Sell the couch. Don't gamble on the buyer.
Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp handoffs put you in a parking lot with a stranger and cash. SafeMeet pins your live location to someone you trust, watches the clock with a check-in, and keeps one-tap ambient audio recording within reach if a deal turns wrong.
From "is the item still available?" to a safe handoff
Arm it in the car before you walk over. It stays quiet unless you go silent.
Meet in a safe zone
Pick a public, camera-monitored lot — many police stations offer one. Drop it as your session location.
Share live GPS
A trusted contact watches your real-time location, no app required on their end.
Arm a check-in
Set a short interval. Tap "I'm safe" when the deal's done and the session closes.
Audio on demand
If it gets tense, one tap starts a silent 5-minute ambient recording and uploads it.
Escalation
Miss the check-in and your contact gets your GPS, battery, and the clip by push and SMS.
The details that matter in a parking lot
- Silent ambient recordingNo indicator, no light. Captures audio and delivers a one-time link, deleted after download.
- Live, moving locationIf the buyer suggests "just follow me," your contact sees you move off the safe zone.
- SMS network fallbackUnderground garage with no signal? The alert still routes over cellular SMS.
- Impact detectionAccelerometer watches for a sudden impact and can trigger escalation on its own.
Marketplace safety questions
What is a safe exchange zone?
A public, well-lit, camera-monitored spot — often a police-station lot — for completing online-marketplace handoffs. SafeMeet adds the digital layer: pick the zone, share live GPS with a contact, and arm a check-in so someone knows if the meetup runs long.
How do I stay safe selling on Facebook Marketplace?
Meet in a public safe-exchange zone in daylight, bring someone, and run a SafeMeet session: live location to a trusted contact, a timed check-in, and one-tap ambient audio you can start if a handoff turns tense.
Does the audio recording show on screen?
No on-screen indicator. It uploads to a one-time link your contact receives, then is deleted after download. You are responsible for using recording in line with your local consent laws.
Next pickup, bring a witness that never blinks.
