Why Secure Payments Matter in Peer-to-Peer Transactions

Buying or selling directly with another person can feel risky. Whether it’s a car, a high-value gadget, or even specialist equipment, the big question is always the same: How do I know my money—or my item—is safe?

That’s where secure payments step in.

The Problem with Traditional Transactions

In most private deals, buyers are asked to pay upfront, or sellers are expected to hand over the product before receiving funds. Both scenarios carry risk:

• Buyers could lose money to a fraudulent seller.

• Sellers could hand over their product only to find payment never arrives.

Trust is the missing link.

How Our Escrow Service Solves This

Our app uses a simple but powerful process:

1. Both buyer and seller complete ID verification.

2. The buyer pays into a secure account powered by Stripe.

3. The seller only transfers the product once funds are locked.

4. Payment is released when both sides confirm the deal is complete.

This ensures both parties are protected at every step.

The Extra Layer of Confidence

We also introduced a fully refundable Walk Away Deposit. This means if either party wants to pull out before the purchase agreement is signed, they can—without unfairly penalising the other side.

It’s not just about security, it’s about fairness.

Why This Matters

Private transactions should feel as safe as buying from a trusted retailer. By combining ID checks, secure holding accounts, and transparent processes, we’re making that possible.

With our escrow solution, you don’t have to hope the other side is trustworthy—you know your money and product are protected.
