How to Buy on OmniBazaar
Finding Items
Browse the Marketplace by category or use the search bar to find specific products. Filter results by price, condition, location, and seller rating to narrow your options.
Reviewing Listings
Click on any listing to see full details including photos, description, seller ratings, and shipping options. Check the seller's reputation score and verification status before purchasing. Verified sellers (KYC Level 2+) have been identity-checked for added trust.
Making a Purchase
- Click Buy Now or Make Offer on the listing page.
- Review the total price. As a buyer, you never pay a platform fee — only the item price (plus shipping, if any).
- Confirm the transaction. Your payment is held safely until you confirm you got the item (this is called escrow) — no company holds your money in between.
- The seller ships the item or delivers the digital product.
- Once you receive and inspect the item, click Confirm Receipt to release payment to the seller.
Buyer Protection
Smart contract escrow protects every purchase. Your payment is held securely until you confirm delivery. If issues arise, you can open a dispute within the escrow period. If there's a problem, three independent community members (called arbitrators) review the evidence from both sides and decide the outcome — no single company makes the call.
Payment Methods
OmniBazaar accepts XOM (native token), AVAX, USDC, USDT, and other major cryptocurrencies on OmniCoin, our own blockchain. Fiat payment gateways are being integrated for supported regions.
Tips for Safe Buying
- Always check seller ratings and reviews before purchasing.
- Verify transaction details before confirming.
- Use escrow for all transactions — never send payment directly.
- Save communication records in case of disputes.
- Report suspicious listings using the community policing tools.
