Community Guidelines

This is a platform built by golfers for golfers. Everything below is how we keep it that way. Treat people how you'd want to be treated on the course.

What makes a good listing

Clear photos, honest condition, realistic value. That's the whole recipe.

  • Photos - shoot your own gear in decent light. Stock photos and manufacturer renders get removed.
  • Condition - describe wear honestly. "Like new" means like new. "Good" means played but cared for. If it has a crown scratch, say so.
  • Value - price what you'd actually pay today for it. Wildly high asks get skipped and wildly low asks usually mean something's wrong.
  • What you want - the "looking for" field is what gets you matched. Be specific. "A G430 Max 10.5°" finds trades. "Drivers" doesn't.

How a trade works

  1. Somebody proposes a trade. You accept, counter, or decline.
  2. Both sides sign the digital agreement - it locks in who's shipping what.
  3. Both sides ship within 3 business days with tracking and a drop-off photo.
  4. Both sides confirm delivery. The trade closes. You can leave reviews.

End-to-end it's usually 7-10 days. Every step is logged on the trade page so you always know where things stand.

What isn't allowed

  • Counterfeit gear. Fakes get removed and the account gets flagged. No warnings.
  • Scam attempts. Anyone asking for payment via Venmo, Zelle, PayPal F&F, or gift cards is scamming you. Report and block.
  • Off-platform deals. Moving a trade to text or email strips away the agreement, the tracking, and the dispute protection. Don't do it.
  • Harassment. Rude, aggressive, or threatening messages end the account.
  • Spam / throwaway accounts. One account per person. Mass-listing the same item across burner profiles gets everything removed.
  • Non-golf items. Golf gear only. This isn't eBay.

Reporting bad actors

If you see something off - a counterfeit listing, a pushy DM, a suspicious request - hit the Report button on the listing or user. Email us directly at support@golftradr.comwith screenshots if you've got them. We read every report and usually respond within a day.

How disputes get handled

If the gear doesn't arrive, shows up broken, or isn't what was described - open a dispute from the trade page. We review the signed agreement, the messages, the drop-off photo, and the tracking, then decide a fair outcome. Most disputes wrap up in 5 business days.

Dispute decisions are final. Submitting a bad-faith dispute to try to keep both your gear and the other person's gets the account banned.

If you like it here, bring a friend

Every member has a referral link on their profile. When a friend signs up through it and starts a paid plan, you both get a free month tacked onto your subscription. No limit on how many people you can refer. It's the cheapest way to build a healthier trading pool for everyone.

The spirit of the place

Golf is a small world. Somebody you trade with today is someone you might end up standing next to on the first tee at a muni three states over. Be the person they'd trade with again.
