Trade with Confidence

Your payments protected with escrow until you confirm delivery. No surprises, no risk.

How Escrow Works

A secure five-step process that keeps both buyer and supplier protected.

1

Buyer Places Order

You place your order and make payment through the platform.

2

Funds Held in Escrow

Your payment is held securely by Yumitrade. The supplier cannot access it yet.

3

Supplier Ships Goods

The supplier prepares and ships your order with tracked logistics.

4

Buyer Receives & Inspects

You receive the goods and have time to inspect them for quality and accuracy.

5

Funds Released to Supplier

Once you confirm everything is in order, the funds are released to the supplier.

What's Covered

Trade Assurance protects you in these situations.

Non-Delivery of Goods

If your order never arrives after the agreed delivery window, you are entitled to a full refund.

Wrong Product Shipped

Received something completely different from what you ordered? We will resolve it.

Significant Quality Issues

If goods are defective or significantly below the quality described in the listing.

Late Delivery Beyond Agreed Date

When delivery exceeds the agreed timeframe by a significant margin, you can file a claim.

What's Not Covered

For transparency, here are situations outside Trade Assurance scope.

  • Buyer's remorse after inspection approval — once you confirm delivery, funds are released.
  • Minor cosmetic variations within normal manufacturing tolerance.
  • Price disputes after order confirmation — pricing is locked at time of order.

Claim Process

If something goes wrong, here is how to get it resolved.

1

Raise a Dispute

Open a dispute through your order dashboard within the eligible window.

2

Submit Evidence

Provide photos, documents, and details supporting your claim.

3

Mediation

Our team reviews the case and mediates between buyer and supplier to find a resolution.

4

Resolution

A fair outcome is reached — refund, replacement, or partial compensation as appropriate.
