Meetup basics

The safest meetup is a boring meetup

Public place, normal time, quick item check, done. Boring is good here.

Meet in a public place in daytime when possible.

Bring backup if you are young or unsure.

If it gets weird, you can leave.

Library, school common area, campus building, community centre. Not some random hidden parking lot.

If the item is wrong, the pressure is weird, or your gut says no, you can leave. Deal over.

Before you meet

Keep early messages in the app until the meetup plan is clear.

Choose a public place like a library, school common area, campus building, or community centre.

If you are under 18 or it is your first meetup, bring a parent, guardian, or trusted friend.

At the meetup

Take your time and check the item before paying.

Do not hand over money if the item is not what was promised.

If anything feels rushed, confusing, or off, you can leave.

If something feels wrong

Do not keep chatting just to be polite.

Use the report flow for listings, profiles, or messages that feel unsafe.

If there is immediate danger, contact local emergency services instead of waiting on the app.

Keep these details off the listing page

Do not post your phone number in the listing.

Do not post your exact home address.

Do not post your class schedule or daily routine.

Use broad location hints only, such as a campus area or public landmark.

For parents and guardians

You can help your child choose a public meetup location and time.

For younger students, it is reasonable for a parent or guardian to attend the exchange.

Families should still use normal real-world caution.
