How It Works

From search to handshake.

Each step of your purchase is clear, secure, and supported by our platform.

  1. Inquire

    Find a horse, verify funds, and start a Deal Room.

  2. Negotiate

    Talk through price and terms with the seller in the Deal Room.

  3. Inspect

    Set up visits and pre-purchase exams (PPE).

  4. Agree

    Confirm the final price and lock in sale terms.

  5. Secure Payment

    Complete checkout. Funds are held safely and not sent yet.

  6. Receive

    Coordinate hauling, confirm safe arrival, and release funds.

Funds only move when
everyone is ready.

Our payment protection keeps money on platform until the buyer confirms receipt and the seller confirms handoff. Every transaction has a clear timeline, and our US-based support team can help at each step if something goes wrong.

Airbnb-Style Protection

Keep everything on-platform.
For your protection.

Equimeta protects buyers and sellers by keeping messages and payments on platform, not in texts, email, or social apps. Seller contact details are shared only after payment is secured. This helps stop wire fraud, scams, and off-platform disputes early.

  • Seller phone & email protected until payment is confirmed
  • Messages are checked for off-platform contact info
  • Real-time warnings when a message may contain a phone, email, or social handle
  • All deal messages are saved and ready for disputes
  • Accounts can be restricted for policy violations

Complete Financial Transparency

Pricing is clear. A 3% buyer fee plus a 3% seller fee covers payment protection, processing, and dispute support. Agent commissions are shown on each listing. No hidden charges, and money is held safely until delivery.

Buyer pays +3%
Seller receives −3%

Contact Released After Payment

Like leading booking platforms, direct contact details are released only after payment is confirmed. This helps protect both sides during each stage of the deal.
