Team Nextdoor
Nextdoor is a great place to buy and sell items to your neighbors. With For Sale & Free, you can build neighborhood connections, give back to your local community and of course find items for your everyday needs. .
When offering or seeking goods or services on Nextdoor, neighbors should make sure that they’re complying with local laws and not engaging in illegal transactions. Posts may not include unrealistic or exaggerated claims, and must accurately depict the product or service being offered.
All For Sale and Free posts must abide by our community guidelines. In particular, the Do Not Engage in Harmful Activity guideline which prohibits fraud or scams.
When posting items that you are selling or giving away select the “Sell or give away an item” post option. As it is not currently possible to move a post into the For Sale and Free section, posts without this selection may be reported and removed.
What’s allowed in For Sale and Free:
Gently used personal items.
Homemade goods in the Neighbor Made category.
Free or paid casual services (i.e.: babysitting, etc.) in the Neighbor Services category.
Property for rent or sale, by individual owners.
Pet adoption, or rehoming for a modest fee. Rehoming fees should only be used to recoup costs for food, vaccinations, and/ or other veterinary care.
What’s not allowed in For Sale and Free:
