Introducing escrow payments for all sellers
Mar 10, 2025· 4 min read
Starting today, all transactions on Paxlava are protected by Stripe-backed escrow.
What is escrow?
Escrow holds payment funds in a secure account until both the buyer and seller confirm the transaction is complete.
How it works on Paxlava
Why we built this
Before escrow, we saw disputes where sellers claimed payment never arrived or buyers said they never received the files. Escrow eliminates both problems.
Dispute resolution
If a buyer opens a dispute, our team reviews the message history and delivery evidence. Funds stay in escrow until resolved.
This is a major step forward for trust on Paxlava.
