SWAP MATCH
Trade instead of buying
Pick games off your own shelf, balance the trade with cash in either direction, and send it. The seller sees exactly what they get and what they owe.
COMING Q4 · EUROPE
Swap, buy and sell board games across Europe
Propelva turns the shelf you have into the shelf you want. Offer a game you are done with, add a little cash to even things out, and both parcels ship to a locker near you.

Free to list. Local pickup swaps carry no fee.
Everything a trade needs, in one thread
An offer, the money, the shipping labels and the conversation all live in the same place — so nobody has to trust a stranger on a forum.
BUYER PROTECTION
Payment held until it lands
Every paid deal runs through held payment. Nothing reaches the other side until you confirm receipt, and if the parcel never shows you open a dispute instead of chasing a bank transfer.
REAL FILTERS
Filter like a collector, not a shopper
Player count with exact or supports matching, playtime range, weight, mechanics, themes, recommended age, condition, edition language and language-independent games.
SELL IN A MINUTE
A listing starts with one search
Type the title and pick it from the catalog — players, playtime, weight and artwork fill themselves in. All that is left is a photo, a condition and a price.
How a swap works
Three steps, and the app handles the rest of it.
01
Offer what you have
Open a listing you want and pick games from your own shelf to offer against it. Drafts count, so a game you have not published yet can still go into a trade.
02
Even it out with cash
Values rarely match. Add a top-up on either side — you pay a little, or ask them to — in your own currency, and see your total before you commit.
03
Both parcels ship
Each side picks a locker or pickup point and ships their own game. Confirm receipt and the deal closes with a rating on both sides.
The filters actually filter
Every control maps to a real query against the catalog, and every one of them round-trips: set it from a chip and it is still set when you open the full filter sheet.

Questions
What does it cost?
Listing is free, and a swap collected in person carries no fee. On a paid deal there is a protection fee and a delivery cost, both shown in full before you pay anything.
How does a swap work?
You pick one or more games from your own shelf, optionally add cash on either side to balance the values, and send the offer. The seller reviews it, accepts, and you confirm within the hold shown on the offer.
Is my money safe?
Payments are held rather than passed straight to the seller. They are released once you confirm the game arrived as described, and a dispute can be opened if it did not.
How do games ship?
Through parcel lockers and pickup points — InPost, Packeta and Furgonetka at launch. In a swap each side ships their own parcel and pays only their own leg.
Which countries is it in?
Poland, Czechia, Germany and Austria from Q4. Which listings you can see depends on which shipping lanes reach you, so cross-border browsing is opened market by market.
Can shops sell on Propelva?
Yes. Store listings are marked with a STORE badge and are sold, not swapped — swapping stays between private collectors.
