"Buying and selling online is the new way to do business.
Sadly, it isn’t always the safest!"
That’s because online fraud is skyrocketing, costing unsuspecting victims millions each year!
- Problem 1: Without verifying the seller, buyers often fall victim to digital scams and pay for products or services that are sub-standard, or never arrive.
- Problem 2: Without verifying the buyer, sellers run the risk of delivering a product or service, only to be paid less or not at all. Worse yet, many sellers unknowingly help criminals launder their money through online commerce.
Thankfully, there’s a solution, and it’s called Escrow. Watch the video to understand more about how we offer buyers Payment Protection using escrow.
Escrow is a simple, financial arrangement where a licensed third party securely holds the funds of a transaction on behalf of a buyer and seller, and only releases payment when both parties deliver on their end of the deal. Because of its benefits, escrow has been used by lawyers and banks for decades, and through the getlion™️ Marketplace – now you can too!
How does Escrow work on the getlion™️ Marketplace?
It’s as simple as that. By using escrow, both parties are protected.
- Buyers knows that if the seller doesn’t deliver on what was agreed, that the money is safe and can be returned.
- Sellers know that the buyer (and money) are real, and that they’ll be paid in full on satisfactory delivery of their product or service. No more late payments, and you know you’re deal is clean.
The benefits of Escrow
The buyer and seller can manage/track the transaction on the escrow platform at any point, and both parties are notified if action is required. The escrow process also serves as a formal record for the transaction should any disputes arise.
The funds are held in fully secure, non-interest bearing account until the transaction is completed. Using state-of-the-art security, funds and user data remain private and fully protected.
The escrow provider offers multiple payment methods, including Credit Card, EFT and Instant EFT.
