Selling & buying NFT's
A guide to Mesi's transaction models, sales thresholds, and buyer protection protocols.
The Mesi marketplace is built on a foundation of safety and stability. By using automated escrow systems and tier-based thresholds, we ensure a fair environment for both creators and collectors.
Ways to Sell
Creators can choose from three primary transaction models to move their assets.
Set a fixed price for instant purchase. Best for high-frequency assets and standard content. Initiate a competitive bidding process (7–35 days). Includes a **5-minute anti-sniping extension** to ensure fair winning bids. Label your NFT as "Open for Bids." Negotiate directly with buyers via acceptance, rejection, or counteroffers.
Sales Thresholds & Limits
To prevent market manipulation and manage platform liquidity, Mesi applies three thresholds that scale with your User Tier.
Monthly Turnover: Total effective sales volume per month. Revenue exceeding this limit is held in an escrow vault and released at a rate of 1/30 per day.
Inventory Cap: The maximum number of NFTs you can list for sale simultaneously.
Listing Value Cap: The total aggregate value of all active listings allowed at once.
The Post-Sale Lifecycle
Mesi uses a mandatory "Cooling-Off" period to protect buyers from fraudulent or infringing content.
Upon purchase, the NFT ownership is transferred to the buyer's gallery immediately. The purchase funds are held in a temporary vault while the platform audits the content for copyright or policy violations. If no issues are detected, funds are released to the seller. If a violation is found, the transaction is reversed and the buyer is refunded.
Policy Violations & Debt System
If a violation is discovered after the 48-hour cooldown, Mesi enforces a strict "Debt" recovery model to compensate the aggrieved parties.
**Debt & Payout Redirection:** If your account lacks sufficient funds to cover a post-sale refund, a "Debt" is assigned to your profile. Future revenue from any source (subscriptions, ads, etc.) will be automatically redirected to the Mesi Treasury to repay affected buyers via a FIFO (First-In, First-Out) queue.
Rights of the Original Owner
If an NFT is found to be a violation of another creator's intellectual property:
The rightful owner chooses whether to destroy the infringing NFT or transfer it to their own gallery.
The rightful owner is entitled to all historical revenue generated by the violating NFT. This amount is added to the violator's debt.
Upcoming Transaction Models
We are constantly expanding our marketplace features. The following models are currently in development:
Blind Auction
Highest hidden bid wins at the end of the duration.
Dutch Auction
Price starts high and decreases until the first buyer accepts.
NFT Swaps
Direct peer-to-peer asset trading.
Silent Sale
First bidder to meet or exceed a hidden reserve price wins.
**Account Suspension:** Mesi handles suspensions on a case-by-case basis. We often keep accounts active even during investigations to ensure subscription revenue continues to flow toward compensating victims.
