Held until you confirm receipt.
Escrow holds your money between paying and receiving. Crown runs standard 2 of 3 multisig.
You fund the order, the vendor ships, you confirm receipt, and the coin releases. Vendor profiles show a deal count and a dispute ratio up top, so the standard one-minute read gives you a clear picture on a market with a smaller vendor base.
Confirming receipt before the package arrives releases the coin and removes the dispute path. Never finalise early on an unproven vendor.
