About this article
Bumaga Service escrow helps buyers and sellers complete transactions without relying on direct upfront payment to an unfamiliar counterparty. Below we explain our process, fees, dispute handling, and how to verify the official contact.
1. How escrow works
The buyer and seller agree in advance on the item or service, price, deadlines and acceptance criteria. The buyer deposits funds with escrow; the seller receives deposit confirmation and fulfills the obligations. Once completion is confirmed, escrow releases payment to the seller, accounting for the fee. Escrow does not replace the parties' agreement or set its terms for them.
2. Transaction steps
1. Contact. Both parties approach the escrow service.
2. Terms. They record the amount, deadlines, subject, delivery method and acceptance criteria.
3. Deposit. The buyer transfers the agreed funds to escrow.
4. Performance. The seller delivers the item or provides the service.
5. Review. The buyer checks the result against the terms.
6. Settlement. Once performance is confirmed, escrow releases funds to the seller. Disagreements are reviewed separately.
3. Bumaga Service fees
Our fees are 4% or 6% of the transaction amount. The applicable rate is agreed before the deposit. Other escrow services may charge anywhere from 3% to 10%, but this is an indicative range rather than a verified market-wide standard. Compare procedures and dispute terms as well as percentages. The fee pays for handling the transaction; it does not guarantee any particular outcome. Confirm any non-refundable-fee terms in advance.
| Transaction amount | 4% | 6% |
|---|---|---|
| 100 USD | 4 USD | 6 USD |
| 500 USD | 20 USD | 30 USD |
| 1 000 USD | 40 USD | 60 USD |
| 5 000 USD | 200 USD | 300 USD |
| 10 000 USD | 400 USD | 600 USD |
4. If a dispute arises
Disputes may arise from missed deadlines, goods not matching their description, incomplete services, or different interpretations of the terms. A review considers the original agreement and relevant evidence: chat messages, photographs, video, documents, and proof of delivery or completion. Clearly defined acceptance criteria make both parties' claims easier to evaluate.
5. Why due diligence still matters
An intermediary reduces certain payment risks, but cannot guarantee every counterparty's honesty or the quality of every item or service. Check the counterparty's reputation, agree on clear terms, and be wary of artificial urgency or refusal to provide supporting evidence.
6. Arbitration and reputation tools
Beyond escrow, Bumaga Service offers Arbitration, a Scam List and a Red Flag List. Arbitration concerns dispute resolution, the Scam List publishes information about fraud cases, and the Red Flag List highlights potential reputation concerns. These resources add context but do not replace independent checks.
7. How to verify the real escrow contact
Fraudsters can copy Telegram avatars, names and account styling. Verify escrow through official Bumaga Service channels rather than a link supplied solely by the buyer or seller. Do not send deposits to unverified payment details, accept sudden escrow account substitutions, or change the agreed terms without confirmation. Verify any suspicious contact before paying.
8. Why we document the terms
Escrow cannot promise that disputes will never occur. The process depends on agreed terms, deposit confirmation, acceptance of performance, and evidence review if needed. Describing the deliverables in services and digital-product transactions is particularly important. Vague terms can cause disagreements even between well-intentioned parties.
9. How to use the service
First verify the official Bumaga Service contact. Agree with the counterparty on the amount, deadline, deliverables, acceptance criteria, and review procedure. Then confirm deposit handling and the applicable 4% or 6% fee with escrow. Our central principle is clear terms and resolving disagreements based on facts and evidence.
