What shows on your statement
Your bank sees a payment to the app you used, nothing else. No adult descriptor, no site name.
No cards, no chargebacks
We do not take credit or debit cards. A payment from your app is final once it goes through, which is also why sellers can ship without worrying about a reversal. If something goes wrong with an order, use the order request on the order card. Buyer and seller have 72 hours to agree on a re-ship, a full refund or a partial refund.
First time?
Some apps ask you to confirm who you are before the first scan. That is a one-time step inside the app. After that, each payment takes about 3 seconds. The price is always shown in US dollars, plus the processing fee: 10% of the first $50 and 3% above that, never more than $49.99.
