dollars. Many many MANY messages about only wanting to trade for their items that are no where near the value of mine to the point where I put no trades in the titles and still get kids asking to trade.
Only thing I don’t like about the app is the money not being available until the buyer says “it’s as described” witch I have found some just forget to do so.
Also wish it was comparable with PayPal. Would make everything much easier and smoother.

Excellent Customer Experience
This site is a great way to realize the value of used sports equipment that is still in good condition by matching motivated buyers and sellers around the country. The world is full of high quality used sports gear that is looking for a new home. My son was able to get a high quality catchers mitt for a fraction of the new price that does not need any break in time and performs great. The experience from negotiation to receiving the item was seamless and efficient. I would recommend this site to anyone looking to buy or sell used sports equipment.

Updated review
I previously reviewed this app and give it a lower score. However I have used it more now and have gotten used to the format. When compared with eBay, this app is much easier for people who like to try new gear all the time. The main thing, though, is that you need to have access to a printer for the mailing labels. On eBay you could in theory sell something then hand write an address on a box and go pay for shipping at the post office. Printers are not that expensive, I guess. This app also takes the guesswork out of charging for shipping, which is nice. Combine that with the built-in offer and messaging features and pretty much every transaction is smoother than eBay.

Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback - to be clear, sellers are paid immediately and can withdraw the funds once an item is delivered. This is part of our buyer guarantee to ensure both buyers and sellers are happy with the transaction. We also provide sellers with a prep-paid shipping label to save them the trouble of creating one themselves and so that we can offer discounted shipping rates to buyers. Hope you give it another shot!
Essential to a disabled veteran nonprofit
As the Director of our disabled veteran nonprofit, I can attest to the quality of people who are selling their items on SidelineSwap. We have purchased several items for our organization and have successfully negotiated to meet our very tight budget. Without SidelineSwap and the high caliber of people on this site, we would not have found the small successes that we have had in getting our program equipment.

Not transparent
I was not aware that 12% is deducted from the purchase when you sell an item. It may be in small print somewhere but they don’t make a point of informing you when you list an item. In addition, the shipping label did not cover the cost of shipping. I contacted customer support and they did nothing about it. I tried to delete an item and it still have not been able to. The instructions through customer support were not helpful. Overall, not too satisfied.

Easy Money
Super easy to list items, and mine sold within a few days. You’ll get more for the items than you would selling it to a used equipment store.
FYI- if you use the postage label option they give you, make sure you ship it that day, or the next. If you don’t, they might not take it because of the date. It happened to me. Even if you re print it, the label still has the old date on it.

The selling fees are too high
If you’re planning on making a profit of anything as a reseller do not come to this place. Their selling fees are outrageous, after selling your items you have to wait till the buyer receives it and accept as advertised, if by any chance the buyer is a dishonest or scammer you can easily lose your item and the money. You can send anything to anyone and if they decide they don not want to pay for it, they can claim it as “wrong item” “defective” or “not as advertised” and send you a piece of brick back that weights the same as the item you’ve sent him and thats it because the buyer always have the right for sideline apparently. A total waste of time and money👎🏾
