Why Zykla
We didn't copy what existed. We asked what a circular marketplace should feel like if it truly put people first.
Zykla connects you with people nearby. Less shipping, more community. Every transaction strengthens a local network.
Transparent pricing, honest listings, and no hidden fees. Fairness isn't a feature. It's the foundation.
No endless scrolling through noise. Zykla surfaces what matters: quality items, from real people, that fit your life.
How it works
We removed everything that wasn't essential. What's left is a marketplace that actually works for you.
Post what you no longer need, or discover something you've been looking for. Simple, clean, instant.
Zykla finds the closest match. Your neighbourhood first, your city next. Connection over shipping.
Your payment is held in escrow until you confirm the item is as described. Supports Twint and card. A transparent buyer protection fee applies — disclosed clearly before every trade. No surprises.
Meet nearby or arrange delivery. Confirm receipt and the funds are released. No disputes, no risk.
What we stand for
Proximity isn't just geographic. It's the feeling of buying from someone you could meet for coffee.
No inflated fees, no dark patterns. Both sides of every transaction deserve to feel respected.
Circular commerce works best when it strengthens the places where people already gather.
Every step that can be removed, has been. What remains is only what matters to you.
Less volume, more signal. We'd rather show you five great things than five hundred mediocre ones.
Impact
Every trade stays local. No vans, no packaging, no emissions from shipping.
That is the average carbon saving per item bought second-hand instead of new.
The average Swiss wardrobe holds that much in unworn clothing. Time to turn it into cash.
400,000 people within 5km of Zürich city centre. Your next buyer is probably on your street.
We are working to bring secure pickup points at SBB stations so you can trade even when schedules do not align. Help us get there by joining early access.
Early access
No spam. No pressure. Just early access and updates.
