What if the seller is a fraudster and doesnt deliver? That is why it is in the interest of bolanle to pay via middletrust
No, Middletrust is offering safety to both parties and making the seller more trustworthy.
Middletrust is a registered escrow company with our information published on the Corporate Affairs Commission and FIRS database and they have made a business that revolves around protecting people's money. If they protect a cash belonging to a hundred thousand Nigerians everyday, this generates steady revenue for them as a business,because they charge you a fee for any payment made through their platform.

If bolanle can pay to middletrust, why can't she pay the seller directly? So middletrust is only changing the sellers policy of no refunds? Why didn't the seller change that himself? Also, why would the seller even trust middletrust?

A comparism was make with the escrow aspect of Fivver and not the E-commerce.
Middletrust is a Fintech company(Financial technology) not an Ecommerce company.

Honestly, until Middletrust becomes a household name, people will dispute the credibility. So for now customers should do whatever it takes to verify the authenticity of the companies they come in contact with. Google is always available. A 5 minutes thorough check will give you an idea if a company is who they claim to be or not.
