Pros & Cons

Pros

Escrow-style protection holds funds until the transaction is confirmed complete
Massive, highly active Trustpilot base (2,935+ reviews, 94% five-star) with 1,392 reviews in the last 12 months alone
Deep, purpose-built catalog covering ship melts/upgrades, aUEC, and Star Citizen account sales in one place
Long operating history in the Star Citizen community with a reputation as the go-to third-party ship trading hub

Cons

A small number of orders have taken close to a full day to process during peak demand
First-time buyers have reported feeling uneasy during the standard grace/escrow period before funds release
Pricing tracks the notoriously volatile real-money Star Citizen ship market, so values can shift between browsing and checkout

Before You Order From a Marketplace

Check the specific seller's or listing's own rating on the marketplace, not just the platform's overall score.
Start with a smaller order before committing to a large purchase, especially with a new seller.
Use the platform's built-in payment and dispute process rather than moving off-platform.
Keep records of the listing, price and any chat communication until the order is confirmed complete.

These points describe what to check with any marketplace; they are not claims about Star Hangar's specific policies. Scores are editorial assessments (see Our Review Process) and are compared only with vendors reviewed on MMODude.
