What is TheTradingPost.ai?

TheTradingPost.ai is an AI-powered local classifieds marketplace where you can buy and sell items by simply snapping a photo. Our AI generates the title, description, category, and suggested price automatically — making it a faster alternative to Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and OfferUp.

How does the AI listing creator work?

Take a photo of the item you want to sell. Our AI analyzes the image to identify the product, then writes a clear title and description, picks the right category, and suggests a fair market price. The whole process takes under 60 seconds, and you can edit anything before posting.

Is TheTradingPost.ai free to use?

Yes. New sellers get 5 free listings to try the platform with no credit card required. Listings stay active for 90 days. Buying is always free.

How is this different from Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist?

Three main differences: (1) AI does the writing and pricing for you, (2) listings are verified by AI to reduce scams and low-quality posts, and (3) you don't need a Facebook account or have to deal with Craigslist's outdated interface.

Where is TheTradingPost.ai available?

We currently serve buyers and sellers across the United States, with full county-level location targeting in all 50 states. International expansion is in progress, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.

How does TheTradingPost.ai prevent scams?

Our AI verifies that listing photos match the title and description before publication. We also mask seller email addresses with proxy emails and hide phone numbers until both parties are in an active conversation, protecting your personal information.
