Serah — Neither of You Goes First
An Indonesian project proposing simultaneous settlement for private sales between strangers.
Field notes
Serah frames private selling as a sequencing problem rather than a question of personal honesty. Its example uses a used camera priced at four million rupiah and compares shipping first, paying first, meeting in person, and splitting the payment. The proposed alternative is simultaneous settlement, but the page does not show a transaction interface or operational process. It also draws firm boundaries around the idea: Serah says it holds no funds, takes no custody of goods, verifies no item, and settles no disputes.
