PayProtect Policies - IDRL
1. Seller should list the product in IDRL Market with complete and accurate details and share the same in the PayProtect group that allows the Buyer to get a complete and correct understanding of the features and condition of the product.
Any attempt or forgetfulness on part of the seller to hide/mislead details about the product that would lead to Buyer dissatisfaction and dispute will go against the Seller in the event of a dispute between the Buyer and Seller.
The extent to which the Seller has hidden details about the product will be solely decided by the PayProtect Admin after examining the details and proofs available in the PayProtect group and accordingly the decision will be conveyed to both Buyer and Seller.
The Buyer should also clarify all his doubts with the Seller and ask for working videos of the product (except when it's completely new sealed unopened package).
Real images of the product in hand of the seller are mandatory in all conditions of the product whether its New, Like New or Used or in any other condition.
It is also highly recommended that the Buyer and Seller have a video call if there are any doubts about the product and its condition or any missing details.
They should also have a video call if its deemed necessary that the Buyer requires assistance with the product before unboxing it.
2. Pre-order Products: If its a pre-order then the Seller is expected to share as accurate as possible details about the product and its condition and then proceed with sharing images and videos of the product as mentioned in the PayProtect steps when the Seller receives the product.
If working video of non-new/unsealed products is not available in the PayProtect group, then it's considered a fault of both Buyer and Seller of not following PayProtect steps.
3. Batteries: Please read the battery policy in section E completely
4. 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.

Individual WhatsApp videos will not be accepted as proof in the event of a dispute.

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.
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.

1. Buyer and Seller should examine the condition of the battery together over a video call. This is MANDATORY.
2. Simply sharing pics and videos of the battery without a video call will not be accepted as proof in the event of a dispute.

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.
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.
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.
