Held until you confirm receipt.
Escrow holds your money between paying and receiving. Awazon runs standard 2 of 3 multisig.
You fund the order, the vendor ships, you confirm receipt, and the coin releases. If you never confirm, the order auto-finalises after a set window. Each vendor page shows a deal count and a dispute ratio, so read both before you order.
Confirming receipt before the package arrives, finalising early, releases the coin and removes the dispute path. New vendors cannot finalise early until they have run clean orders. Never finalise early on an unproven vendor.
