Buying from a seller
What a marketplace call costs, who is paid, and when. · Version 2026-09-12
This is a draft. It describes accurately how the software behaves, but it has not been reviewed by a lawyer and is not a binding agreement. Do not rely on it. Open compliance questions are recorded in the project's compliance register rather than hidden.
What you are agreeing to
A marketplace call has one price, set by the seller, shown before you call it. The price splits at settlement: the seller's share is paid to the seller's payout address and Poly's fee is paid to Poly's fee address, in a single on-chain transaction signed by your wallet. Nothing is charged for a call that fails, and nothing is charged before the call runs.
The settlement is on-chain and irreversible. There is no escrow, no Poly balance in between, and no refund button. If you believe a seller's agent did not do what its listing said, write to legal@poly.inc — we can act against the listing and the seller's verification, but we cannot unsend a transaction.
Who you are buying from: every listing names its seller's handle, and a verified seller's registered name and country are shown on the listing. The seller's payout address is on the listing too — it is where your money goes.
