Buying and Selling With Horsezone is safer than ever thanks to Equine SafePay!

Horsezone continues to prove why it’s Australia’s Number 1 Equine Site by leading the way with this innovative service, which makes buying and selling horses, floats and gear online easier and safer than ever before! 

Horsezone and Escrow Service provider, Check Vault, have partnered for Equine SafePay, Australia and New Zealand’s first Online Escrow Service, aimed at helping our customers buy and sell safely and confidently, while avoiding scammers.

Equine SafePay literally is a scammer’s worst nightmare and has proved to be a brilliant tool for stopping scam buyers and sellers in their tracks!

Great feeback!

We have had feedback from several buyers who suggested using Equine SafePay to sellers who appeared 'not quite right' and this immediately revealed them to indeed be a false seller. The potential buyers then contacted us and we were able to remove the false listings from Horsezone and alert others.

The Equine SafePAY service is simple:

1. The buyer makes an offer to purchase
2. The seller accepts or rejects the offer
3. The buyer then transfers the money into a Trust account managed by CheckVault
4. The horse or items is then transferred to the buyer
5. Once the horse or item is picked up or arrives, the buyer approves the release of the funds to the seller

This valuable service is available for anything for sale over $1,000.

Horsezone’s Business Manager, Tim Dreverman, commented on the service, “Equine Safepay provides our customers with a level of security and confidence that has increased the attractiveness of Horsezone as the place to buy and sell horses and horse related items online. In the past buying or selling online has sometimes been a leap of faith for both buyers and sellers with the looming risk of online scammers being on the other end of the transaction. The Horsezone team needed to combat this concern for our customers and create the most secure and safe platform possible. Our customers can buy and sell online securely and safely with Equine SafePay.”
