7-Day Transaction Process Guide

Last updated: October 19, 2025

Buying and Selling a Vending Location

Everything you need to know about how it works

steps

Step-by-Step UI:

Buyers and sellers see each step required to successfully complete a transaction.

cc hold

Credit Card Hold:

When a buyer purchases a location, a hold is placed on their credit card—but it won’t be charged immediately.

intro buyer to manager

4-Day Seller Action Window:

Sellers must introduce the buyer to the property manager within 4 days and set the appointment date/time that was approved by both parties. If they don’t complete this action within 4 days, the transaction is automatically canceled, and the buyer’s card is never charged.

The appointment date must be within 6 days of purchase. Otherwise, the order should be canceled and repurchased closer to the appointment date.

finalize order

Buyer Review Period:

Once introduced, buyers must:

  1. Meet with the property manager and reach an agreement

  2. Finalize the order to complete the transaction

The maximum time to finalize or cancel the order is 7 days from purchase. If no action is taken, the order automatically finalizes. When an order is finalized, the buyer's card gets charged.

request refund

Full Refund Flexibility:

At any time during the 7-day period, either the buyer or seller can cancel the order for a full refund as long as they provide a valid reason to cancel. Valid reasons include:

  • Inaccurate listing description
  • Inability to reach agreement with the property manager
finalize

Finalization & Payment:

After the order is finalized, the buyer's card is charged and payment is released to the seller (after a 14-day holding period). Then both parties can leave a review.

order complete

Order completed!

Once an order is finalized, it cannot be refunded. It's important to note that if the order isn’t finalized or canceled within 7 days from purchase, the transaction is automatically finalized, and no refunds will be available.

I bought a location, but it wasn't a fit. I got a full refund - no questions asked. Just as advertised!

Everyone at vending village was exceptional! I couldn't come to an agreement with the location I had purchased and they refunded my money effortlessly.
