In the delivery protection model, the arbiter evaluates every transaction automatically. Only the arbiter can release funds. If the arbiter does not release, funds auto-refund to the payer after escrow expires. This is different from the marketplace model where the merchant releases funds and the arbiter only gets involved when a payer files a dispute.Documentation Index
