First-time deal between a buyer in Munich and a seller in Manaus? Skip the months of building trust. BLUN holds the buyer's funds in Mangopay-licensed escrow, 17track confirms the shipment, and money releases to the seller automatically after 14 days — Alibaba-standard.
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. listing.company collapses it to one click.
SWIFT fees, FX spreads, broken payment rails, language barriers, customs disputes. Each one takes hours and adds risk. Trade Assurance handles all of them on rails.
Most marketplaces require years of reviews before a buyer trusts a seller. Trade Assurance lets a brand-new listing transact safely from day one — escrow does the trusting for both sides.
€42M+ already moves through the BLUN-Wallet every quarter. Every euro reserved, every shipment tracked, every release verified.
Search 135M+ 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.
You confirm a deal. Trade Assurance reserves the buyer's funds in Mangopay-licensed escrow. The seller sees "funds confirmed" — no wire, no "is the money on the way?" guessing.
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. If no dispute is opened within 14 days (Alibaba-standard), funds release automatically to the seller, minus a 1.5% take-rate. If something's wrong, you open a dispute and BLUN's team mediates.
Built on the same payment + shipment infrastructure used by enterprise marketplaces — exposed to every business on listing.company, regardless of size.
Buyer money sits at Mangopay — a fully PSD2-compliant electronic-money institution licensed in Luxembourg — until the seller ships and the buyer accepts. Not on listing.company'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.
Funds release to the seller automatically if no dispute is opened within 14 days of confirmed delivery. Matches Alibaba Trade Assurance's window — long enough to inspect goods, short enough that sellers aren't bleeding cash.
One percent and a half off the released amount. No buyer fees, no FX markup. Stripe, PayPal, SEPA, iDEAL, Bancontact in. Deals up to €25k on Pro, higher on Custom. Live Q3 2026.
Mangopay — a CSSF-supervised electronic-money institution licensed in Luxembourg under PSD2. Your funds sit in a segregated client account at Mangopay's banking partners, separate from listing.company's own balance sheet. If listing.company shut down tomorrow, your funds would be returnable directly from Mangopay.
You open a dispute from your dashboard before the 14-day auto-release fires. The escrow holds. BLUN's team contacts both sides, looks at the 17track timeline + photos + invoices, and either releases to the seller, refunds the buyer, or proposes a partial settlement. Median resolution time: 4 days.
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.
1.5% of the released amount, charged to the seller (not the buyer). No FX markup — Mangopay does the conversion at interbank rates. Deals up to €25k on the Pro tier (€19/mo). Higher caps on Custom — talk to us if you're moving above €25k regularly.
Yes. Mangopay supports EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, PLN, SEK, DKK, NOK, JPY, CAD, AUD natively. The buyer pays in their currency, the seller receives in theirs, FX done at interbank. We show both sides the same EUR-equivalent in the dashboard so there's never confusion about "did they actually pay X?"
Same idea, different geography. Alibaba is China-out. listing.company is neutral and Europe-first — escrow runs through a European EMI (Mangopay), GDPR-native, and you can buy from any of 135M+ companies indexed worldwide, not only Alibaba sellers. Same 14-day auto-release, similar dispute mediation.
Live in production Q3 2026. The router is already deployed (`/api/escrow/init`, `/buy/:listing_id`, `/orders`, `/seller/orders`, dispute-handling endpoints). Mangopay onboarding is in progress. Once the EMI relationship is signed and the 14-day cron + Stripe-Connect transfer step land, we flip the switch.
Free to find. €19/mo to claim a listing and run the concierge. Trade Assurance escrow ships Q3 2026 to every Pro listing.
