Local pickup for a sale started to feel unsafe

A buyer pushed to change the public meetup spot last minute and asked me to come alone. I canceled. How do people keep local sales safer in general terms?

Daytime public places, tell a friend, and no — you do not need to complete a sale that feels wrong.

Police station parking lots are a common suggestion in many cities. Check what is available where you are.

Canceling is a valid outcome. Trust that signal.
