What is CrankMart?
South Africa's dedicated peer-to-peer cycling marketplace with built-in escrow protection.
How does buyer protection work?
TradeSafe holds your payment in escrow until you confirm delivery. The seller doesn't see a cent until you're satisfied.
Why do I need TradeSafe verification?
Verification unlocks payouts. Without it, your listings show as "Seller verification pending" and buyers can't complete checkout.
What is escrow? (in plain English)
A neutral third party holds your money until both sides do what they promised. No surprises.

You can open a dispute. CrankMart reviews escrow-protected transactions and helps resolve issues fairly.
