How to Sell Safely with Crypto Escrow: Seller's Guide | BM Escrow

How to sell safely with crypto escrow.

Never deliver on a promise again. With escrow, you can see the buyer's money is real before you send anything. Here's how to get paid quickly and without trouble.

The quick checklist

1Describe exactly what you're selling and how you'll deliver it.
2Add your payout wallet address for the deal's network, and double-check it.
3Send the buyer your share link.
4Don't deliver anything until the deal shows Held.
5Deliver, mark the deal delivered, and get paid when the buyer completes it.

Set up a clear deal

A clear description gets you paid faster and protects you in a dispute.

Be specific. “Logo design” leaves room for argument; “three logo ideas, two rounds of changes, final files in SVG and PNG” doesn't. Include quantities, versions, condition and how you'll deliver.

Then send the buyer your share link. They can see the deal, create a free account, and join in a couple of taps.

Wait until the payment is held

A screenshot isn't a payment. Held is.

The deal moves from Awaiting payment to Confirming to Held. Only Held means the full payment is confirmed on the blockchain and locked in escrow. That's your signal to deliver.

Don't deliver early

If a buyer asks you to deliver “while the payment confirms”, they're asking you to give up the protection escrow gives you. Wait for Held.

Deliver and mark it delivered

Let the buyer know it's done, and keep proof.

Deliver what was agreed, then mark the deal delivered so the buyer knows to check it. Add a note anyone could verify: a tracking number, a licence key reference, a download link. Keep your chat on the deal page so the record speaks for you.

Getting paid

The buyer completes the deal, and the payment comes straight to you.

As soon as the buyer marks the deal complete, we send the payment to your wallet, minus your share of the escrow fee. You'll see the transaction ID on the deal.

Buyer gone quiet? The payment stays safely held, it never goes back by itself. Open a dispute, share your proof of delivery, and we'll release the payment to you if you delivered what was agreed.

Once the deal is complete, the payment is final. The buyer can't pull it back.

Double-check your wallet address

A payout sent to the wrong address can't be recovered. Make sure it's your own address, on exactly the same network as the deal.

Selling something? Send the buyer a secure escrow link.

Opening an escrow deal is free and commits nobody. You only pay the fee once money is held.
