How do
YouzITs work?
YouzITs are the internal currency of our exchange platform. They have no connection to real money — they cannot be bought, sold, or converted into euros. They serve solely as a fair unit of exchange between members.
YouzITs ≠ Money
YouzITs are exchange credits, not fiat currency. You receive them through your monthly subscription and by listing items. You use them to trade for items from other members. Their value is determined by a transparent algorithm based on category and condition — never by market price or the monetary value of the item.
The Formula
Each item receives a YouzITs value automatically calculated by combining three factors:
YouzITs =
1Base Value by Category
Clothing
T-shirts, trousers, dresses, coats, sweaters...
Footwear
Sneakers, boots, sandals, shoes...
Accessories
Bags, belts, glasses, watches, scarves...
School supplies/Toys
Backpacks, pencil cases, toys, books...
2Multiplier by Condition
3Adjustment for Kids' Items
Items in the Kids category receive a 0.8× multiplier, reflecting the fact that children's clothing typically has a lower market value.
Practical Examples
| Item | Calculation | YouzITs |
|---|---|---|
| Boots (Footwear) — New | 12 × 1.5 | |
| Sweater (Clothing) — Very Good | 8 × 1.0 | |
| Bag (Accessories) — New w/o tags | 10 × 1.3 | |
| T-shirt (Clothing) — Good | 8 × 0.8 | |
| Sneakers (Footwear) — Satisfactory | 12 × 0.6 | |
| Kids' Dress (Clothing) — New | 8 × 1.5 × 0.8 |
The minimum assignable value is 3 YouzITs. When listing, you can adjust the value within a margin of ±20% of the calculated value to reflect specific item details (premium brand, rarity, etc.).
YouzITs & Subscriptions
In addition to the YouzITs you earn by listing items, you receive monthly YouzITs through your subscription. Subscription YouzITs and those purchased in separate packs are valid for 3 months from the date of allocation. YouzITs earned by listing items do not expire. Here is how many trades you can make on average:
S Plan
15
YouzITs/month
1–2 trades/month
M Plan
40
YouzITs/month
3–5 trades/month
L Plan
70
YouzITs/month
5–10 trades/month
YouzITs Validity: 3 Months
Subscription YouzITs and those purchased in separate packs are valid for 3 months from the date of allocation. You don't lose your YouzITs at the end of each month — you have 3 full months to use them. You will receive a notification before they expire. YouzITs earned by listing items do not expire.
No Speculation
The algorithm ensures that no item is extremely overvalued or undervalued. The ±20% margin prevents artificial inflation.
Sustainable Value
The value in YouzITs does not reflect price, but rather the avoided environmental impact. Each reused item saves an average of 2,700 liters of water.
