When and how is my payment protected?
As soon as your request is matched, your payment goes into escrow. The traveler is paid only after you receive the item and confirm it.

The item's local price in Japan, a reward for the traveler, and a platform fee (tiered by the requested price). No international shipping or forwarding-agent costs.
What if the item is fake or damaged?
You inspect the item before confirming receipt. If something is wrong, you can hold off and report it in the app — your money stays escrow-protected until you approve.
