@myhandshakeapp: where does your money go after you pay? first, funds pause the client deposits payment into a protected holding account, so you can confirm the money exists before starting then you deliver you complete the agreed scope and submit the defined work through the documented process, creating a clear delivery record release needs proof payment moves after the agreed deliverable is accepted or the release conditions are met, not simply because time passed disputes need a referee if either side disagrees, an independent review process examines the agreement and evidence before deciding how funds should move #handshake #escrow #getpaid #nonpayment #holdfunds #strangersdobusiness #offplatform #scammed #transactionprotection #marketplacedeals
