Safety Tips

Your safety is our top priority. Follow these guidelines to ensure safe transactions on Beloit Marketplace.

Meet in Public Places

Always arrange to meet in well-lit, public areas on campus. The student center, library lobby, or dining halls are great options.

Bring a Friend

When possible, bring a friend along when meeting someone for a transaction. There's safety in numbers.

Communicate Through the Platform

Keep your communications on the platform until you're ready to meet. This creates a record of your conversation.

Use Safe Payment Methods

Cash or verified payment apps are recommended. Avoid wire transfers or unusual payment requests.

Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off about a transaction or seller, don't hesitate to walk away. Your safety comes first.

Verify Student Status

All users must have a valid @beloit.edu email. This helps ensure you're dealing with fellow students.

Report Suspicious Activity

If you encounter suspicious behavior or feel unsafe, please report it immediately to campus security or contact us through the marketplace.
