The supplier wants a deposit by wire, today, to an account in a name you do not recognise, in a country you were not expecting. You do not know whether that is normal or the last you will ever hear from them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo cheap habits fail here. The first is trusting platform Trade Assurance to cover you: it covers far less than most buyers assume, and only on-platform orders paid through the platform's own payment flow — step off it and you carry the loss alone. The second is asking the supplier which method they prefer, which means asking the other side of the deal to choose the terms that protect you. We do the checking instead: the company details, the account name, the deposit structure, the story the paperwork tells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice:\u003c\/strong\u003e $100 — fixed price. \u003cstrong\u003eTurnaround:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 working days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe verdict you get:\u003c\/strong\u003e Closes with a clear GEB verdict — pay as proposed, change the terms first, or walk away — plus a confidence level and the single red flag that matters most.
