Paying for a Marketplace purchase

Updated: 2026-09-29

Marketplace payments are arranged directly between you and the seller, using any method you both agree on. The Marketplace has no checkout.

Sebairo takes no payment or commission

No money for a sale passes through Sebairo, and Sebairo takes no cut. Your Sebairo wallet is not part of a sale. It holds credits for plans and advertising and cannot send money to anyone.

Choose a payment method

For most private sales, the safest arrangement is to pay in person when you collect the item, after you have seen it. A payment method with buyer protection gives you a way to dispute the charge if the item never arrives. Cash, bank transfers to someone you do not know and gift-card codes generally do not. Do not pay a deposit to hold an item for someone you cannot verify.

What costs money on Sebairo

Sebairo charges only for its own services: credits bought through Google Play and spent on a Pro or Business plan and on advertising. These are payments to Sebairo and are separate from any sale between two people.

Sebairo offers no escrow, no fee to release an item and no refunds on sales. Anyone who says otherwise is a scammer. Report them.
