Please note that you cannot place more than two ongoing orders at the same time. You must complete the existing order before placing a new order.

Q: Why do I need to upload a proof-of-payment before marking an order as paid?

A: Due to issues in our European market where users frequently mark orders as paid without actually making the payment, we require you to upload a proof of your payment before you can mark an order as paid. This helps prevent inconvenience for both buyers and sellers. You can upload 1-2 images proving that you have indeed made the payment for the order. Please ensure that the proof-of-payment you’ve sent is valid, otherwise, the platform reserves the right to cancel your order.

Note: Currently, the requirement to upload  proof-of-payment only applies to the EUR market. Other markets are not affected at the moment.
