How buyer protection works on the Marketplace
Energywallet Team30 September 20261 min read
Every Marketplace order is protected from checkout until you confirm you've received the item you ordered.
When you pay
The item price, service fee and VAT are held securely by Energywallet. The delivery fee goes to whoever delivers your order.
While you wait
Track your order in the app as it moves from paid to processing to delivered.
When it's delivered
You have 24 hours to check your item:
- Everything matches the listing? Tap Confirm receipt, and the payment is released to the vendor.
- Something's wrong? Tap Raise a dispute. Our support team works with you and the vendor while your payment stays held.
- Do nothing? When 24 hours pass without a dispute, the payment is released to the vendor automatically.
What's covered
Buyer protection covers receiving the exact item you saw and paid for. It's there to make sure what arrives matches the listing.
