No. Puppies.com does not offer financing, process payments, or hold funds in escrow. All payments, deposits, and financial agreements take place directly between buyers and sellers through external, independently arranged transactions.
Since Puppies.com operates strictly as an advertising venue connecting buyers and sellers, we do not participate in or oversee monetary transactions:
-
No Payment Processing or Escrow: We never hold payments until a puppy is delivered, nor do we process deposits on behalf of sellers.
-
No Refund Assistance: Because funds are transferred outside of our platform, Puppies.com cannot assist with payment or deposit refunds if a transaction falls through.
Navigating Payment Options with Sellers:
If you have questions about payment options or financing:
-
Ask the Seller: Reach out to the seller directly using our Message Center to ask what payment methods they accept and whether they offer any payment or financing arrangements.
-
Research Payment Methods: We strongly encourage you to independently research the pros and cons of different payment types and financing options to decide what method you are comfortable using.
⚠️Protecting Yourself During a Purchase:
Whenever possible, use a payment method that offers built-in buyer protection, such as paying with a credit card through a secure checkout (Stripe, Square, Shopify, or PayPal Goods & Services). Avoid sending money through unprotected methods like Zelle, Cash App, wire transfers, or PayPal "Friends & Family."
