Meet, inspect, and trade carefully

Meet in visible, public campus locations such as a student center, library lobby, residence hall front desk, bookstore area, or busy quad. Avoid isolated places, late-night meetups, and private rooms.

Bring a friend if possible, tell someone where you are going, and keep your phone charged. Trust your instincts and leave if something feels off.

• Check the item in person before handing over money.
• Test electronics, inspect textbooks, and confirm condition.
• Avoid sending money before seeing the item.

Keep early conversations in Campus Marketplace when possible. It keeps context available if you need to report suspicious behavior or review details later.

Do not share passwords, verification codes, financial account details, home addresses, or unnecessary personal information. Use your preferred contact settings intentionally.

Report suspicious users, listings, or messages. Reports help admins review scams, harassment, unsafe items, and other conduct that does not belong here.
