First-time deal between a buyer in Berlin and a seller in Manaus? Skip the months of building trust. Once live, the flow is intended to reserve buyer funds through Mangopay-licensed payment rails, use 17track delivery evidence, and release after the dispute window.
A buyer in Berlin doesn't want to wire €15,000 to a stranger in Vietnam before the goods leave the factory. The seller doesn't want to ship before the money clears. Without a trust layer, most deals never happen — or take three months of bank guarantees, lawyers, and broker fees.
The traditional path: sample orders, video calls, third-party inspections, letters of credit. Slow, expensive, and only works for big deals. BLUN · Listing collapses it to one click.
SWIFT fees, currency conversion, broken payment rails, language barriers, customs disputes. Each one takes hours and adds risk. Trade Assurance is designed to move the sensitive parts onto explicit payment, tracking and dispute rails.
Most marketplaces require years of reviews before a buyer trusts a seller. Trade Assurance is designed to let a brand-new listing transact safely from day one — the payment rail does the trusting for both sides.
Trade Assurance is planned for Q3 2026 with Mangopay payment rails, 17track delivery evidence, a 3% seller transaction fee and 0% BLUN buyer platform fee.
Search verified companies. Filter by country, industry, capacity, and contactability. Pro listings show extra fields (capacity, MOQ, certifications, lead-time) so you can shortlist faster.
Tell the BLUN concierge what you need. It writes outreach in the seller's language, asks for MOQ + price + lead-time, normalizes the answers, and gives you a comparison. 60+ languages, no template smell.
Once live, a confirmed deal reserves the buyer's payment through Mangopay-licensed rails. The seller sees a funds-confirmed signal without guessing whether a wire is on the way.
The seller dispatches, then attaches the tracking number. 17track confirms pick-up, transit, customs clearance, and delivery — automatically. Both parties watch the same status board, in the same language.
Goods arrive. The clock starts. Once live, if no dispute is opened within the configured window, the payment partner releases the seller payout minus the final 3% seller transaction fee shown before checkout/release. If something's wrong, you open a dispute and BLUN's team mediates.
Designed for the Q3 2026 rollout: marketplace-grade payment rails, delivery evidence, and dashboard dispute handling exposed to every business on BLUN · Listing, regardless of size.
Once live, buyer payment is intended to sit at the licensed payment partner until delivery evidence and release rules are clear. Not on BLUN · Listing's balance sheet, not co-mingled with operating funds.
17track aggregates 1,800+ couriers worldwide. Once the seller attaches a tracking number, every milestone — picked up, customs cleared, on the way, delivered — auto-attaches to the deal. No screenshots, no doubt.
Once live, release rules are designed to follow delivery evidence and the configured dispute window. The window is long enough to inspect goods, short enough that legitimate sellers are not left waiting indefinitely.
The seller-paid transaction fee is 3% on completed Trade Assurance deals and is shown before checkout/release. Buyers pay 0% BLUN platform fee. Live Q3 2026.
Once live, the flow is intended to use Mangopay's CSSF-supervised electronic-money infrastructure. Funds would sit at the licensed payment partner, separate from BLUN Listing's own balance sheet.
Once live, you open a dispute from your dashboard before release. Release pauses while BLUN reviews the 17track timeline, photos and invoices from both sides, then proposes release, refund or partial settlement.
Same path: open a dispute within 14 days, attach photos and your reasoning. The seller can respond with their proof. BLUN mediates. Most disputes end in a partial release (e.g. 80% to the seller, 20% refund to the buyer for damaged units), which both sides usually accept faster than a full court-style fight.
The seller-paid transaction fee is 3% on completed Trade Assurance deals. Buyers pay 0% BLUN platform fee. Higher caps on Custom: talk to us if you are moving larger deals regularly.
Supported currencies and conversion terms are shown before checkout/release so both sides see the same amount. BLUN does not present hidden FX markup as a fee discount.
Same trust idea, different product shape. Most incumbents are marketplace-centric. BLUN Listing is neutral and Europe-first: a company index, dashboard communication, Mangopay rails and 17track evidence rather than a closed seller-storefront system.
Planned for Q3 2026. Some backend pieces exist, but public self-serve escrow remains roadmap until payment-partner onboarding, limits, release rules and dispute operations are production-ready.
Free to find. 19 €/mo to claim a listing and run the concierge. Trade Assurance escrow ships Q3 2026 to every Pro listing.
