Though I haven’t tried the service, this guys say the system works simply.
You have to identify what you want to buy from an online seller who would have a BlackPay account number or create one really quick, then the buyer deposits the cash into their escrow account then BlackPay will notify the seller to ship the item to the buyer and after verification log onto your BlackPay transaction dashboard and authorize payment to the seller.
