How trading here works

1. How escrow protects both sides

When you open an order, the seller's crypto is locked immediately — it can't go anywhere except to you (once you've paid) or back to the seller (if the order is cancelled or expires unpaid). The seller physically cannot take your fiat payment and keep the crypto: releasing it is a separate action they take only after confirming payment.

2. The payment flow, step by step

1. You open an order against an offer — this locks the seller's crypto in escrow.
2. You send the fiat payment using the exact method and details shown on the order.
3. You mark the order "paid" once you've sent it.
4. The seller confirms the payment landed, then releases the escrowed crypto to you.
5. If anything goes wrong, either side can open a dispute for an admin to review the evidence.

3. How to trade safely

• Only mark an order paid after you've actually sent the money — never in advance, never on a promise.
• Only release escrow after you've confirmed the payment yourself — check your own mobile money or bank app, not just a screenshot the buyer sent you. Screenshots can be faked.
• Always use the payment method and details shown on the order — never a number or account sent to you separately in chat.
• Never send payment outside the platform before an order exists — there's no escrow protecting an off-platform transfer.
• If someone pressures you to skip a step ("release now, I'm in a hurry," "trust me, just send it first"), that pressure is itself the warning sign.

4. If something goes wrong

Open a dispute from the order page with as much detail and evidence as you have — payment confirmations, screenshots, message history. Disputes are reviewed against both parties' evidence, not decided on either side's word alone.
