The Escrow service is free to those buying or selling any item listed by BB List Ltd

Buying at a distance raises the concern about sending money, cash or a cheque, to an unknown person in the hope that they will send you the item you wish to buy. Another concern is that when the item arrives it may not be what is expected or in the condition described.

The vendor’s dilemma is whether or not to send the goods before receiving payment. Bazza’s Bazaar eases those problems for you by offering its escrow service. Any item listed in Bazza’s Bazaar Catalogue or published on the web site database can only be sold or purchased through the Escrow Service offered by Bazza’s Bazaar. This will effectively be a five stage process

• A deal agreed
• The buyer pays Bazza’s Bazaar
• The merchandise is shipped from the vendor to the buyer
• The buyer has 24 hours to examine the merchandise to ensure that it is as described by the vendor
• The vendor is paid

Payment for any item will be made to Bazza’s Bazaar where it will be paid into a non-interest bearing client account. When the payment has been cleared by the bank, and not before, the item will be shipped to the buyer.

Only carriers (shipping companies) such as Amtrak, FedEx or UPS, which offer the facility to track items via the Internet, should be used. This tracking facility will enable Bazza’s Bazaar, the buyer and the vendor to know the time and date when the item was collected, where it is in transit and, importantly, the delivery time and place. Unless otherwise agreed by the vendor, shipping charges and insurance will be paid by the buyer. The buyer will be given 24 hours maximum to examine the item. Should it not be as described in the catalogue or not functioning if it was sold as a functioning item the item must be returned by the same carrier used to ship the item, and collected by that carrier within 48 hours of delivery. If the item is not returned within that period it is deemed that the buyer is satisfied and the vendor will be immediately paid by Bazza’s Bazaar, less any commission and any other charges and VAT, where this is applicable.

This system will now give vendors greater confidence in knowing they will receive payment or, in the unlikely event that the goods have been inaccurately described, they will have their property returned. Buyers can be confident that they will receive the goods, and with some guarantee that the condition will be as stated by the vendor. But it must be remembered that the contract of sale/purchase is between the buyer and seller.

Buyers can pay Bazza’s Bazaar by cash, Banker’s draft, by cheque drawn of a British Bank Account or International Money Order or pay directly into Bazza’s Bazaar’s Client Account by Electronic Transfer. All payments must be in pounds sterling.  

We charge a commission of 6% to provide Escrow if you are buying or selling elsewhere. Please ask for details.

Please note
Banks charge for making cross border currency transactions. For example we can be charged either 6GBP, 10GBP or even 20GBP to receive a foreign payment even though the payer has instructed his bank that he will pay all bank charges to transmit the funds.
When we make payments to overseas vendors our bank will charge either 10GBP or 20GBP to transmit funds. Of course, we have to pass these charges on to the recipient.
Banks also charge for currency conversion. The rates vary each day.
You will need to check with your bank what is will cost you so send or receive a foreign payment.
