When buying, always try to go to a neutral location and to test the object to make sure that it works. When selling also try neutral places and only accept cash.

Expect to get spammed by publishing your e-mail or telephone-number, so best to use separate ones from the ones which you normally use. It is best if you do a little investigating of anyone who contacts you, search for their e-mail, name, address, or telephone-number, see what comes up. Meet in public places, or do transactions away from your home.
