Address, knock on door, done.
I've done it before, depends on how sketchy it seems. If it's via facebook if it's a normal looking profile, I'll be ok with giving my address. If the profile is empty or otherwise weird I'll maybe ask to meet somewhere. Harder to determine that on Kijiji.

If it's a high value item I'll meet in a bank parking lot. I've also been told the police will let you use a room to do such transactions (never tried this, was told by someone who buys/sells expensive watches).
