Protected payment

Buyer funds are securely held in the SoldSafe vault until the transaction is confirmed, with SoldSafe built on Stripe’s financial infrastructure.

Built-in Protection

Every eligible transaction includes built-in fraud and repair guarantees, giving you added protection if something doesn’t go as expected.

“Drove 40 minutes to pick up a MacBook I’d been texting the seller about for two days. Got there, she said she’d ‘already sold it.’ Wasted half my Saturday and lost the deposit I’d sent ahead of time.”

“Listed my motorcycle on a marketplace. Buyer made an offer, I accepted. He never showed. Different account, same thing the next weekend. No commitment, no consequences.”

“Bought a camera listed as ‘fully functional, great condition.’ Got home — sensor cracked, shutter jammed. Seller stopped responding. No platform protection, no way to dispute.”

“The designer bag looked authentic. I met the seller, checked it over, and paid $600. Later, I found out it was a fake. By then, their profile was gone. $600 gone.”

How It Works

A simple process designed to protect both sides.

Every SoldSafe transaction follows five clear, structured steps. You always know who you’re dealing with, where your money is, and what happens next.

Agree on the deal

Buyer and seller lock in the price, item details, and pickup terms up front — right inside SoldSafe. Both sides see exactly what was agreed, ensuring full transparency.

Nothing moves until you’re both on the same page.

Send payment to the SoldSafe vault

The buyer pays into the secure vault before the in-person meetup. The money is held — not sent to the seller — so the buyer stays protected and the seller sees a real, committed buyer.

The SoldSafe vault is built on Stripe's financial infrastructure.

Meet and hand off the item

Coordinate the handoff directly in the app, then meet at the agreed time and place. The seller hands over the item in person.

Good to know

In-person only. SoldSafe is built for local, face-to-face exchanges.

Inspect and confirm

The buyer inspects the item to confirm it matches the listing. If something isn't right, funds remain on hold until it's resolved. Once satisfied, the buyer shares a unique confirmation code to release the funds.

Good to know

Ensure you inspect the item carefully. Funds auto release after 24 hours.

Funds release to the seller

Once both sides confirm, the vault releases payment directly and securely to the seller. Everyone walks away knowing the transaction was completed with confidence.
