How does escrow work?

You pay when you order. We hold the money until you confirm the item arrived or the job is done, then release it to the seller or pro.

What does it cost to sell?

Listing is free. A small per-sale fee applies once you earn, shown clearly before you publish. Placeholder fee text.

How are sellers verified?

We check ID and a business or trade record before a seller or pro can take paid orders. Reviews stay public.

When do I get paid?

Once the buyer confirms delivery or completion, funds move to your account on the schedule shown in your dashboard. Placeholder timing.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, if an item is not as described or a job is not delivered. Open a dispute from your order page and we will review the evidence with both sides.

Is my payment information safe?

Card and bank details are processed by certified payment providers. Marketly never stores your full card number on its own servers.
