Why escrow?
Escrow ensures secure transaction for both parties and shows the seller that you are serious with your offer by depositing the amount on a secure account. This way you are also protected as seller needs to pass verification (so you know you are paying to the rightful owner) and in case the received goods are not as agreed, your money is still safe with you, as you only release the amount after goods are delivered and confirmed. Complete peace of mind for every acquisition. Please note that escrow process requires a buyer's fee in addition of 2% of the agreed amount, paid additionaly with deposit. Fees once paid are not returnable/refundable or transferrable in any case.
What happens after payment?
When you complete your deposit on the escrow account, you can freely arrange the sale contract with the seller as well as the arrangements for pickup / deliver of the goods. And once the goods are delivered and as agreed, you simply release the amount from the escrow to the seller.
Terms and conditions
By submitting an offer, you accept the terms and conditions. as listed in clause 11 and other clauses inside T&C. By agreeing to use the escrow-style transactions, you are also legally bound to accept the terms and conditions used by the provider trustap, available here.
Sellers

To see offers for an individual ad, click on the arrow on the right side. Carefully review each offer and accept or deny accordingly. Please note that the decision cannot be revoked. Do not accept more than one offer per ad, unless the buyer from the previously accepted offer does not respond. Optionally you can add a comment to each offer with explanation - reason of acceptance or refusal, which will be sent to the buyer.
What happens when I click "accept"?
Once you click accept, you'll be able to see the buyer's contact data (email + phone), while the buyer will be informed via email automatically about your decision and will have up to 48 hours to confirm its seriousness by depositing funds in a secure escrow account from the link inside email notification. You as a seller will be informed by the trustshare escrow about the initiation of the process and further details to continue.
What happens when I click "decline"?
Once you click decline, the buyer will be informed via email automatically about your decision, including reason for refusal (if you provide one) and will be able to submit a new, revised offer again.
Why escrow?
Escrow ensures secure transaction for both parties and provides a proof of buyer's seriousness with real-time funds visibility. This way you don't have to worry about buyer wasting your time with non serious offer that isn't fulfilled, and you can freely start organizing the pickup / delivery. Please note that there are no seller fees for using escrow.
I've made a mistake!
If you have mistakenly declined an offer, please contact us immediately and we'll inform the buyer about it. Please note that our support is available from 8am to 4pm (CET) Mon-Fri, with limited availability outside working hours.
If you have mistakenly accepted an offer, please contact the buyer (and us) immediately, its contact data will be shown in your offer list, before the buyer starts the escrow process and deposits funds, as the deposit amount might be returned while the escrow fees are non-refundable and buyer might occur financial damage for which we cannot be held responsible.
Buyer does not respond
Once you accept an offer, the buyer that submitted the accepted offer, will be notified via email and has up to 48 hours to prove its seriousness by depositing the proposed amount in a secure escrow account. If the buyer fails to do so in a timely manner, you can accept another offer (if available), but you must clearly inform the first buyer via email that his offer is not valid anymore. Failure to do so, may result into buyer making the deposit later, which by escrow provider terms can be refunded, but will be charged escrow fees which are non-refundable and therefore the buyer may experience financial loss, that we nor the escrow provider cannot be held responsible or liable for.
What happens after deposit is confirmed?
When you are notified about buyer's deposit on the escrow account, you can freely arrange the sale contract with the buyer as well as the arrangements for pickup / deliver of the goods.

We do not expose your email anywhere to prevent someone sending you unsolicited email, while all inquiries your ads receive are moderated by our team and you only receive those, who we deem relevant.
Why there is no more "call" option in the ads?
We are aware that call buttons inside each ad were useful feature for initial contact with the sellers, however due to their phone numbers being publicly listed on the web, some of the sellers has informed us, that they are receiving messages or calls that are not in accordance with the purpose they've submitted their number for (unsolicited advertising etc), therefore we had make the decision to protect our users and remove this functionality entirely. Please use the contact forms and ask the seller for its phone number if required.
Why can't I add description and website link to my profile?
There were plenty accounts made in the past months with sole intention of leaving backlink and some content inside user descriptions for spammy SEO reasons. We disabled user/company description field and website link until at least 1 ad is posted from your account. Then the two boxes will appear in your user edit menu and you'll be able to add this info.

I don't receive inquiries, does the contact form in my ad work?
Don't worry, the contact form works perfectly. The reason you didn't receive the inquiry could be one of the following:
1. Your ad was by now not seen by a buyer interested in what you are selling.
2. There was an inquiry which our moderation team did not find as serious, so we did not forward it to your inbox. We always spare you with all the time wasters and spammers.
