Trade & Escrow Lifecycle
- •Offer created between two members.
- •Both parties accept — a binding agreement forms; the $1 platform fee applies.
- •Buyer funds are charged and held in escrow (processed & custodied by Stripe).
- •Shipping label generated; items ship within 3 business days.
- •Delivery confirmed by the shipping carrier.
- •Receipt confirmed by the buyer (and the other side for a trade).
- •Escrow released.
- •Seller payout scheduled — hold window depends on Rank / T-Volly Bond.
- •Funds disbursed to the seller via Stripe Transfer to their Connect account, then paid out to their bank by Stripe, minus the flat $1 platform fee.
Seller Payouts & Disbursement
TradeVolly does not hold your money — Stripe does. Funds are charged to the buyer and held in Stripe-managed escrow. When escrow releases (buyer confirms, or the next-day auto-release), the sale total minus the flat $1 fee is moved via a Stripe Transfer to the seller's connected Stripe Connect account, then paid out to their bank by Stripe.

Sellers must connect a Stripe Connect account on the platform before payouts can route. Sales under $100 always wait the 4-hour base hold.
