I still use CL for cycling stuff (buy/sell) in addition to PL. Of course, PL is far far better and easier, especially for small size and dollar items.
With CL, I always talk to the person who is selling or who is buying. I want to make sure the item is exactly what is described or make sure the buyer knows exactly what I am selling. I do not want a surprise when we meet.
I used to meet at my house, but that was 10-15 years ago when the CL listings were a modest 1-2 pages a day. Now with crime out of control I don't need a prospective buyer casing my house so we meet at the local corner market.
I NEVER drive to meet a buyer. NEVER. It's a complete waste of time when that person says thanks, just looking.
Transaction is cash.
Someone remind me of the issue with a PayPal transaction at the point of sale. I recall there was a way for that to be a scam but can''t recall the details.
