How your money is protected
Trust from the mechanism, not from marketing.
You don't have to take our word for anything. Here is exactly what stands between your money and a bad outcome, at every step of a deal.
Money is held by a licensed provider — never by us
Every payment goes into Escrow.com, a licensed, regulated escrow provider. EcomFlips is the broker on the transaction; we never take custody of your funds.
The buyer pays the agreed price plus Escrow.com's fee (shown as a separate line before they commit) into escrow. Until the deal completes, that money sits with Escrow.com — the seller can't touch it, and the buyer can't be scammed by a fake payment.
Assets move on a dual-confirmed checklist — and only after funding
The transfer checklist unlocks only once the buyer's funds are secured in escrow. It's built for exactly what a store carries: the store platform, domain, ad and merchant accounts, socials, suppliers and email list.
Every item has to be confirmed by both the seller (handed over) and the buyer (received). Nothing is taken on trust; each confirmation is timestamped into an append-only record.
An inspection window before the money releases
Once the transfer is complete, the buyer gets an inspection window to verify everything is as described — 48 hours under €5,000, and 5 days above it.
If the buyer confirms (or the window passes without a dispute), funds release to the seller, minus our success fee. If something's wrong, they raise a dispute and the money stays put.
Disputes have a referee
If a dispute is opened during inspection, the deal freezes. EcomFlips mediates with the full record — offers, the signed agreement, every checklist confirmation and message.
The outcome (release, refund, or a partial split) executes through Escrow.com's dispute process. Neither side can quietly walk off with the money or the store.
