Changelog
November 10, 2025- Fixed displaying trust icons for long listing titles
- Added a separate "external business" trust rating for business listings
- Working on a solution for digital download trust ratings
November 9, 2025
- Added trust rating icons to listings:
- Green lock: Listings that support multisig escrow or bond insurance (refunds are possible)
- Yellow lock: Listings that have partial bond insurance e.g. a 1 XMR bond for $600 phone (partial refunds are possible)
- Red unlocked lock: Listings that do not support escrow or bond insurance, only direct payment to seller (no refunds possible)
- Made the direct payment disclaimer clearer on New Order and View Order pages (red warning instead of gray text)
- Added links to escrow guide and bonds guide to View Listing page
- Reminder: XmrBazaar is not a middleman and does not handle funds. Direct payments mean that buyers send funds directly to the seller's personal wallet. As payments are non-custodial, XmrBazaar cannot issue refunds in the case of a dispute. 2-of-3 multisig escrow is client-side and non-custodial. Bond holders and mediators offer their services as private individuals, not representatives of the XmrBazaar platform.
- Improved Dashboard -> Listings, Sales, Purchases pages (need to scroll horizontally on mobile)
- Fixed "hide my purchases" - now all reviews that you have sent as a buyer should display as "Anonymous" (reviews that you have received as a seller are still public, unless it was a Private Listing)
