PayProtect Policies - IDRL
    A. Buyer & Seller Responsibilities - MANDATORY

    1. Buyer should clarify all his doubts with the Seller and ask for working video of product (except when it's completely new sealed unopened package). If this video is not available in this group, then it's considered a fault of both Buyer and Seller of not following PayProtect steps.

    2. Seller must upload single continuous video of packing product to Google Drive/Youtube that clearly shows each item being packed and share. Image/video of just packed product from outside or individual Whatsapp videos will not be accepted as proof in the event of a dispute.

    3. Buyer must upload single continuous video of unboxing and testing to Google Drive/Youtube and share. Individual Whatsapp videos will not be accepted as proof in the event of a dispute.

    4. Buyer will get max. 24 hrs after product is delivered by courier to submit the single continuous unboxing and testing video after which payment will be auto released to Seller.

    5. DMs between Seller and Buyer will not be accepted as proof to resolve disputes.

    6. All proofs must be shared in the WhatsApp group only and where they are required to be attached in the IDRL App.

    B. Marking in App - MANDATORY

    1. Buyer and Seller are required to mark their respective PayProtect steps in the IDRL App compulsorily only after that step has been completed by them.

    2. Failure to mark any step will halt the entire PayProtect process irrespective of any communication in the WhatsApp group and PayProtect Admin will simply not respond in the PayProtect group nor will it send any reminder.

    3. It is solely the responsibility of the Buyer and Seller to make sure that the steps are marked and alert each other if they are not marked.

    C. Multiple Items in a Single Listing Policy

    1. If a listing has multiple items, then the Seller will receive payment only after the Buyer has received all the items and they have been confirmed in satisfactory condition as per the PayProtect steps.

    2. We advise against putting multiple items in a single listing for sale via PayProtect as there are many complexities involved in such transactions and it is difficult to resolve disputes in such cases.

    3. It is best to list each item separately and use the PayProtect feature for each item separately.

    D. PayProtect Fee

    1. To initiate a PayProtect transaction, either Buyer or Seller must be an X Member.

    2. Having an X Membership for the Buyer means that he/she can initiate PayProtect transactions with both Free and X Sellers.

    3. Having an X Membership for the Seller means that he/she can initiate PayProtect transactions with both Free and X Buyers.

    4. The Buyer will pay a PayProtect fee of 2% of the mutually agreed price of the listing only when paying by UPI irrespective of whether hes an X Member or not. Shipping Price does not attract any PayProtect Fee.

    5. The Buyer will pay a PayProtect fee of 5% of the mutually agreed price of the listing only when paying by Credit Card irrespective of whether hes an X Member or not. Shipping Price does not attract any PayProtect Fee.

    6. PayProtect Fee is levied only on the Buyer and not on the Seller. The Seller does not pay any PayProtect Fee.

    E. Return Policy

    1. A return must be approved by the PayProtect Admin before it can be initiated by the Buyer.

    2. If the Buyer sends the product back to the Seller without approval from PayProtect Admin, then the Buyer will be responsible for the loss and money will be released to the Seller.

    3. The PayProtect Admin will solely decide whether the product is defective or unsatisfactory after hearing from both Buyer and Seller and based on the proofs that are available in the PayProtect group and IDRL App.

    4. Seller will pay for return shipping cost if Buyer has followed all his responsibilities as given in section A. above which is confirmed by PayProtect Admin.

    5. Buyer will pay for return shipping cost if he has not followed his responsibilities while Seller has followed his responsibilities as given in section A. above which is confirmed by PayProtect Admin.

    6. Seller and Buyer will split the shipping amount 50-50 of the return shipping cost if both Buyer and Seller have not followed their responsibilities as given in section A. above which is confirmed by PayProtect Admin.

    7. Seller will be given max. 12 hrs to confirm his return shipping address to Buyer as per his details available in the PayProtect Screen of the IDRL App failing which Buyer will ship the item to the Seller's address as given in the IDRL App.

    8. During return Buyer will follow the exact reverse steps as those followed by Seller during forward shipping such as uploading single continuous and complete packing video to Google Drive/Youtube along with other required proofs.

    9. Buyer will receive the money only after Seller has received back all the items of the listing.

    10. Seller has to perform the same steps of unboxing and testing and uploading video on Google Drive/Youtube.

    11. Money will be auto released to Buyer if Seller does not respond within 24 hours after return is received.

    F. Shipping Insurance & Damage to product during shipping

    1. Seller and Buyer will make sure that they purchase shipping insurance for the product whenever possible during BOTH Forward & Return Shipping.

    2. If product is not insured and it is damaged during shipping, then IDRL will NOT be responsible and will NOT be able to make any decision or compensation in any way and Seller and Buyer alone will have to sort out their differences. They will not hold IDRL or PayProtect responsible for this and if they do then future PayProtect requests from them will not be accepted.

    G. Dismantling, Modifications etc. to Product by Buyer without Seller's Consent

    1. At any point in time during an ongoing PayProtect, the Buyer is disallowed from dismantling, modifying, repairing, reverse engineering the received product or any such activities that could potentially hamper the original condition of the product.

    2. If the Buyer performs any of such above activities on the product without the Seller's consent, then the Buyer will be responsible for the loss and money will be released to the Seller.

    H. Guidelines for Newbies to the Hobby

    1. If you are new to the hobby, then we strongly recommend that you first learn from the community and get knowledgable about the basics before buying any product via PayProtect or on IDRL Market.

    2. You should also first buy a new product from a reputed seller and not a used product from a random seller.

    3. If you are buying on PayProtect for the first time or you are not knowledgable about the product that you have purchased then you should get on a video call with the Seller during the unboxing and testing step of PayProtect and seek appropriate guidance from the Seller.
