Pause before payment when the row still has missing proof, vague options or poor shipping value.
Hold Before Payment is for the shipping stage, where a good product can become a bad buy if weight, packaging or route limits are ignored. Estimate actual weight, volume weight, box choice and route suitability before submitting a parcel.
Use this page before paying when the buyer feels pressure to continue but one key detail is missing. Holding is useful when option, proof, price or shipping value is not clear enough.
Write the reason for holding in one line, such as missing size proof, stale seller page, unclear color, heavy package or price change. Then choose what would make the row safe.
| Signal | What to check | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | Actual or volume weight is reasonable for the item. | Estimate cost. |
| Route | Product type is allowed on the chosen line. | Avoid restricted routes. |
| Packaging | Box, protection and fragile risks are understood. | Add parcel note. |
| US value | Final delivered value is still worth the order. | Ship or hold. |
Skip it after payment has already happened. At that point use warehouse review, return/exchange or before-shipping checks.
Do not judge value by product price alone. Heavy jackets, shoe boxes and bulky packaging can erase the savings, especially when the buyer combines items without checking parcel weight first.
Use these links when the product has a specific next step. The goal is to keep each saved item easy to verify before payment or shipping.
