Order Placed — Escrow Locked

Secured

When the buyer places an order, their $ASA4 is instantly moved from their wallet to a secure escrow hold. The seller is notified and can accept the order. Neither party can touch these funds until the trade concludes.

Coordinate & Deliver In-Game

The seller and buyer coordinate delivery through the order chat. The seller sets delivery details (server, time, in-game location) and delivers the item in ARK. Once delivered, the seller marks the order as "Delivered".

6

Confirm Receipt & Complete

The buyer confirms they received the item. The $ASA4 is released from escrow to the seller's wallet (minus the 5% platform fee). Both parties can leave reviews. If the buyer doesn't confirm within 72 hours, the trade auto-completes.
