How it works

SwapEasy protects both sides of the deal, step by step

  1. 1

    Agree the terms

    One side opens the deal and shares its code. The other joins, reads the terms, and both sign off. The terms lock.

    Both
  2. 2

    Buyer deposits

    The buyer sends the full amount to SwapEasy's escrow account and submits the transaction reference.

  3. 3

    We verify — by hand

    A moderator checks the payment actually landed. No bots, no assumptions. Only then is the deal marked funds secured.

  4. 4

    Seller delivers

    With the money locked, the seller delivers exactly what the terms describe — transfers, credentials, files, work — in the deal's private chat.

  5. 5

    Buyer confirms

    The buyer checks everything works and confirms receipt. Anything wrong? Open a dispute and the deal freezes instantly.

  6. 6

    Payout released

    The moderator releases the funds to the seller, minus the escrow fee. Deal complete, everyone paid, everything on the record.

Pricing

One simple fee. Taken at the end.

SwapEasy charges 5% of the deal price, with a $5.00 minimum — deducted from the seller's payout only when the deal completes.

  • The buyer deposits the deal price — nothing on top
  • The seller pays the fee, out of the payout
  • Cancelled or refunded deals pay no fee at all
  • Opening a dispute costs nothing extra

Disputes

One click freezes the deal. A moderator settles it.

From the moment money is in play, either party can open a dispute. The deal locks instantly — no delivery, no payout — and a moderator takes over. There's no he-said-she-said: the ruling is made on evidence the platform already recorded.
