About Tradeza
South Africa's trusted online marketplace — connecting buyers and sellers from Cape Town to Limpopo.
Our Mission
Tradeza exists to make buying and selling simple, local, and free for every South African. We believe that a good deal shouldn't require a middleman — just two people, a fair price, and a handshake.
What is Tradeza?
Tradeza is a free online classifieds platform built specifically for South Africans. Whether you are looking to sell a second-hand car, find a flat to rent, offload old electronics, or swap fashion items — Tradeza is the place to do it.

What Tradeza Does Not Do
To keep things simple, transparent, and safe, Tradeza intentionally does not handle:
-
Payment processing — all payments happen directly between buyers and sellers. Tradeza never holds, transfers, or requests money on anyone's behalf.
-
Delivery or shipping — arranging how an item gets to the buyer is entirely up to the two parties involved.
-
Transaction guarantees — we do not act as an escrow or provide purchase protection. Always inspect before paying.
-
Verification of item condition or seller identity beyond what users voluntarily provide on their profiles.
Proudly South African
From Johannesburg to Durban, Pretoria to Cape Town, Tradeza is built for the people of South Africa. We are proud to support our local communities by keeping trade simple, honest, and accessible to everyone — whether you are a first-time seller or a seasoned trader.
