  "Scam? You can count on us! We will back you up if there is an issue, if any." This isn't the most reassuring statement I've ever seen.

    Hi there, we do our best to validate and verify users on our platform, we can’t guarantee that all tickets are valid at this moment. However, in case there is a dispute, we will do our best to investigate and once it's confirmed a scam (with sufficient proof) we will prohibit the scammer user from using our platform and also issue the party at loss a full refund by queueIn.

      (since you're the founder, you may want to add 'Show HN:' to the post title) well, now I'm curious - within a p2p marketplace, risk only exists for sellers. if a buyer is 'scammed' (i.e. seller does not deliver) they can issue a chargeback - though the procedure with digital goods can get annoying. no equivalent process exists for sellers. what kind of protection do you offer sellers?

        Thanks for the tips, appreciated! In most cases, buyers are considered more vulnerable since they pay money upfront. However we do offer the same protection for sellers as well. First we will ban the scammer user. And then we will help the seller contact the venue/event organizer to void his/her tickets so that the other party can't make use of them. Next step will be try to get the seller new tickets (usually in this case will be will-call pick up) or issue seller the full amount of the face value of the tickets.
