Escrow & Buyer
Protection.

🔐

The Golden Rule

When a Buyer pays on Trospot, the money is held safely in our Escrow Vault. The Seller does not receive the money until the Buyer confirms they have received the item as described.

01

The Escrow Process

01
Payment: The Buyer pays via Mobile Money or Card. Trospot instantly secures the funds.
02
Notification: The Seller is notified to ship. They can see funds are secured but cannot access them yet.
03
Delivery: The logistics partner delivers the item to the Buyer.
04
Inspection: The Buyer inspects the item within the 48-hour window.
05
Release: If the Buyer accepts (or the window lapses without dispute), funds are released to the Seller's wallet.
02

The Inspection Period

Once the item is marked as “Delivered” by the logistics partner, the Buyer has a standard 48-hour Inspection Period.

  • During this time, the Buyer must check if the item matches the video description and quality.
  • If the Buyer does nothing within 48 hours, the transaction is automatically marked as “Completed” and funds are released to the Seller.
03

Returns & Refunds

A Buyer is entitled to a full refund if:

  • The item was never delivered.
  • The item received is significantly different from the video/description (e.g., wrong color, wrong size, damaged).
  • The item is counterfeit.

Note: Buyers cannot request a refund simply because they “changed their mind” after the item has been shipped, unless the Seller explicitly allows returns in their shop policy.

04

Dispute Resolution

If a Buyer rejects an item, a “Dispute” is opened. Trospot Support acts as the neutral arbitrator.

Evidence

Both parties may be asked to provide evidence — unboxing videos, photos of the item, and chat history.

Buyer Wins

The item is returned to the Seller and Trospot issues a full refund to the Buyer.

Seller Wins

The escrowed funds are released directly to the Seller.

05

Seller Payouts

Once funds are released from Escrow, they appear in the Seller's Trospot Wallet. Sellers can request a withdrawal to their Bank Account or Mobile Money wallet at any time. Withdrawals are typically processed within 24 hours.
