Your Reputation: The Asset That Protects Every Trade

Reputation is how buyers decide to trust you. Every honest trade makes it stronger.

Your rating is your most valuable asset

Each trade you finish builds your rating. Buyers look at it. A strong rating brings more sales. A seller with good reviews wins the sale over one with none. Protect it.

When something goes wrong

Most trades go smoothly. Sometimes they don’t. The item never arrived. It was not as described. Here is what to do.

  1. Message the other person first. Most problems are simple mix-ups. Talk it out.
  2. If that doesn’t work, open a dispute.

How a dispute works

A neutral program reviews the evidence. A neutral person called an arbitrator helps decide. Both sides share their side. The arbitrator looks at the facts and rules.

Opening a dispute on escrow costs 5% of the disputed amount. The person who opens the dispute pays this fee. It keeps disputes honest. Only real problems get opened.

A real example

You buy a phone for $300. It arrives, but the screen is cracked. It was not as described. You message the seller. They don’t help. You open a dispute. The arbitrator reviews the photos and the messages. The 5% fee on $300 is $15. You pay it because you opened the dispute. The arbitrator rules in your favor. You get your money back.

Fair for both sides

The same process protects sellers. A buyer who falsely claims a problem pays to open the dispute. Honest sellers keep their ratings. Everyone plays fair.
