Who watches the spot
The SPVM’s page says the zones are under video surveillance 24/7.
The SPVM’s page lists 20 zones and says more may be deployed, so it may name more zones than this page does.
The service’s rules
- Arrange to meet in a public place, such as one of these zones.
Meet here for your Marka pickup
On Marka, an in-person pickup order (the DIRECT rail) is settled face to face: no online payment goes through Marka, and you and the other person agree how to pay. The meeting place is yours to choose, and one of the spots above in Montréal is a sensible one. Marka has no arrangement with the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).
- The seller accepts the order.
- You agree a time and a meeting place in Marka chat; pick one of the spots on this page.
- Each side checks in when they arrive.
- The buyer inspects the item on the spot, then accepts or rejects it.
- If the buyer accepts, the seller confirms the handover with a QR code or a one-time code, and the sale is complete.
Marka does not insure cash handoffs. Meet in public, bring a friend and trust your gut.
