Why Campus Needs exists
My best friend at the University of San Francisco sold her bed frame online. The buyer came to campus, took it, then reversed the payment. She lost 55 dollars and her sense of safety on her own campus. She is not alone. 1 in 3 secondhand marketplace buyers were scammed in the last two years, with twenty somethings hit most often. Campus Needs fixes it: verified students, escrow protected, on campus only.

Why this one works
Campus marketplaces have been tried. We studied every one that failed. Here is what makes Campus Needs different.
Real Dons only
Campus Needs is a marketplace for verified University of San Francisco students. List what you no longer need, find what you do, and meet at the Drop Desk on campus to hand it over. No shipping. No strangers. Just your campus community.
Payments in flow
Competitors at 240 colleges never integrated payments. Every Campus Needs transaction runs through Stripe, so scams are structurally impossible.
Campus pickup only
No shipping. No parking lots. You meet someone you already walk past in Gleeson or Lo Schiavo, not a stranger from the internet.
Have something to sell or offer?
Submit your item or service. We verify your USF email and list it for you.
Quick Answers
Is Campus Needs only for University of San Francisco students?
Yes. Campus Needs is built specifically for University of San Francisco students. Everyone signs in with their @usfca.edu email, so you know you're dealing with real classmates.
Do I have to pay to browse?
Nope. Browsing Campus Needs is completely free. You can see what other students are selling without signing up.
How do payments work?
Payments run through Stripe. Your card data never touches our servers. Stripe is PCI DSS Level 1 certified, the highest payment security standard. We do not accept Venmo, cash, or Zelle, so scams, reversed payments, and fake payment screenshots are not possible on Campus Needs.
What can I buy or sell here?
Furniture, textbooks, electronics, class gear, everyday essentials. If it's useful for students and safe to exchange on or near campus, it belongs here.
