- Details are sent through the encrypted escrow channel attached to the order — not through direct messages
- Chat is for questions, not credentials — anything shared outside escrow isn't covered if something goes wrong
- The order status updates the moment submission lands, so the buyer isn't left guessing

VERIFIED
acts: BuyerThe buyer logs in, checks everything matches the listing, and confirms access.
- Buyer checks login, followers/subscribers, monetization status and history against what was listed
- Confirming happens before the transfer clock starts — mismatches get raised here, not after
- Anything that doesn't match is a dispute, not a support ticket

Common questions
What if the seller never submits the account details?
While the escrow is still FUNDED, the buyer can cancel at any time for a full refund — sale price and escrow fee both returned.
What happens if the seller misses the transfer deadline?
The buyer sees a live countdown during IN TRANSFER. If it expires before the handover is confirmed, the buyer can open a dispute directly from the order page.
Can I lose money in escrow?
Funds only ever move two ways from escrow: back to the buyer (cancellation, refund, or a dispute ruled in their favor) or to the seller (buyer-confirmed completion). There's no third outcome.
Do I have to trust the seller before paying?
No — that's the point of escrow. Payment is locked with the platform first, so the seller can confirm the deal is real without the buyer ever having to pay into their hands directly.
