The Fraudster Problem
If you've sold anything on eBay, you know the pain. Especially with high value goods, where sellers lose money, items and time to when curated scams.

How it Works
Five simple steps to secure your online transaction
Step 1: Know your buyer is real — no more fake accounts
Before the transaction begins, the buyer completes a quick ID verification through Trust Toucan.
You immediately know you’re dealing with a genuine person, not a throwaway eBay account or scammer.
Step 2: The buyer secures their funds upfront
Instead of relying on bank transfers or risky off-platform payments, your buyer transfers the agreed amount into our secure Stripe-backed workflow.
Step 3: A clear digital purchase agreement — like a proper invoice
Trust Toucan generates a simple written agreement for you and the buyer, based on the details you provide.
It’s essentially a structured, digital “bill of sale” that protects both sides.
Step 4: The buyer gets their inspection period — with clear rules
Instead of the vague “can I come and check it out?”, Trust Toucan sets a clear inspection window (typically a few days).
The funds are already verified and prepared for release during this period.
Step 5: You make the handover → you sign → money lands in your account
After you transfer the vehicle or item, you simply sign the digital agreement in the app.
Signing triggers instant release of funds through Stripe — usually within 30 minutes during business hours.
Things to note
We don't track shipping
Trust Toucan doesn't track shipping or delivery, but we create a verified, record with ID checks, timestamps, and digital agreements that log every step of the transaction.
Accountability Through Documentation
If one party breaks their responsibilities (for example, refusing to return an item or send payment), the other party has verified ID, details, and agreement records to refer to.
This makes the transaction far more enforceable and accountable than informal sales.
With verified identities and formal records, both parties know there's a clear trail if disputes arise — making everyone more likely to act honestly.

Important Note
Trust Toucan doesn't handle delivery or postage. We focus on what matters most: ensuring accountability through verified identities and recorded agreements.
Trust Toucan protects the money; you manage the movement.
This means you retain full control over shipping methods and timing, while Toucan ensures both parties are verified, committed, and documented throughout the process.
