Local Pickup: tips for a smooth meetup

Before you bid

Check the seller's location on the listing. If it's far from you, StashBid will ask you to confirm you're willing to travel before your bid goes through. You can set how far you're happy to travel on your Profile page.

Planning the meetup

Once the sale is final, use the private chat to agree on a time, place, and payment method. Keep all arrangements in the chat so there's a record.

At the meetup

• Meet in a busy public place during daylight when you can. Many police stations offer a safe exchange spot.
• Bring a friend for larger items.
• Inspect the item before you pay.
• Don't share more personal information than you need to.

After the meetup

The buyer selects I received this item on the Purchases page, and the seller can Mark complete from their dashboard.
