Tips for the meeting

  • Meet at a well-lit public location with lots of people around, like a cafe, shopping mall or police station.
  • If you're buying a large item, bring a friend to help lift it.
  • When leaving for your location, use OfferUp messages to tell the other person you're on your way.
  • If you're running late, let the other person know.
