Demand a no face-to-face contact rule between a buyer and a seller of Craigslist

There are serious safety and security concerns whenever there is a face-to-face contact between a buyer and a seller within Craigslist. Craigslist should establish a rule that prohibits such communication during a business transaction. Websites such as eBay, Amazon, and a few others will not allow face-to-face contact whenever an item is sold or purchased. It is the responsibility of the seller to make sure the product will be delivered to the buyer via UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.

In Craigslist's case, there were incidents in which the buyer becomes interested in purchasing a product that the seller posted on the website. The seller wants to conduct a face-to-face contact with the buyer. The buyer accepts to meet the seller. Then something tragic happens to the buyer. Craigslist must be held accountable whenever incidents like this happen.
