Help Center · Buying on Gigolance

Buyer protection & the Resolution Center

Every order you place is held in escrow and backed by the Resolution Center — so your money is safe until the work is delivered and you're satisfied.

4 min read

When you pay for an order, your money doesn't go straight to the seller — it's held in escrow by Gigolance's ledger. The seller is only paid once you approve the delivery, so you're protected for the whole order.

How you're covered

Funds held in escrow

Your payment sits safely in the ledger until you accept the work — never released early.

Resolution Center

If something goes wrong, open a request to ask for a revision, an extension, or a cancellation and refund.

Instant refunds

An approved cancellation returns the order amount to your AVAILABLE Gigolance balance immediately — the checkout service fee and any tax are non-refundable — with no clearance or waiting period, ready to reuse or withdraw.

Everything on record

Your chat, the brief, and every delivery are logged with the order, so a dispute is decided on the facts.

If an order goes sideways

  1. 1

    Talk to the seller first

    Most issues are a quick message away — ask for a revision or a short extension before anything formal.

  2. 2

    Open a request

    From the order page, open the Resolution Center and choose the outcome you need: revision, extension, or cancellation.

  3. 3

    Reach a resolution

    The seller can accept, decline, or counter. If you can't agree, escalate it for a Gigolance review.

Instant, never charged twice

A refund returns the exact escrowed order amount — the checkout service fee and any tax are non-refundable — to your AVAILABLE balance the moment it's approved, with no waiting period, because the clearance window only applies to seller earnings, not buyer refunds. And since nothing is paid to the seller until you approve, there's no chasing a payment back.

Frequently asked

Only after you approve the delivery (or the auto-approval window passes). Until then the funds stay in escrow.

Instant. The moment a cancellation, dispute outcome, or refund is approved, the escrow clears and the funds appear in your available Gigolance balance — there's no clearance or waiting period for buyer refunds. You can reuse or withdraw them right away.

Open a cancellation in the Resolution Center on the order page. Once it's approved, the order amount returns to your available Gigolance balance instantly — the service fee and any tax are non-refundable.

Yes. A cancellation returns the escrowed work amount in full, but the service fee charged at checkout — and any tax — are non-refundable. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy for the full detail.
