MONITORED SITES CREATED BY NYPD FOR ONLINE MARKETPLACE TRANSACTIONS

 

When you use an online marketplace to buy or sell merchandise, trade it, or give or get it for free, if the transaction is with a stranger and you're going to be face-to-face, you'll want to minimize any risks to your safety.

 

To that end, the NYPD has created E-Commerce Exchange Zones, setting up ninety-eight zones throughout the boroughs at all NYPD precincts, Housing Bureau service areas, and Transit Bureau districts.

 

All transactions are in well-lit locations that are monitored and recorded by video surveillance 24/7. No appointment is needed. You do not have to go into the precinct house.

 

Some of the online marketplaces that offer in-person transactions are eBay, Craigslist, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, neighborhood pages on Facebook, neighborhood listservs, and Buy Nothing groups.
