Marketplace transactions

The protection layer marketplaces never built.

Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree and private sales were never designed with transaction protection built in. TrustEcho adds accountability before money changes hands.

Common categories

Built for the high-value items that scammers target.

  • Electronics, phones, laptops, gaming gear
  • Furniture and homewares
  • Collectibles and memorabilia
  • Tools and equipment
  • Tickets and high-demand items
  • Anything over a few hundred dollars
How it protects both sides

No cash. No bank transfer roulette.

  • No money changes hands directly between buyer and seller.
  • Buyer's payment is securely held by TrustEcho before pickup or shipping.
  • Seller sees the funds are real and waiting before sending the item.
  • Delivery or in-person handover is confirmed by both sides.
  • TrustEcho releases payment only after the agreed conditions have been satisfied.
Transaction flow

A safer marketplace transaction.

TrustEcho introduces a shared process that protects both buyer and seller before, during and after the transaction.

01

Create Transaction

Agree on the item, price and delivery expectations. Buyer and seller can upload descriptions and photos so both share the same record.

02

Both Parties Verify

Identity and transaction details are confirmed before any money moves directly between buyer and seller.

03

Funds Secured & Goods Exchanged

TrustEcho securely holds the agreed funds before anything changes hands. Delivery, shipment tracking or in-person handover is then confirmed by both sides.

04

Funds Released

TrustEcho releases payment only after the agreed conditions have been satisfied and both parties confirm completion.

Common risks

Marketplace scams rely on trust. TrustEcho doesn't.

Traditional Marketplace

  • Bank transfers to strangers
  • No shared agreement
  • No evidence of what was promised
  • Difficult disputes
  • Easy for bad actors to disappear

TrustEcho Transaction

  • Shared transaction record
  • Identity verification
  • Two-party confirmation
  • Documented completion
  • Funds only released after confirmation

Protect your next marketplace transaction.

Whether you're buying or selling, TrustEcho creates accountability before money moves.
