Secure payments, insured delivery, and hassle-free returns

Payment Protection with Escrow

  • When you submit a purchase request, your payment is held securely in escrow. The seller only receives the funds after you’ve inspected the bike and confirmed it matches the listing. This ensures you pay only when you’re satisfied.

Insured Delivery, Hassle Free

  • Once the seller accepts your request (within 48 hours), they schedule a pickup date directly on Bikeflip. After receiving the official Bikeflip Shipping Box and packing the bike securely, our partner courier collects it and delivers it to your door, fully insured from start to finish.

48-Hour Quality Check

  • After the bike arrives, you have 48 hours to inspect it. Confirm it’s as described, or report any issues directly from the Purchases & Sales section of your account.

Simple Returns if Needed

  • If a problem arises, Bikeflip coordinates with the seller to find a fair solution. If a return is necessary, we arrange the pickup, handle logistics, and issue a full refund—no extra cost, no hassle.

Direct Communication with the Seller

  • Use Bikeflip’s integrated chat to ask questions, clarify details, or resolve concerns at any point in the process.

Built-in Process for Offers and Transaction

  • Bikeflip provides a seamless, integrated system for accepting offers, making purchase requests, and completing transactions—all directly within the platform.

Note: the entire process takes place exclusively within the Bikeflip website or app.


In summary, Bikeflip Secure Payment takes the guesswork out of buying and selling bikes online. By safeguarding funds, organizing insured shipments, offering return support, and ensuring transparent communication, Bikeflip delivers a smooth, trustworthy experience for all.
