Every transaction on Bechmaaro — buying, selling, or renting — runs through the same escrow system. It’s the mechanism that lets two strangers trade with confidence, and understanding exactly what happens to your money at each step makes the whole process feel a lot less like a leap of faith.
Step 1: The buyer pays into escrow
When a buyer checks out, their payment doesn’t go to the seller directly. It’s held by Bechmaaro’s escrow system — the seller is notified that a sale is confirmed and payment is secured, but no funds move yet.
Step 2: The seller hands over the item
The seller ships the item or hands it over in person, and marks it as delivered on the platform. For rentals, this is the point the rental period officially begins.
Step 3: The 48-hour verification window
From the moment delivery is confirmed, the buyer has 48 hours to inspect the item and confirm it matches the listing. This window exists specifically so a buyer never has to release payment before they’ve actually seen what they bought.
Step 4: Funds released
If the buyer confirms receipt — or the 48 hours pass without a dispute being raised — the funds are automatically released to the seller, minus the platform fee. Most transactions complete this cleanly, with the seller paid within a day or two of the item being confirmed as delivered.
What happens in a dispute
If something’s wrong — the item doesn’t match the description, arrives damaged, or never shows up — the buyer raises a dispute within the 48-hour window instead of confirming. Bechmaaro Support then reviews evidence from both sides and issues a binding decision on how the escrowed funds should be released. Because the money never left escrow in the first place, neither side is ever left chasing a refund from someone who has already spent it.
