54 traders, in their own words

Fine platform, KYC took a day longer than promised

The trade itself was perfect. Identity verification for my first payout took about thirty hours rather than the stated one business day. Not a dealbreaker, but plan for it.

Social Media

Refunded in full when the seller reclaimed the account

Two days after the handover the original owner reset the password through a recovery number he never disclosed. I raised a dispute, the funds froze instantly, and an agent refunded me the entire $3,200 after reading the login alerts. I would have lost everything anywhere else.

The 72 hour window is the right call for accounts

Buyers of social accounts are rightly paranoid. Giving them three days to confirm the handover stuck made the sale possible at all. Longer window, higher price, fewer arguments.

Social Media

Five figures of risk reduced to a fee

Transferring channel ownership takes a week of Google confirmations. Escrow held the money through all of it. The seller could watch the balance sitting there and stayed patient because he knew it was real.

Social Media

Works well, the identity check filters out jokers

Having to verify identity before withdrawing annoyed me at first. Then I realised it is exactly why the buyers on here are serious people and not fifteen year olds with a stolen card.

Domains

Held through a five day registrar transfer

Domain transfers are slow and full of places to get stuck. Having the money parked neutrally for the whole window meant neither of us was chasing the other.

Domains

Sold a content site including the hosting migration

We agreed a 7 day window to cover the DNS propagation and analytics handover. The buyer verified traffic in Search Console before releasing. Clean, professional, no drama.

Freelance Services

We use it for milestone payments with new clients

New clients do not want to pay a stranger upfront and we do not want to build for free. Escrow per milestone solved a negotiation we used to have on every single project.

Freelance Services

Client could see the money was real before I started

I ask every new client to fund escrow before I open my editor. Nobody has refused yet. The ones who would refuse are exactly the ones who would not have paid.

Freelance Services

No more chasing invoices for three weeks

The money was already secured, so delivery day was just delivery day. He approved, I was paid, and I did not have to send a single polite reminder.

Freelance Services

Great for the work, slightly fiddly for revisions

One escrow per milestone means several escrows for a job with revision rounds. It works, but I would love a way to release in stages from one agreement.

Game Accounts

Thirty-something trades and not one dispute

I sell accounts weekly. The protected chat is the real feature — every promise either side makes is on the record, so the arguments simply never start.

Game Accounts

Support answered at 2am my time

I panicked when a seller went quiet mid-handover. Support replied within the hour, explained the countdown was paused, and the seller resurfaced the next day. The panic was mine, not the platform's.

Game Accounts

Would like more payout options in this region

The escrow itself is excellent and I have had no problems. I just wish there were a local bank rail rather than relying on international transfer for payouts.

In-Game Currency

Small trades, zero drama

Most of my sales are under $200. Buyers who would never send money first will happily fund escrow, so my conversion rate went up, not down.

Freelance Services

Commissioned an artist I found on Twitter

Neither of us knew the other. She would not start without payment, I would not pay without work. Escrow made a trade happen that otherwise simply would not have.

Game Accounts

Protection works, the interface took me a while

I did not understand at first that funding and accepting were two separate steps, so my trade sat idle for a day. Once I got it, everything worked. Just clearer prompts for first timers, please.

Licence Keys

Fees are transparent before you commit

The exact amount each side pays and receives is shown before either of us accepts. No surprise deductions at payout time, which is more than I can say for the last platform I used.
