Yes for the money and listing check: every listing is reviewed before it goes live, you pay Sell It Off (not the seller directly), and payment is only released after you confirm pickup. You still meet in person—always inspect and test before confirming.

You pay Sell It Off for the item. We hold that payment until you confirm pickup. The seller is paid by us after confirmation—not by you in cash at the door.

Inspect and test thoroughly before you confirm pickup. Once you confirm, payment is released to the seller and we can’t refund. If something’s wrong before you confirm, report it immediately and don’t confirm.
