54 traders, in their own words

Valorant

The seller could not touch my money until I checked the inventory

I have been burned twice buying Valorant accounts on Discord. This time the $1,850 sat in escrow while I logged in, changed the password and counted every skin. Only then did I release it. The seller was fine with it because he knew he would get paid the moment I confirmed.

Mobile Legends

Buyers stopped ghosting me after I started using escrow

Selling a Mythic account used to mean arguing about who sends first. Now I just send an escrow link. Serious buyers fund it in minutes, and the time wasters disappear before they waste my evening.

Steam Account

Sold a 214-game library without a single argument

The buyer wanted proof there were no VAC bans, I wanted proof he could actually pay. Escrow solved both at once. He funded, I handed over the original e-mail, he confirmed, I was paid. Forty minutes end to end.

Genshin Impact

AR60 account with the exact five-stars promised

The listing claimed C2 Raiden and C1 Nahida. I used the inspection window to verify every constellation before releasing. Everything matched. Worth the 3% for the peace of mind alone.

Steam Account

Good protection, though I wish crypto deposits confirmed faster

The escrow side was flawless. My only gripe is that funding by USDT took about fifteen minutes to confirm on-chain, and the seller was getting impatient. Everything after that was smooth.

Clash of Clans

TH16 max account, paid out the same day

Supercell ID transfers make buyers nervous because they can be reversed. The 48 hour inspection window gave him enough time to be sure, and I still had the money in my wallet before bedtime.

Game Accounts

First time buying from a stranger without being scared

I do not speak much English but the steps were obvious. Pay, check, release. The seller was in another country and I never had to trust him personally, only the process.

Game Accounts

Conqueror account sold to a buyer three countries away

He paid in euros, I received dollars, and neither of us had to work out who goes first. The fee came out of his side because he offered, which is a nice touch that the form handles for you.

Game Accounts

Seller tried to rush me, the timer protected me anyway

He kept messaging me to release early. I did not have to argue — I just waited out the inspection window and checked everything properly. The chat log meant he could not pretend he had not pressured me.

Roblox

Works fine for small trades too

A $95 trade barely justifies a fee, but I had already lost $60 to a scammer that month. Paying $3 to never repeat that was easy maths. Wish the minimum fee were a little lower for sub-$100 deals.

In-Game Currency

Top-up delivered to my UID in under ten minutes

I funded, the seller topped up my UID directly, I saw the crystals appear and released. The whole thing took less time than arguing about payment methods usually does.

In-Game Currency

No more fake payment screenshots

I used to get sent edited transfer receipts constantly. Escrow either has the money or it does not, and I can see which before I deliver a single diamond.

In-Game Currency

Traded a knife without either of us going first

High value skin trades are where scams live. Funding escrow first meant the trade offer was the last risky step, not the first. Released the moment it landed in my inventory.

In-Game Currency

Cheap, fast, and the seller could not run off

Small amount, but the principle is the same. I have been scammed for less. The bank transfer deposit took a day to clear which is the only slow part.

In-Game Currency

Solid, but read the trade hold rules first

Steam trade holds meant delivery took longer than the buyer expected and he got twitchy. Not the platform's fault, but I would set a longer inspection window next time to avoid the stress.

Licence Keys

A key that failed to activate, and a fair ruling

The key threw an error on my machine so I opened a dispute. The agent tested it on a clean install, it worked, and she showed me the screenshots. The problem was my old Adobe install. Ruled against me — and honestly, correctly.

Licence Keys

Chargebacks used to eat my margin

Selling keys by PayPal meant living in fear of a chargeback sixty days later. Once escrow releases, it is released. That alone changed my business.

Licence Keys

Activated it before releasing, exactly as it should be

The seller sent the key in the protected chat. I activated, confirmed, released. He got paid, I got a working licence, nobody had to trust anybody.
