What Is Escrow?
Escrow is a secure holding system where the buyer's payment is held by GGGamingStore until the transaction is completed successfully. This prevents either party from being scammed.
How It Works
When a Buyer Pays:
- The payment is processed
- The seller's portion (listing price minus platform fee) is placed in escrow
- The buyer receives their order (instant or manual delivery)
When Delivery Happens:
- Buyer checks the delivered item
- If satisfied, buyer confirms delivery
- Escrow funds are released to the seller's settlement pending balance
If There Are Issues:
- Buyer contacts seller through order chat
- If unresolved, buyer can open a dispute (12 hours after delivery)
- Our moderation team reviews the case
- Escrow funds are held until resolution
Auto-Complete Protection
If the buyer does not manually confirm or dispute an order within 3 days of delivery, the order auto-completes and funds are released to the seller automatically.
Settlement Hold
After escrow release, funds are held for an additional 7 days in settlement pending before becoming available for withdrawal. This protects against payment chargebacks.
