When buying or selling items online, especially through classified ads or social media platforms, there’s always a risk of being scammed. Paysho is a South African escrow service that helps buyers and sellers avoid these risks.

Paysho acts as a trusted third party, holding the buyer’s money until they receive and approve the goods or services. Once the buyer is satisfied, Paysho releases the funds to the seller. This protects both parties:

Buyers are protected because they don’t have to release the money until they know they’re getting what they paid for.

Sellers are protected because they can be sure they’ll get paid once the buyer confirms receipt and satisfaction with the goods or services.
