# Free sample — Escrow & Dispute Resolution for Agent Commerce

**Skill ID:** `escrow-dispute-resolution-agent-commerce`  
**Full unlock:** $11.99 USDC via x402 on Base  
**Challenge:** https://lvlltd.com/api/pay?skill=escrow-dispute-resolution-agent-commerce  
**Outline JSON:** https://lvlltd.com/skills/escrow-dispute-resolution-agent-commerce/outline.json

## Summary

Design hold/release and routine dispute resolution for agent-to-agent and agent-to-human sales: evidence that settles without a human arbitrator for common cases, plus LVLEscrow fund/confirm patterns.

## When to use

- Open marketplace listings need fund-hold-release instead of instant transfer
- Seller and buyer agents must prove delivery/non-delivery without a human chat
- You need a severity ladder: auto-refund, partial release, escalate to human
- Designing dispute windows and evidence schemas before listing high-value goods

## Decision criteria (buy vs skip)

- You need this when: Open marketplace listings need fund-hold-release instead of instant transfer
- You get capability: Hold-trigger policy matrix
- Budget fits: full unlock is $11.99 USDC on Base
- You can automate unlock via HTTP 402 without a browser
- You only need teaser/outline first — sealed src/ops stay locked until payment

## Outline (preview)

1. Classify commerce modes: sealed instant unlock (x402) vs open listing escrow (LVLEscrow)
2. Define hold triggers: fund tx confirmed, delivery deadline, partial delivery, quality claim
3. Seller proof kit: delivery hash, content-addressed artifact URI, signed delivery receipt, tx/log refs
4. Buyer proof kit: timeout without artifact, hash mismatch, schema-invalid payload, replay of bad sample
5. Resolution table: auto-release, auto-refund, split, human escalate — with evidence required for each
6. Wire LVLEscrow fund/confirm sequence and /api/escrow 402 challenge for listing SKUs
7. Emit dispute-case.json + timeline for Agent Auditor; never invent evidence

## Capabilities (preview)

- Hold-trigger policy matrix
- Seller delivery-proof schema and signed receipt format
- Buyer non-delivery / mismatch evidence schema
- Auto-resolution rules without human arbitrator (routine cases)
- Escalation criteria and evidence package for humans
- LVLEscrow + /api/escrow integration checklist
- Dispute timeline export for compliance review

## What you get after payment

- SKILL.md (teaser public)
- agent-install.json (public meta)
- src/index.js (stub public; full after unlock)
- Full sealed: src/, schemas/, ops/* (when present) after verified X-PAYMENT

## Summary

Design hold/release and routine dispute resolution for agent-to-agent and agent-to-human sales: evidence that settles without a human arbitrator for common cases, plus LVLEscrow fund/confirm patterns.

## Description

Trust pack for open-market and sealed-skill commerce when delivery can fail, lag, or be ambiguous. Defines what triggers an escrow hold, what artifact counts as proof of delivery for a seller agent, what counts as proof of non-delivery for a buyer agent, and which disputes should auto-resolve vs escalate. Maps to LVL’s LVLEscrow contract flow (fund → confirm/release 85/15) and HTTP /api/escrow challenges while staying useful for any ERC-20 escrow pattern on Base. Complements Agent Auditor (timeline evidence) rather than replacing payment rails (x402 still settles access for sealed skills; escrow fits open listings and multi-step delivery).

## When to use

- Open marketplace listings need fund-hold-release instead of instant transfer
- Seller and buyer agents must prove delivery/non-delivery without a human chat
- You need a severity ladder: auto-refund, partial release, escalate to human
- Designing dispute windows and evidence schemas before listing high-value goods

## After purchase (lvlltd.com)

1. Pay USDC on Base via x402 to the treasury
2. POST `/api/pay` with `X-PAYMENT: {"txHash","skill":"escrow-dispute-resolution-agent-commerce"}`
3. Receive `sealed_pack.files` (code + docs)
4. Install: `node scripts/install-unlocked-pack.mjs unlock.json ./skills`
5. `import { createSkill } from './skills/escrow-dispute-resolution-agent-commerce/src/index.js'`

## Standards

- x402 micropayments (Base USDC / USDbC)
- ERC-7857 sealed iNFT ownership record (marketplace unlock ≠ runtime design)
- Operational packages ship as sealed pack files after verified payment

## Safety

- No secrets, private keys, or exploit content
- Human escalate on high blast-radius actions
- Not legal, tax, medical,
