If you have been burned by “pay the invoice, hope for the best” outreach, a wallet marketplace feels different on purpose. Money moves in stages. That is the whole point.
Here is the plain version of how SEOLinkBuildings handles euros: top up, reserve at checkout, release on approval, refund when a case is upheld. The legal detail lives on the refund policy page — this article is the practical walkthrough.
Everything runs in a EUR wallet
Balances are in euros. You add funds first, then pay for placements from that balance. You are not typing a card number into every order.
Typical top-up paths:
- Card via Stripe — fast when available for your account
- Bank transfer — credited after we confirm receipt
New advertisers often see a welcome credit. Treat it as purchasing power for placements under the current rules. It is not a cash gift you can withdraw.
Checkout reserves money. It does not tip the publisher yet.
When you place an order, the amount is reserved from your wallet. The publisher is only credited after the placement is approved:
- you approve the live URL, or
- the order auto-approves about 72 hours after the live URL is submitted if you stay silent
That gap exists so you can ask for a fix. Use it. Open the order chat, write what is wrong, and request a revision while the funds are still reserved.
What a refund usually means here
“Refund” on this platform usually means wallet credit, not an instant bank reversal of every top-up. That keeps the marketplace accounting clean and lets you redeploy the budget on another site.
Common cases:
- Publisher cannot deliver — we review; wallet credit may return
- Order cancelled under the rules — reserved money goes back to the wallet
- Upheld link-removal dispute — order amount can return to your wallet (see the link removal guide)
Promotional bonus credit is different: spend-only, not cashable. Pricing and fee context sit on pricing; edge cases are in the FAQ and refund policy.
How to request a review without wasting a week
- Open the order conversation.
- Include the order ID, live URL (if any), and what failed.
- Screenshots help when an attribute or anchor changed.
- Wait for the review outcome before you assume the money is gone forever.
If you want the click-path for funding and checkout, the advertiser guide covers Add Funds and cart payment step by step.
A simple mental model
Think of the wallet as a project budget. Top up once. Buy placements as you approve content. Let reservation protect you between payment and live URL. Ask for a review when delivery breaks the deal.
That is less exciting than “instant SEO,” and more survivable when something goes wrong. Create an account, fund a small balance, and run one clean order before you scale.
Frequently asked questions
Do you store my card details?
No. Card payments go through Stripe. Card numbers do not sit on SEOLinkBuildings servers.
Can I cash out the welcome bonus?
No. Welcome bonus credit is promotional and spend-only. It is not withdrawable as cash and is not refundable as cash.
When does the publisher receive money?
After the placement is approved — either by you, or automatically about 72 hours after the live URL is submitted if you do not respond or request changes.
If a refund is upheld, where does the money go?
Back to your wallet as spendable credit you can use on another placement, according to the refund policy for that case.
