For sellers
- Share your street address in messages only after someone has claimed, and only for their pickup time.
- Have someone with you, and bring items to the door or lobby when you can.
- Take cash or a payment app at pickup. Never accept a check for more than the price, and never share a verification code.
- Turn off location tagging on your camera before you take photos.
For buyers
- Message the seller on PieceOut. Be wary of anyone who asks you to pay before you see the item.
- Inspect the item before you pay. Bring a helper and the right vehicle for big things.
- Many police departments have safe exchange zones in their parking lots for small items.
