Trade Post turns your subreddit’s posting rules into a composer, records trades, and keeps the evidence. Listings stay real Reddit posts and offers stay real Reddit comments, made under the trader’s own account.

​
What it does

  • Enforces your rules at publish time. Title schema, region format, photo requirements and condition vocabulary become the composer. A listing that breaks them is never posted, so it never reaches your queue.
  • Updates trade counts. Confirmed trades write user flair, or post the comment your existing bot already reads.
  • Records every resolved trade on a mods-only wiki page in your subreddit, with a permalink to the thread. Reddit versions every revision.
  • Answers “has this trader done this before”. Look up a trader for completions, back-outs with the stated reason, and people who went silent past a deadline.

​
What it does not do

No payments, no escrow, no linking out to a payment site. No dispute arbitration; both sides confirm and the app keeps the record. No cross-subreddit reputation, and no trade history visible to anyone but you.

​
Requirements

The app account needs moderator permissions in your subreddit.
Four features need it:
  • Writing user flair, for trade counts.
  • Writing the ledger, on a mods-only unlisted wiki page.
  • Posting the closing notice when a stalled trade resolves.
  • Filing a trader’s report into your modqueue.
The flair half is optional. Trade Post keeps its own count in every mode, so declining it costs nothing.
