When am I charged as a buyer?

Key reassurance question

You are charged at the moment you confirm your purchase.

Immediate charge, active protection

The funds are charged immediately. Thanks to buyer protection, the funds are:

• blocked,
• secured,
• not transferred to the seller until the transaction is validated.

Payment to the seller

The seller receives the funds only:

• after the buyer confirms receipt,
• or after automatic validation 24 hours after delivery.
