2. How Transactions Work: The Escrow System

To ensure secure transactions, the YuSocial Marketplace uses an escrow system, especially for physical products and productized services.

Here's how it works:

1. A buyer places an order and makes a payment.
2. YuSocial holds the funds in escrow while the seller processes the order.
3. Once the buyer receives the product or service and confirms delivery, YuSocial releases the funds to the seller after deducting the 10% commission.
4. If the buyer doesn’t confirm delivery within a certain period, YuSocial will release the funds automatically.

For digital products, the escrow system is not required since buyers receive their products instantly upon purchase.

Pro Tip: Always keep buyers updated on their order status to avoid disputes.

3. YuSocial's Commission on Sales

YuSocial charges a 10% commission on every successful sale. This means if you sell a product or service for ₦10,000, you’ll receive ₦9,000 after the commission is deducted.

This fee helps maintain the platform and ensures a secure and smooth selling experience for all users.

4. Withdrawing Your Earnings

Once you make a sale and the funds are released, you can request a withdrawal at any time. However, withdrawals are processed at least one day after the request.

This allows YuSocial to verify transactions and ensure all payments are made accurately.

Quick Tip: Plan your withdrawals in advance to avoid delays in accessing your funds.

5. Communicating with Buyers: No External Links or Contacts

To protect buyers and sellers, YuSocial does not allow phone numbers, social media handles, or external links in product descriptions.

Instead, all communication between buyers and sellers should happen through YuSocial’s Direct Messages (DMs). This ensures transparency and prevents fraudulent transactions outside the platform.

Best Practice: Always respond to inquiries promptly in DMs to build trust with potential buyers.

6. Managing Deliveries for Physical Products

Since YuSocial does not handle delivery logistics, sellers must arrange shipping with their buyers. Here’s how to do it efficiently:

• Clearly state your delivery options in the product description (e.g., nationwide shipping, pickup options, delivery timeframes).
• Discuss delivery fees upfront in your DMs with buyers.
• Use reliable couriers to ensure safe and fast delivery.
• Keep buyers updated on their order status until they receive it.

Pro Tip: Offer multiple delivery options (e.g., home delivery, pickup) to attract more buyers.
