The few rules
Last updated October 7, 2026.
The short version
DinkSwap connects pickleball players to swap, sell and buy paddles with each other. We host listings and offers; the deal is between the players.
Money moves peer-to-peer
DinkSwap never touches money and has no checkout. If a swap includes cash, you settle it yourself — Venmo, Zelle, cash, whatever you agree on. Use the same judgment you would buying from a stranger at the courts.
Be straight in your listings
List real paddles in honest condition. Counterfeits and misrepresentation get your account deleted. Condition ratings are your word — buyers rate the same way you do.
Shipping and meeting up
Shipping and pick-up are your agreements. If you ship, agreed price usually includes shipping unless you say otherwise in the offer thread — say it in the thread so there's no surprise.
One anonymous alias per person
One account per human. Aliases exist so nobody gets spammed or judged before a swap — don't use yours (or a second account) to harass, manipulate prices, or dodge a deal you accepted.
Affiliate links
Some paddle links on the guides and quiz are affiliate links to Pickleball Central. If you buy through one, they pay us a commission — it never changes your price. Swaps on DinkSwap itself have nothing to do with it.
The deal is the deal
When you accept an offer, the paddle is reserved and the thread is closed. Backing out of a deal you accepted is the fastest way off the network.
