Payment

Accepted payment methods, escrow handling and invoicing rules.

Last updated: 2026-08-01

Payment methods

We accept bank transfer (SEPA and SWIFT) and, for selected transactions, letters of credit. Card payments may be available for deposits. Cash payments are not accepted.

Escrow and payment on delivery

Funds are held on a segregated escrow account and released to the seller only after the machine has been delivered and the return window has passed without a valid claim. This is how our money-back guarantee is secured.

Deposits and deadlines

A deposit of up to 10% of the purchase price may be requested to reserve a machine. The balance is due within 5 business days of invoice unless otherwise agreed. Bank charges are borne by the payer.

Invoicing and VAT

Invoices are issued electronically. VAT is charged according to the delivery destination and the buyer's VAT status; intra-EU and export deliveries can be zero-rated where valid documentation and a VAT number are provided.

Compliance checks

Payments are subject to sanctions and anti-money-laundering screening. We may request beneficial-ownership information and may decline or reverse transactions that fail these checks.

Why MachYard

Used iron, bought with new-machine certainty

Fully inspected machines

Every listing is checked on site by our technicians: 200+ photos, walkaround video and a functional test report you can read before you bid.

Delivered to your jobsite

We arrange loading, customs paperwork and transport. Our calculator estimates freight up front and we carry the risk in transit.

5-day money-back window

Put the machine to work. If it doesn't match the inspection report, send it back within five days and we refund the full amount.

Pay on delivery

Approved buyers pay once the machine reaches the yard. No deposit, no escrow paperwork, no wire before the wheels arrive.

Easy & safe transactions

Buy heavy equipment as easily as a car

From inspection to payment, every step is designed to remove the risk from buying and selling used machinery across borders.

01

Inspect before you buy

Every machine gets a 200-point inspection report, walkaround video and live video call so you know exactly what you are paying for.

02

Pay on delivery

No deposits or escrow. Approved buyers pay once the machine is unloaded at their yard. We handle the invoice, VAT and export paperwork.

03

Protected after arrival

Run it for five working days. If anything deviates from the report, we arrange collection and refund the full purchase price.
