Frequently asked questions
Why should I use escrow when hiring freelancers in Nigeria?
Informal transfers leave buyers unprotected if work is late or incomplete. Escrow holds payment until you approve delivery, reducing fraud and scope disputes.
When does the seller get paid?
After you approve the delivery — or after the auto-release window if you do not respond. Sellers then receive payouts according to platform disbursement rules.
What if the work is not acceptable?
You can request revisions within the order flow or raise a dispute before funds are released, so issues are handled with evidence instead of disappearing chats.
