HostelBucket is a student marketplace where college students buy and sell second-hand items within their own campus — books, cycles, coolers, electronics and hostel essentials. It is free to use and takes no commission on anything you sell.
Any student at a supported campus. Anyone can browse listings without an account; to post an item or contact a seller you sign up with your email, and your campus is matched from your college email domain so you are buying and selling inside your own student community.
Search or browse the listings from your campus, open the one you want, and request the seller’s contact details. You agree the price between yourselves and meet on campus to hand the item over — HostelBucket never handles the payment.
Choose Sell an item, add a few photos, a title, a price and a category, then post. Students on your campus can find it straight away. Listing is free, there is no commission, and you keep the full amount you sell for.
Meet in a busy public place on campus in daylight, and check the item properly before you pay for it. Your phone number stays hidden until you choose to share it, and you should never send money in advance to someone you have not met. If a listing or a buyer seems wrong, report it.
Yes. Open My listings, pick the listing, and use Edit to change the photos, price or details, or Delete to take it down. A deleted listing stops appearing in the marketplace immediately.
