Five steps.
No fees.

1. 1

   Join with your Cambridge email

   Sign up with your @cam.ac.uk or @cantab.ac.uk address. We email you a 6-digit code to prove it's yours, then you choose a password and add your name and college.

2. 2

   List something in a minute

   Add up to five photos, a title, a short description and a price — or put it in Free Stuff. Rooms and sublets get extra details like move-in date and length of stay.

3. 3

   Find what you need

   Browse the newest items, filter by category or college, or search. Search forgives typos, so “texbook” still finds textbooks. Can't find it? Post a Wanted request saying what you're looking for, and members who have one can message you.

4. 4

   Message the seller

   Press “Message seller” and a chat opens in your inbox. Agree a price and somewhere to meet. If you're away, we'll email you when a reply arrives.

5. 5

   Meet in person

   Pay when you collect — there are no fees and nothing is paid through the site. Once it's gone, the seller marks it as sold.

Staying safe

• Meet somewhere public on campus, like a college porters' lodge or a library entrance.
• Check the item before handing over money. Never pay in advance or by bank transfer to someone you haven't met.
• For rooms, view in person and get any agreement in writing before paying a deposit.
• Tickets for May Balls and events may have resale rules — check with the organiser.
• If something looks wrong, use “Report this listing” at the bottom of the item page.
