Safety Tips

Meeting In Person

  • Meet in well-lit, public areas on campus (library, student center, cafeteria)
  • Bring a friend or let someone know where you're going
  • Meet during daytime hours when possible
  • Trust your instincts - if something feels off, leave

Protecting Your Money

  • Inspect items carefully before paying
  • Use our secure payment system when possible
  • Never send money in advance to someone you haven't met
  • Be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true

Protecting Your Privacy

  • Keep personal info private until you're comfortable
  • Use our messaging system for communication
  • Don't share your home address
  • Be cautious about sharing phone numbers

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Requests to communicate outside the app
  • Pressure to complete a transaction quickly
  • Requests for unusual payment methods
  • Sellers who won't meet on campus
  • Prices that are unusually low
