That's why I avoid CL altogether. I need to buy a couch (& get rid of the old one), but will instead go to a retail store. They can also arrange removal of the old couch, as well as bring in the new one.
(Also, I can pay with a credit card, thus add Frequent Flier miles!)
I was always afraid of CL for other reasons, maybe reading about murderers & predators.
Why bought an almost new leather couch on CL and a week later got rid of the old one on CL.
It's like the classifieds without the cost.
We use it all the time out here in the country. Just bought a John Deere 60-inch zero turn mower on CL for less than half the retail price. It's just like new.
