Seller protection
Why the seller is protected
Genuine sellers also need confidence before moving high-value gold.
Six assurances
What the desk fixes before shipment
- Buyer verification confirms the purchaser is qualified before execution.
- Escrow or bank-backed confirmation proves funding has been reserved for the deal.
- Procedure is agreed before shipment, reducing last-minute buyer changes.
- Payment release is tied to objective documents, not subjective negotiations.
- Commission and charges are disclosed so the net settlement is clear.
- Refinery assay creates a neutral basis for final pricing.
The principle
Seller confidence comes from verified funds, clear milestones and a single accepted procedure
The seller is paid when the agreed delivery, title, inspection and assay conditions are satisfied — measured against the written standard rather than renegotiated at the point of settlement.
