How LinkBourse works

The short version: your money sits in escrow from the moment you order until you approve the live link.

1. 1

   You order

   Balance → escrow

   The publisher has 48 hours to accept. If they do not, the full amount returns to your balance.

2. 2

   The publisher writes and publishes

   In escrow

   Due by the deadline on the offer. Miss it, and you can cancel and take the full amount back yourself.

3. 3

   You check the live link

   In escrow

   5 days to approve, send it back for revision or open a dispute. Either of the last two stops the clock.

4. 4

   Funds release

   To the publisher, less 10%

   A link removed later can still be disputed on the completed order.

Questions buyers ask

When does my money actually leave my balance?

The moment you place the order. It moves from your available balance into escrow, where neither side can spend it. The publisher sees a funded order, which is why acceptance is fast.

When does the publisher get paid?

After you approve the delivered link, or automatically 5 days after delivery if you do not respond. Requesting a revision or opening a dispute stops the auto-approve clock.

What if the publisher never accepts?

The order cancels itself after 48 hours and the full amount returns to your balance. No action needed from you.

What if the link goes live but is wrong?

Send it back for revision with a specific note. Each offer states how many revisions it includes: you can see the number on the order panel before you pay, and it is fixed at purchase, so the publisher cannot reduce it afterwards. If they will not fix it, open a dispute before approving. Funds stay in escrow while an admin reviews the evidence.

What if the link is removed weeks later?

You can still open a dispute on a completed order. Publishers who remove paid links are refunded against and their rating carries the review permanently.

How do I add funds?

No payment method is connected yet. Write to [email protected] and we will tell you when one is.

What does it cost?

Buyers pay the listed price, nothing more. Publishers pay 10% of a completed order. Withdrawals cost $2 and start at $50.

Are the SEO metrics verified?

Every listing says where its figures come from and how old they are: reported by the publisher, as listed by our partner network (for listings sold by LinkBourse), or checked through a data provider. Domain ownership is a separate check by DNS, meta tag or file; that is what the “Verified” badge means. Check DR and traffic yourself before you order; a material gap between claimed and real metrics is grounds for a dispute.
