Buying a salvage or clean-title car on Copart often breaks on payments and cross‑border settlement. With PayMeSafe, the buyer locks funds in a non-custodial escrow and the seller (exporter or broker) delivers according to agreed deadlines. Practical steps: (1) agree on the subject (VIN, lot, delivery scope) in Subject; (2) set Acceptance, Delivery and Confirmation deadlines; (3) choose who pays Service fee and Network fee; (4) lock funds in USDT or other supported currency; (5) release happens after confirmation, or a dispute is opened before the dispute deadline. This removes chargeback-like risks and makes payout predictable for the broker. Fees are transparent: the estimated network fee is calculated for your currency and the service fee is shown both in % and USD equivalent. The buyer can be a private person while the seller is a company — the escrow flow works the same. If the lot is canceled or delivery fails, funds are unlocked by dispute coordination.

Tighter sanctions regimes increased false positives and manual reviews in correspondent banking, making international wires slow and unpredictable. For commercial trades this translates into missed delivery windows and additional costs. In contrast, crypto-to-escrow settlement in PayMeSafe is near‑instant on-chain with predictable network fees and a transparent service fee. In typical USDT flows, the total per-transaction cost is often lower than a SWIFT wire plus bank FX spread. Key points for teams: (1) predictability — deadlines in the deal govern when funds must move and when a dispute can be opened; (2) transparency — who pays the service fee and network fee is explicit; (3) jurisdiction neutrality — no correspondent banks, while still maintaining user-facing business rules for acceptance, delivery and confirmation. This does not replace compliance, but it reduces payment friction where wires are unreliable.

Developers and agencies in Dubai increasingly accept stablecoins, but the payout logic still matters. With PayMeSafe the buyer locks funds; the seller provides title transfer steps and documentation; release happens after buyer confirmation or at the confirmation deadline if no dispute was opened. Custom terms allow adding RERA-specific conditions or staged delivery (reservation, SPA, final handover). Service/network fees can be assigned to either party, supporting common commercial arrangements. This structure is helpful for overseas buyers who don’t want funds to sit uncontrolled with an intermediary. If something goes off-track, a dispute can be opened before the dispute deadline. All deadlines are explicit in the deal card, giving both sides a shared timeline.

In PayMeSafe the buyer locks a crypto amount (e.g., USDT) as the Payment resource. The Subject describes what is being exchanged (goods/services). After both parties accept, there are three essential time windows: Delivery (seller must deliver), Confirmation (buyer must confirm), and Dispute (either side can open until the dispute deadline). If delivery happens and the buyer confirms, funds are released to the seller. If there is no confirmation, the confirmation deadline governs the next step; if a dispute is opened in time, funds remain locked until the dispute is resolved. Two fees may apply: Service fee (who pays is explicitly selected) and on-chain Network fee (estimated for your currency). This model reduces counterparty risk without custodial holding of user funds outside of the rules set in the deal.

Start with Subject: describe what you are buying or selling and add details (model/SKU, VIN, or service scope). Then set the Amount you lock/receive in a supported currency (e.g., USDT) — USD equivalent is shown for clarity. Choose who pays Service fee and Network fee; both are visible before you proceed. Next add a Deal Title and custom Terms and Conditions if needed. Finally define deadlines: Acceptance (when the other side must accept), Delivery (when the seller must deliver), Confirmation (when the buyer must confirm) and Dispute (until when a dispute can be opened). These windows make the expected flow explicit and provide a safe fallback if someone is unresponsive. When you submit, funds are locked according to the rules. After delivery and confirmation, the release happens automatically. If something goes wrong, open a dispute before the dispute deadline — funds stay locked until the situation is resolved.
