Commission and Fees

SellZan charges a commission on wallet withdrawals based on your subscription plan (Free: 10%, Student: 5%). Commission rates are displayed clearly in the app and may be updated with 30 days' notice.

Seller Plans

Seller plans (Free, Student) determine your product listing limits, flash sale limits, discount limits, and commission rate. Plan details are displayed in the app. SellZan reserves the right to change plan features with reasonable notice.

🛒 Buyer Terms

As a buyer on SellZan, you agree to:

💳 Payments and Escrow

Escrow System

SellZan uses an escrow payment system. When you place an order, your payment is held in escrow by SellZan until you confirm receipt of your order. Once you confirm receipt, funds are released to the seller's wallet.

Payment Processing

Payments are processed through Paystack, a licensed payment service provider. By making a payment, you also agree to Paystack's terms of service.

Refunds

Refunds are handled through the dispute resolution process. If a seller fails to deliver an order or the product significantly differs from its description, buyers may raise a dispute. SellZan will mediate and, where appropriate, initiate a refund.

Wallet Withdrawals

Sellers may withdraw funds from their SellZan wallet to their mobile money or bank account. Withdrawals are subject to the applicable commission rate on your plan and may take 1-3 business days to process.

⚖️ Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises between a buyer and seller, either party may raise a dispute through the app within 7 days of order delivery. SellZan will review the dispute and make a determination based on available evidence.

SellZan's dispute decision is final for transactions processed through the platform. For disputes involving significant sums, we may request additional documentation from both parties.

Funds in escrow are not released until a dispute is resolved. Do not attempt to settle disputes outside the SellZan platform for transactions processed through us.

🚫 Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:
