Paid through PayPal checkout, straight to the seller's own account
One link to settle a deal made in a DM.
Strangers who agree a sale in a chat get stuck on who goes first. Settle Link turns the chat into one card both people confirm, paid through PayPal checkout instead of Friends and Family or a bank transfer, and keeps the record from the first message to a dispute.
Judge mode sets up eight demo deals, one at each stage plus one where the two readers disagree, with buyer and seller side by side. Nothing reaches PayPal.

How a deal goes
One record follows the deal, from the chat to the payment to a dispute.
- 1
Paste the chat
Settle Link reads a redacted copy, finds the item, price and delivery, and explains anything risky, like being asked to pay as Friends and Family.
- 2
Both confirm one card
Buyer and seller each confirm the same card. It is locked by its fingerprint; any change clears both confirmations.
- 3
Pay through PayPal checkout
The buyer pays the card's exact total to the seller's own PayPal account. Settle Link never holds the money.
- 4
Ship when the checks pass, or meet up
Payment counts only when a verified PayPal webhook and a fresh read of the order agree. A new address after payment holds the parcel. For a meet-up, PayPal holds the money until the buyer checks the item and scans the seller's code.
- 5
Answer a dispute from the record
The case file, honest advice and an evidence pack come from what happened. The seller approves the exact response; PayPal decides.
Settle Link explains warnings; it never approves a payment or a shipment. It never says a deal is protected: it shows which of PayPal's published requirements the record meets, and PayPal decides eligibility and disputes.
