Buyer Protection

Summary · last updated June 2026

This is a plain-language summary of how we protect buyers while we finalize the full policy. Contact us with any questions.

Source from verified suppliers

Every supplier is reviewed before going live, with a verification tier (Identity-checked, Verified, or Premium) shown on their profile so you know who you are dealing with.

Talk before you pay

Buyers reach suppliers only through in-app chat with built-in translation. Keep negotiations, samples and agreements in the chat so there is a clear record of what was promised.

If something goes wrong

Payment and shipping are arranged directly with the supplier, so always confirm terms before paying. If a verified supplier misrepresents themselves, contact us — we investigate and can remove suppliers who breach our standards.
