Escrow

Nobody can run off with your funds

Escrow is the core of ZARXE. USDT is held by the platform for the duration of every trade, so the buyer knows the coin exists and the seller knows it can't leave until they say so.

  1. Order opens — USDT locked

    The instant a buyer opens an order, the seller's USDT moves from available balance into escrow. Neither side can withdraw or re-advertise it.

  2. Payment window starts

    The seller sets how long the buyer has to pay. A live countdown runs in the trade room; unpaid orders expire and the USDT returns to the seller.

  3. Buyer pays and marks as paid

    The buyer transfers rand from their own bank account to the seller's details shown in the trade room, then marks the order as paid. Cancellation is disabled from this point.

  4. Seller confirms with a one-time code

    The seller ticks a confirmation that the rand reflects, then enters a one-time code emailed to them. This prevents accidental or coerced releases.

  5. Escrow releases

    USDT lands in the buyer's ZARXE wallet immediately and both parties can rate each other. Withdraw on TRC20 or BEP20 whenever you like.

  6. If there's a problem — dispute

    Either side can raise a dispute. Escrow stays frozen while our team reviews proof of payment and bank records, then releases or refunds accordingly.

Escrow rules in plain English

Sellers can only list what they hold

Advert amounts are checked against your live available balance, so you can never sell USDT twice.

Buyers can't cancel after paying

Once an order is marked paid, cancellation is locked and only the dispute desk can resolve it.

Pay from your own account

Third-party payments are the single biggest cause of disputes. Always transfer from an account in your own name.
