Escrow

Escrow is a payment-protection system where the marketplace holds the buyer’s money instead of sending it straight to the seller. The funds are released only once the buyer confirms the account was delivered exactly as described.

For game-account purchases this is the single most important safeguard. It removes the “pay a stranger and hope” risk: a seller who never delivers, or delivers the wrong account, never gets paid, and a dispute leaves held funds the marketplace can refund.

Always buy through a platform that uses escrow rather than paying directly by PayPal friends-and-family or crypto, where you have no recourse. See how to pay safely when buying game accounts.
