SellOnBay is in beta. Websites are free for early users.

Buyer protection

Buy with confidence. Pay only when it works.

Every website order is held in escrow. The seller is paid only after you check the files, or the review ends without a problem.

How buying works

Download code, database and setup guide. Domain in your name.

Report a problem and the seller gets a deadline to fix it.
5

The seller is paid and the website is yours.

Questions

When exactly is the seller paid?

After you approve, or 48 hours after delivery if no problem was reported. Paid every Thursday for earnings accepted at least 7 days ago.

Do I pay extra for escrow?

No. It is included in every website order.

How do I pay by bank or wallet?

Enter the reference at checkout when live payments open. We check it against the statement, then the order starts.

Who owns the domain?

You do. It is registered in your name, never the seller's.
