How do I stay safe doing Facebook Marketplace local pickup?
Meet in a public place — a shopping centre carpark or a petrol station forecourt in daylight is standard practice. Tell someone where you're going and share the buyer's profile link. For high-value items, meet at a police station. Never go to a stranger's home for a first meeting. Bring correct change if cash. For items over $200, consider accepting PayID instead so there's no cash exchange on the spot.
