When you’re selling a website on the Post It Website Marketplace, security is one of the most important factors you will want to feel comfortable about. Not only do you need to be sure that the buyer is transferring you the appropriate funds, but the buyer wants reassurance that you’ll actually deliver the goods. We have developed a solution to make both parties happy!

There are risks to using other payment methods for both buyer and seller. For you, the seller, the risks are much higher. For example, with PayPal, a buyer could open a dispute or use a fraudulent credit card.

With credit card transactions, they could initiate a chargeback or use a fraudulent card. Either way, they end up with the goods, and you end up without your money.

An Escrow service is the best way to handle transactions like this. The buyer puts the funds in escrow, assuring you that the money is there. You send them the goods.

For them to receive rights to own and use the goods (i.e. the website and/or domain, in this case), they need to release the funds to you. If you don’t get paid, they don’t get their goods – and if you don’t send the goods, you don’t get paid.

We have developed our own Escrow system for our buyers and sellers to safely use. We handle all funds, and make sure the buyers and the sellers are completely satisfied with their transaction. Read below to find out how to start using PostIt.ws appropriately.

Adding funds to your account!

Once you have logged in, go to your account and click on “Payments”. This page will show the current balance you have available to use for bidding on a website or domain. To deposit money into your account, just click on “Deposit Money” to make a payment. Payments are held by PostIt.ws and you can withdraw your account balance at any time or use your new balance to buy new websites on the Post It Website Marketplace.

Withdrawing Funds!

To withdraw an amount from your account, simply click on “Withdraw Money” to have PostIt.ws deposit a specified amount into your PayPal account. You can only withdraw money you have available in your account.

Making a Payment to a Seller!

If you have won an auction and need to make a payment to the seller, just click on “Make Payment”, enter the amount of the payment, and the user it will be going to. Once the seller has received the payment, they will initiate the transfer of their website or domain to you and you can communicate the transaction appropriately.

We hope you enjoy using the Post It Website Marketplace to safely buy and sell websites online!
