A simple checkpoint before pickup details
Use a ProofPing before you move a conversation to a home address, a cash handoff, or payment details. It creates a small pause for a current response without asking someone to create a permanent profile.
Before a marketplace pickup
Before you share the pickup address, send a ProofPing.
When a local exchange moves from messages to an address, cash, or a deposit, a short live response can add useful context. A ProofPing is a 10-second selfie saying a word you select—built for the moment, then gone in an hour.
Step 1
Create a one-hour link
Choose the current-response prompt, then make it easy to send.
Step 2

- 01

Pick a simple word before you send the link. It gives the response a clear, current prompt.
- 02
Get a live response
They record a 10-second selfie video saying the word. They do not need to create an account.
- 03
Review the moment
Use the timestamp and city-level context as one small input before your next step. The result expires in one hour.
A note you can send
Keep it direct. Keep it low-drama.
ProofPing is designed to make a reasonable boundary feel normal—not accusatory.
“Before we coordinate pickup, can you do a quick ProofPing? It’s a 10-second live selfie with a word I choose so we both have a current response before we share details.”
If a friend is planning a similar meetup, forward the wording—not anyone's response or private details.
Useful context, not certainty
A current signal. Not a promise.
ProofPing does not verify identity, run a background check, prove a listing is legitimate, or guarantee anyone's safety.
How a ProofPing works for local exchanges
Choose a word, send the link, and ask for a quick live selfie response. You receive the response with a timestamp and city-level context, then the result expires automatically after one hour.
What it cannot guarantee
A current response does not prove that a listing is legitimate, that an item exists, or that an exchange will be safe. Keep using your own judgment about payment, location, and whether to proceed.
A calm way to set expectations before a handoff
Be clear about the next step and respectful if someone declines. You can choose a public meetup spot, avoid sharing unnecessary personal details, and walk away from an exchange that no longer feels right.
Questions, answered
Before you send the link.
Does a ProofPing prove a listing is legitimate?
No. It provides a current response, not verification that an item, listing, seller, or buyer is legitimate.
Does ProofPing show an exact address or location?
No. It is designed around city-level context, not an exact street address or precise location.
Can a buyer or seller use it?
Yes. Either person can ask for a current response before sharing more details or arranging a handoff.
What if the other person does not want to respond?
That is their choice. Treat it as information for your own decision-making; do not pressure anyone to share more than they are comfortable sharing.
