Seller Protection for Private Ticket Transfers
A controlled private-sale workflow with trusted payment status, delivery evidence, buyer response, audited review, and guarded payout release.
Seller protection is what makes peer-to-peer ticket sales sustainable. Without it, buyer silence, bad-faith disputes, and payment disputes can make honest selling risky. Secure Ticket Transfer adds a controlled record and release process without promising that every dispute will be decided for the seller.
What protects you
Verified buyers
Every buyer has a verified email and phone number before they can initiate a transaction. These checks establish a reliable account and contact trail. They are not full buyer identity verification.
Payout protection
Payouts are released through Stripe after buyer confirmation or a separate audited STT delivery decision, and only after the protection hold and every other release guard pass. The response deadline alone does not release funds.
Evidence collection
The transaction room records every status change, every message, and every timestamp. Upload your transfer confirmation immediately — it's your strongest piece of evidence in any dispute.
Dispute handling that weighs both sides
The dispute process considers the transaction record and evidence from both sides. No outcome is guaranteed. See buyer protection for the symmetrical view.
How to stay protected
- Complete payout verification before listing.
- Transfer through the official issuer to the buyer's verified email.
- Upload transfer confirmation evidence inside the transaction room.
- Keep every conversation on the platform — texts and DMs are not evidence.
- Refuse off-platform payment requests, no matter the buyer's reason.
What's not covered
- Tickets that turn out to be counterfeit or already used.
- Transfers that fail due to seller error.
- Listings that misrepresent the section, row, or ticket type.
- Off-platform transactions.
