Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about bid+escrow global access
Why are commercial operations limited to the USA?
Full commercial operations (selling, payment processing) require local company registration, banking relationships, and compliance with country-specific financial regulations. We maintain this structure to ensure legal compliance while providing global access to our escrow-protected marketplace.
Is my transaction secure globally?
Yes! All transactions worldwide are protected by our enterprise escrow system. Funds are held securely until both buyer and seller confirm satisfaction, providing trust and security for all participants.
Why can't I become a verifier in my country yet?
Verification services require local company registration and partnerships with local authentication providers in each country.
How does international shipping work?
USA sellers handle international shipping. You pay through our secure escrow system, and the seller ships the product to your international address.
Is escrow available for international purchases?
Yes, escrow is fully available for international purchases. Your funds are protected until you receive and approve the product.
How do I know when my country gets full access?
We'll announce it through our blog, newsletters, and app notifications. Full access means we have registered a local subsidiary in your country.
