Opening your next view
A hold, not a charge
Joining reserves your maximum with PayPal. Nothing is taken unless you win, and a hold you leave before the negotiation is released at once.
Trust and safety
Group buying only works if you can trust the group and the seller. These are the protections built into Maxx, what each one covers, and where our responsibility stops.

Joining reserves your maximum with PayPal. Nothing is taken unless you win, and a hold you leave before the negotiation is released at once.
You are charged the winning price, never above your maximum. The limit is enforced in code on the server and checked again before PayPal is asked to take the payment.
For orders from real sellers, Maxx pays the seller only after they ship with a tracking number. No tracking, no payout.
No address, no shipment in time, or no answer to your problem report within 24 hours: you are refunded in full to your PayPal.
Every negotiation is visible, labelled as AI, and decided by a fixed procedure. Agents cannot see who you are or spend your money.
Sellers give their trader details, confirm a payout address and certify they sell only lawful new goods. Missed commitments earn strikes; three suspend the account.
Caps on how much can be on hold, fresh identity checks for large amounts, a full audit log of every money decision, and the ability to pause all payments at once.
