Pay only to the details inside the trade

The rule

When you buy, Peerlyx shows the seller's payment details inside the trade. Those are the only details you should pay to. Not a number sent in the chat, not an account mentioned in a message, not details someone gives you on another app.

Why it matters

Escrow protects the crypto, but it can't protect money you send somewhere else. If you pay to different details and something goes wrong, support has no record linking that payment to the trade. Your money may simply be gone.

Common tricks

• "My usual account is blocked today, please pay to this one instead."
• "Send it to my friend's account, it's faster."
• "Split the payment across these two accounts."

Any request to pay somewhere other than the trade details is a warning sign, even if it sounds reasonable.

What to do instead

• Copy the details from the trade page, not from the chat.
• Send the exact amount shown in the trade.
• If the details look wrong or the seller asks you to use others, don't pay. Ask in the trade chat, and cancel the trade if you're unsure. As the buyer, you can cancel before you pay.

For sellers

Keep the payment details in your account up to date, so buyers always see the right ones in the trade. Never ask a buyer to pay anywhere else.
