What is Tradey Bay

What is Tradey Bay?

Tradey Bay is a mobile marketplace that combines classified ads, live auctions, and a jobs board into a single platform with a unified identity and trust system.

Built for Africa first, designed to scale globally. Africa has 1.4 billion people with rapidly growing internet penetration — yet no single platform combines buy/sell, auctions, and jobs. Most informal commerce happens through WhatsApp groups. Tradey Bay changes that.
