How to sell an item using the Escrow System?

To sell an item using the Escrow system, you must first register to use the Escrow system. To register click here.

The reason you need to register first is to ensure that we have all of your payment details so that we can pay out your funds as soon as the goods arrive at the buyer's destination.

To list an item for sale, please follow these easy steps:

Step 1 - Make sure you are registered. If you aren't sure, click this link.

Click on the "Selling" tab and if you see a page like this (image below) you are registered to use the Escrow System on RCTrader.com.

Step 2 - Assuming you have registered, the next step is to create a new listing.

Step 3 - Select Listing Category

Step 4 - Select Product Category
