Payment risks

Read this before you pay for anything here. It is short because the truth is simple.

There is no escrow

You pay the seller directly, from your wallet to theirs. This marketplace never holds your money — which means it also cannot refund you, reverse a payment, or recover funds sent to a wrong address. No administrator can do these things, whatever anyone in a message claims.

"Seller confirmed payment" means the seller said so

This instance runs no wallet and checks nothing on-chain. When an order says seller confirmed payment, the seller marked it paid after seeing funds in their own wallet. That is an attestation, not a verification — the order page uses those words precisely, and you should read them precisely.

Verify the address before you pay

• Every order gets a one-time subaddress drawn from a batch the seller signed with their own wallet in advance.
• The payment page shows the signed message and signature. Verify them in your own wallet before paying — that is how you know the subaddress belongs to the seller and was not swapped by this server.
• Check the seller's primary address against a copy you already trust (an earlier order, the seller's other channels). If the seller's payment identity changed recently, the site warns you — stop and confirm through another channel.
• Pay the exact amount, in one transaction, to the subaddress on the payment page. Not to the primary address, not in parts.

If something goes wrong

• Message the seller from the order page first — most problems are mistakes, not scams.
• You can open a dispute. Moderators record an outcome from the public record and anything you voluntarily disclose; outcomes feed the seller's public trade facts.
• A dispute cannot move money. A refund happens only if the seller sends it, to the refund address you gave.
• Start small with sellers you have not traded with. Treat reputation as one signal among several — it can be farmed, and the limitations page says so plainly.
