Secure payment Le Bon Coin your reviews?

Hello!

Have you ever used the secure payment system from Le Bon Coin? Is it reliable?

In their description, there is definitely something off (I’m a buyer):
To sum up what they say:
The buyer deposits the money into a blocked account until they receive the package. When they receive the package, they unlock the money and the seller gets paid. Okay, that sounds good.
Then they say that if the buyer hasn’t confirmed receipt of the package after 14 days, the money is released anyway and the seller gets paid... But that seems pointless!

Did I miss something?

Thanks, have a great day!

Beware! Out of 2 sales, I have never received my money, many emails exchanged with customer service, the items were sent in September (it's January now!) and no payment or concrete response ;(

I had the same problem. Never paid for a sale that the buyer received! It's a real scam for the seller and it's impossible to contact customer service effectively.

I have the same problem, I sent a package worth €50 with secure payment. The customer received the package, but the payment is blocked by the buyer on the grounds that the sold item is non-compliant (they tell me it doesn't work while I did several tests before packing it). I think this system is unreliable because it's too easy to circumvent. The buyer takes advantage of this loophole to get an item that costs them €0. It's difficult for the seller to embark on legal proceedings when the amount is almost negligible. They give up, and this is exactly what unscrupulous buyers think.
