Frequently asked questions

Common questions about using Marketscrow for local marketplace transactions.

Any local buy or sell — goods, services, repairs, food, and more. Escrow protects you when you don't know the other party, especially for higher-value transactions.
Both parties agree to use Marketscrow. The buyer pays into escrow, the seller delivers, and the buyer confirms before funds are released.
Yes. If a transaction is cancelled or a dispute is resolved in the buyer's favour, funds are returned according to our dispute policy.
Buyers post "I want to buy" requests; sellers post offers or bid on requests. Each broadcast has a public ID you can share on social media.
Either party can request a mutual cancel while funds are in escrow. If the other party accepts, the buyer is fully refunded. After delivery, use the dispute process if something went wrong.
