Marketplace Guide

Your hub for buying, selling, and promoting gear, events, and services. Here's how to make the most of it.

What You Can Post

The marketplace is for more than just used gear. You can list:

  • •Gear: New or used equipment, from basketballs to yoga mats.
  • •Events: Announce a pickup game, a local tournament, or a group run.
  • •Services: Offer coaching, personal training, or other sports-related services. Trainers and gyms can promote their expertise and facilities.
  • •Community Posts: Looking for a doubles partner, starting a new team, or are you a gym announcing a new class schedule? Post it here.

Promoting Your Listing with Boosts

You earn PlayPoints from your workouts. You can spend those points to “boost” your listings, giving them more visibility in search results and on the marketplace page. Higher-tier members (All-Star and Legend) get free monthly boosts and even unlimited opportunities to boost.

What does “Unlimited Boosts” really mean?

To keep the marketplace fair and prevent spam, our “unlimited” boosts for Legend-tier members are governed by smart controls. It's not about endless promotion, but endless opportunity to promote smartly.

The Rules of Fair Boosting

Frequency Limits

You can only boost a specific listing once every 24 hours. This encourages thoughtful promotion over spamming the button.

Diminishing Returns

Repeatedly boosting the same item without updating it may have a reduced effect over time. Fresh listings get more attention.

Boosts Expire

A standard boost automatically expires after 48–72 hours. This keeps the marketplace dynamic and requires users to re-engage to stay visible.

Visibility Queue

Only a certain number of listings can have premium "top-of-page" placement at once. Boosts place you in a rotating queue for these valuable spots.

Safety & Transactions

  • •For safety, always arrange to meet in well-lit, public places.
  • •Sandlotz is a venue; we are not part of the transaction. The agreement is between the buyer and seller.
  • •All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We never see your card details.
  • •Read our Terms of Service for full details.
