This Payment Policy explains how payments are processed on D&B Market. All payments on the platform are handled directly by D&B Market to ensure buyer safety, fraud prevention, and fast dispute resolution.

1. Accepted Payment Methods

Buyers can complete orders using any of the secure payment methods supported on D&B Market:

• Debit/Credit Cards (Visa, MasterCard, Verve)
• Bank Transfers (via supported checkout gateways)
• Mobile Money/Wallets (if enabled)
• Verified third-party payment processors approved by D&B Market

Note: Cash payments, direct vendor transfers, or payments outside the platform are strictly prohibited.

2. How Payments Work

• All payments are made directly to D&B Market during checkout.
• Vendors DO NOT receive payment directly from buyers.
• Funds are held securely until the buyer confirms delivery, or the system auto-confirms after a set period.
• After confirmation, vendors receive payouts through their registered payment details.

3. Payment Confirmation

Once your payment is successful, D&B Market will send:

• A payment confirmation email or SMS
• An order receipt
• Real-time status updates in your account dashboard

If you do not receive a confirmation within minutes, contact support immediately.

4. Failed or Declined Payments

If a payment fails or is declined:

• Your order will not be processed
• You may retry using another payment method
• Your bank may temporarily hold funds (pending reversal)

Reversals for failed transactions are handled automatically by your bank/payment processor and may take 24 to 72 hours, depending on your bank.

5. Refunds

Refunds are only issued under the following conditions:

• Item was not delivered
• Item delivered is damaged or incorrect
• Refund approved after a valid return request

Refunds are returned only through the same payment method used during checkout.

Refund processing time depends on the payment processor:

• Cards: 3 to 7 working days
• Bank Transfers: 1 to 3 working days
• Wallets: Instant or up to 24 hours

6. Prohibited Payment Practices

For buyer protection, the following are NOT allowed:

• Paying vendors directly via bank transfer
• Paying vendors through WhatsApp or social media
• Paying outside D&B Market checkout system
• Sharing payment receipts or card details with vendors

If any vendor asks you for outside payment, report immediately using the Report Vendor button or contacting support.

7. Chargebacks & Fraud

D&B Market has zero tolerance for fraudulent chargebacks or payment disputes.

If a chargeback is filed without a valid reason:

• Your account may be suspended
• Orders may be frozen
• Legal actions may be taken depending on severity

Legitimate disputes will always be resolved fairly according to platform rules.

8. Security Measures

Your payments are protected using:

• PCI-DSS certified payment gateways
• SSL/HTTPS encrypted checkout
• Fraud detection and monitoring systems
• Verification of vendors before payouts

D&B Market never stores your full card details, CVV, or PIN.
