Buy and sell gaming items, gear, services, and digital goods.

Browsing the Marketplace

Visit /marketplace to browse all listings. Use the filters to narrow results by:

  • Category: Gaming gear, peripherals, accounts, in-game items, gift cards, services
  • Game: Filter items associated with a specific game
  • Price range: Set minimum and maximum price
  • Condition: New, like new, used, or digital (no condition)
  • Seller rating: Filter by sellers above a star rating
  • Location / Shipping: Local pickup vs worldwide shipping

Click any listing to see the full product details, seller profile, photos, and reviews from previous buyers.

Buying an Item

1

Find a listing

Browse or search for the item you want. Add it to your Wishlist if you want to watch the price or come back later.
2

Review listing details

Check photos, description, seller rating, and shipping options carefully before purchasing. Read the seller's return policy.
3

Add to cart or buy now

Click Add to Cart to continue shopping, or Buy Now to proceed directly to checkout.
4

Checkout

At /checkout, select your delivery address, choose a payment method (Nitrade wallet, card, mobile money), and confirm your order.
5

Track your order

After purchase, view your order at /orders. You'll receive email notifications for order confirmation, dispatch, and delivery.
⚠️

Only purchase items through Nitrade's secure checkout. Never pay sellers directly outside the platform — Nitrade's buyer protection only covers on-platform transactions.

Creating a Listing (Selling)

1

Go to Create Listing

Navigate to Marketplace → Create Listing.
2

Choose a category

Select the most accurate category for your item. This determines which filters buyers can use to find your listing.
3

Add photos

Upload at least 3 photos (JPG/PNG, max 10MB each). Include front, back, and any defect shots for physical items. Good photos dramatically improve your chances of selling quickly.
4

Write a description

Be thorough: include the condition, any accessories included, age of the item, and any relevant specs or game compatibility.
5

Set the price

Enter the sale price. Enable Offers if you're open to negotiation. For digital goods, enable Instant Delivery with the digital code or file upload.
6

Choose shipping options

For physical items, select whether you offer local pickup, domestic shipping, or international shipping. Set the shipping fee or mark it as free shipping.
7

Publish

Click Publish Listing. Your item goes live immediately. You can edit or deactivate a listing at any time from Dashboard → Products.

Managing Orders

All your orders (as buyer and seller) are accessible from Dashboard → Orders.

As a buyer:

  • Track shipment status and view tracking numbers
  • Mark an order as received once it arrives
  • Leave a review for the seller
  • Open a dispute if the item doesn't arrive or doesn't match the listing

As a seller:

  • View new orders and buyer details
  • Mark items as shipped and enter the tracking number
  • Issue refunds (partially or fully) if needed
  • View your sales history and earnings

Buyer Protection & Disputes

Nitrade holds payments in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt or the automatic confirmation window closes (7 days after delivery). This protects you if:

  • The item was never shipped
  • The item is significantly different from the listing description
  • The item arrived damaged

To open a dispute, go to Orders → [Order] → Open Dispute. Provide photos and a description. Nitrade's support team will review within 3–5 business days and issue a ruling. If the dispute is found in your favour, you receive a full refund.
