Escrow protects the seller too: a confirmed handover cannot be charged back.
Listings, orders and the payout balance belong to an account, so the hub needs your session. Applying to sell works without one.
Escrow protects the seller too: once a handover is confirmed, it cannot be charged back. That is the difference from a private deal on a classifieds site, where the money can be reversed weeks later and the account is already gone.
You submit the account with its contents and screenshots, moderation checks that what is described matches what is there, and the listing goes live. Nothing is published before that check — a listing that turns out to be wrong costs the marketplace more than it costs you.
When a buyer pays, the money is held by us. You hand over the credentials, the buyer confirms access, and the amount moves to your balance. If the buyer stays silent, the order auto-confirms after the stated window rather than hanging forever.
Funds land on your seller balance the moment an order is confirmed, and payouts are requested from the hub. The hold exists for one reason: it is what lets us promise the buyer a refund, and that promise is why they buy here instead of from a stranger.
A confirmed handover cannot be reversed. On a classifieds site the payment can be pulled back long after the account has changed hands — here that risk is on us, not on you.
That the screenshots are of the account being sold, that the described contents are actually on it, and that the email is unlinked where full access is claimed. Accounts levelled by bots are refused: they get banned in waves, and the refund lands on the marketplace.
Rejection comes with a reason. Most of the time it is fixable — a missing screenshot, an access type stated wrong — and the listing goes through on the second attempt.
