Trusted Seller Protection ◆ Escrow services

How do we protect your money on Apex Ecosystem Shopping Worlds?

Your payment never goes straight to the seller. It moves along a controlled path — follow the four steps below to see exactly where your money sits at each stage, and what has to happen before it moves again.

Start a protected order

Search apexhop.com for products carrying the Protected mark and place your order. The Protection terms and fee are shown before you commit.

Money with you

Pay to Apex Ecosystem Shopping Worlds

Make payment to Apex Ecosystem Shopping Worlds, not to the seller — by card, bank transfer or letter of credit, in EUR, USD, GBP, AED, HKD or SGD.

Money with Apex

Escrow payment protection

Your payment is held in a segregated Protection account while the seller produces and the goods pass pre-shipment inspection. It is released only after the product is received and confirmed.

Held in escrow

Money-back policy for order issues

Goods that never arrive, arrive short, or arrive materially different from the agreed specification are refunded from the held amount. You have 30 days from delivery to raise a claim.

Released or refunded

If something goes wrong, open a claim from your order page. Apex reviews the order record, the inspection report and both parties' evidence, then either releases payment to the seller or returns it to you. The money stays in the Protection account for the whole of that time.

Two services ◆ one hub

What Trusted Seller Protection gives you.

Escrow protects the money. Trusted Seller status protects the choice you make before any money moves. Together they cover both halves of the risk.

Escrow services

Your funds sit with Apex until the goods are confirmed.

Payment is taken into a segregated Apex Protection account and held there through production and inspection. The seller sees that cleared funds exist, but cannot touch them.

✓Card, bank transfer or letter of credit, in six currencies
✓Release on your confirmation, or on agreed production milestones
✓30-day claim window from delivery, funds frozen while a case runs
✓Full refund of the held amount on non-delivery or wrong specification

Trusted Seller services

Every seller in the hub has been checked before you meet them.

Trusted Seller status is issued by the Apex entity in the seller's own region and reviewed annually. It is not a paid badge, and it can be withdrawn on a sustained claim record.

✓Trading licence, registered address and export history verified
✓Factory or premises audit on record, with photographs
✓Published response time, on-time rate and claim history
✓Pre-shipment inspection available on every listing

Common questions

Before you place the order

What does the Protection cost?

The Protection fee is shown on the order page before you pay and is charged as a percentage of order value. Nothing is deducted if the order is cancelled before production starts.

When is my money released to the seller?

When you confirm delivery, or automatically 30 days after delivery if no claim has been raised. Milestone releases can be agreed for long production runs.

Can I use the Protection on a sample order?

Yes. Sample orders below the standard minimum are accepted, though pre-shipment inspection is optional rather than included.

Which currencies are supported?

EUR, USD, GBP, AED, HKD and SGD, settled through the Apex entity registered in your region.

Does the Protection cover shipping damage?

No. The Protection covers the seller's performance against your order. Damage in transit is a matter for the carrier or your cargo insurance, and the inspection report helps you evidence the condition at dispatch.

Questions about an order or the Protection?

If you have any questions about online orders or Trusted Seller Protection, contact the Apex trade desk. Quote your order reference and a case officer will pick it up the same working day.
