Escrow Policy
Last updated on July 14, 2026
Overview
To protect both buyers and sellers, Bidoro may use an escrow system where funds are held securely until the transaction is successfully completed. This policy works together with Bidoro's Terms & Conditions and Refund & Returns Policy.
1. How Escrow Works
The escrow process follows these steps:
- Buyer makes payment
- Funds are held via Bidoro’s licensed payment partner (not released immediately to the seller)
- Seller delivers the product/service
- Buyer confirms receipt
- Funds are released to the seller
If a dispute arises, funds remain in escrow until resolved.
2. Buyer Protection Period
Buyers have one (1) hour after delivery confirmation to confirm item condition, report issues, or open a dispute. If no dispute is filed within this 1-hour window, funds held via Bidoro’s licensed payment partner may be automatically released to the seller.
- Confirm item condition
- Report issues
- Open a dispute
If no dispute is filed within the protection window, funds are automatically released to the seller.
3. Escrow Fees
Bidoro may charge:
- A service fee
- A transaction processing fee
All fees will be disclosed before payment confirmation.
4. Escrow Disputes
If a dispute is opened within the 1-hour window:
- Funds remain held via Bidoro’s licensed payment partner
- Both parties must submit evidence
- Bidoro reviews and decides under the Dispute Resolution Policy
Bidoro's decision determines whether funds go to the buyer or seller.
Important: By using Bidoro's escrow service, both buyers and sellers agree to abide by the terms outlined in this policy.
