Where is my money kept until I get my purchase?

Gumtree have partnered with TradeSafe (a subsidiary of Standard Bank) to provide our payment facility as well as the escrow functionality that will hold the money in a safe central location while the trade is in progress. The funds for the purchase will only be released to the seller once the appropriate exchanges have taken place and both parties are happy to conclude the trade.
