What is Escrow Village? +
Escrow Village is a secure transaction platform that holds funds until both sides do what they agreed. It helps buyers, sellers, and service providers complete deals more safely, especially when they do not already know each other.
Is Escrow Village safe? +
Escrow Village is built to reduce fraud by keeping funds under platform control until delivery is confirmed or a dispute is resolved on the basis of evidence. Users should still review deal terms carefully and keep proper proof.
Who can use Escrow Village? +
Individuals, merchants, freelancers, service providers, and businesses can use Escrow Village for online or physical transactions where payment protection is important.
When does the seller get paid? +
The seller is paid when the buyer confirms that the deal has been completed properly, or when customer support resolves a dispute and determines that payment should be released.
Can I cancel an escrow? +
Yes. Cancellation depends on the stage of the transaction and the actions already taken by both parties. Where funds are still eligible to be returned, the platform processes the refund according to the transaction rules.
What happens if the buyer refuses to confirm? +
If there is a disagreement, either party can open a dispute. Both sides will be asked to provide clear proof, and support will review the evidence before a decision is made.
What proof does Escrow Village accept? +
Relevant proof can include screenshots, transaction receipts, chat records, delivery confirmation, account transfer logs, videos, or any other reliable evidence that helps establish the facts of the transaction.
Do you verify users? +
Yes. Verification helps reduce fraud, improve trust, and strengthen dispute resolution. Some transaction types or account actions may require a higher level of verification.
How long does a dispute take? +
Dispute resolution time depends on the quality of the evidence, how quickly both parties respond, and the complexity of the transaction. Escrow Village works to resolve valid disputes as quickly as possible.
Does Escrow Village support physical delivery? +
Yes. Escrow Village can be used for physical products, meet-ups, delivery transactions, and other deals where payment should remain protected until the item or service is properly received.
