No other payment methods are accepted, including cash, mailed check, or electronic check.Once the order of your Transaction has been completed by you in the Platform and you have been verified, we will provide you with appropriate details to complete a local bank transfer to our bank account.
We will make sure the money is being sent directly from your own Turkish bank account in Turkey. If the payment is sent from someone else’s bank account, we will not accept it and we will refund the funds to the bank account from which the transfer was initiated and your Transaction will be considered unfunded.
