Private Trade Escrow Stops Stranger Risk

Private Trade — Secure Escrow System

What Private Trade means on 4Price

Private trade is 4Price’s built-in escrow service for direct transactions between two users. It is designed for situations where the buyer and seller do not know each other and need a safer way to complete the deal.

Instead of sending money straight to the other person, the funds stay with 4Price until the transaction is checked and both sides have moved forward properly. In practical terms, you are relying on 4Price as the trusted middle party, not a stranger online.

How private trade makes deals with strangers safer

The biggest risk in person-to-person online deals is simple: who goes first? Private trade removes that pressure by placing 4Price in the middle as a neutral escrow holder.

• You do not send money directly to the other person
• 4Price holds the funds as a neutral third party
• The receiver cannot access the funds until admin reviews and approves the deal
• If anything goes wrong, the sender receives a full automatic refund
• Both parties can chat in real time inside the trade before anything is finalized

It works much like a marketplace checkout, except this setup is built for direct user-to-user transactions. 4Price handles the protection layer for both sides.

Why users choose private trade

Private trade brings the main safety pieces into one flow: escrow, admin review, live status updates, and on-platform messaging. That makes peer-to-peer transactions much easier to manage.

Escrow protection

Your funds remain protected during the transaction. 4Price keeps the money in escrow until the trade is confirmed and approved.

Admin verification

Every trade goes through team review before funds are released. No payment is moved without oversight.

Built-in chat

You can communicate with the other party directly inside the trade. There is no need to move the conversation to Telegram, email, or any outside messaging app.

Automatic refunds

If the receiver rejects the trade or the transaction does not continue, the sender gets the funds back automatically. No waiting around. No manual dispute loop.

Clear and simple fees

A 20% service fee is charged only when a trade is completed successfully. If the trade does not complete, there is no fee to pay.

Real-time updates

You receive notifications throughout the full private trade process. That includes alerts when a trade is sent, accepted, approved, or when a new message is posted.

Easy withdrawals

Receivers can withdraw their earnings directly to Bitcoin. The minimum withdrawal amount is $5.

How to receive a private trade

If another user sends you a private trade, 4Price will notify you. You can then review the full offer and decide whether to accept it or reject it.

1. You will receive a notification when someone sends you a trade
2. Open "Private Trade" and go to the "Received" tab
3. Review the trade details:

   • Reject: the funds are returned to the sender automatically
5. After admin approval, your payment (after the 20% fee) is added to your balance
6. You can withdraw at any time from the "Withdraw" tab to your Bitcoin wallet
