How MEXC Escrow & Release Work
<div><h3>What is escrow in P2P trading?</h3><div>Escrow is a built-in safety mechanism that protects both the buyer and the seller during a P2P transaction. When a buyer places an order on MEXC P2P, the seller's crypto is automatically locked in an escrow, i.e. temporarily held by the platform.</div><div>This ensures that the seller cannot withdraw or transfer the funds while the buyer makes payment.</div><div> </div><h3>What happens after the order is placed?</h3><div>Once the buyer places an order:</div><ol start="1" style="list-style-type:decimal"><li style="text-align:left"><div>MEXC locks the exact amount of crypto from the seller's wallet into escrow.</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>The buyer proceeds to make the payment using the agreed payment method.</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>After completing the payment, the buyer must click <strong>I have Paid</strong>.</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>The seller verifies the payment and releases the crypto.</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>MEXC transfers the Crypto from escrow to the buyer's wallet.</div></li></ol><div>If the seller doesn't release the Crypto after payment confirmation, the buyer can open an appeal, and MEXC support will step in.</div><div> </div><h3>Avoiding Expired Orders: Why Timing Matters</h3><div>Every P2P order on MEXC comes with a countdown timer (payment window). If the buyer fails to click <strong>I have Paid</strong> before the timer runs out, the order will automatically expire, even if the payment has already been sent.</div><div>When this happens:</div><ul start="1" style="list-style-type:disc"><li style="text-align:left"><div>The crypto is released back to the seller</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>The trade is marked as incomplete/cancelled</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>The buyer may lose their funds, especially if the seller refuses to refund after expiration</div></li></ul><div>To avoid this, buyers must:</div><ul start="1" style="list-style-type:disc"><li style="text-align:left"><div>Check the timer before making any payment</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>Make sure there's enough time to complete the transfer and mark the order as paid</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>If the timer is running low, it's safer to cancel the order and place a new one</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>After completing the payment, immediately click <strong>I have Paid</strong> to keep the escrow in place</div></li></ul><div>Never send payment for an order that's about to expire. Escrow only protects you if you confirm the payment in time.</div><div> </div><h3>Is the seller's crypto locked no matter what?</h3><div>Yes. As soon as the order is placed, the seller's crypto is locked and cannot be accessed or withdrawn until the order is either:</div><ul start="1" style="list-style-type:disc"><li style="text-align:left"><div>Successfully completed (crypto is released)</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>Canceled (if payment isn't made in time)</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>Resolved by appeal (if there's a dispute)</div></li></ul><div>This protects the buyer from fake sellers or sudden withdrawals.</div><div> </div><h3>What should the seller check before releasing crypto?</h3><div>Before releasing crypto, the seller must:</div><ul start="1" style="list-style-type:disc"><li style="text-align:left"><div>Confirm that payment has been received in full</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>Verify the sender's name matches the buyer's registered name (for most payment methods)</div></li></ul><div>If there are doubts or irregularities, the seller should submit an appeal for MEXC to review the situation.</div><div> </div><h3>What if the buyer doesn't pay?</h3><div>If the buyer fails to complete payment within the payment window (usually 15–30 minutes), the order will expire automatically, and the crypto will be released back to the seller's wallet.</div><div> </div><h3>What if the seller doesn't release the crypto?</h3><div>If the buyer has paid and the seller does not release the crypto within a reasonable time, the buyer can:</div><ol start="1" style="list-style-type:decimal"><li style="text-align:left"><div>Click <strong>Appeal</strong> inside the order</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>Provide proof of payment (e.g. bank slip, confirmation screenshot)</div></li><li style="text-align:left"><div>Wait for MEXC's team to review and resolve the case</div></li></ol><div>If the evidence confirms payment was made, the platform will release the funds from escrow to the buyer.</div><div> </div><h3>Can escrow be bypassed?</h3><div>No. MEXC's system automatically locks crypto in escrow for every P2P order and there is no way to disable it.</div><div>Any attempt to trade outside the platform to avoid escrow is considered a serious violation and may lead to account suspension.</div></div>
