Escrow.com secures the buyer's money in a safe hold account until all the transaction milestones are met and the complaints period elapses. The money is then instantly released to the seller.

Escrow.com fees are added to the agreed sale value in the amount of up to 2%, fully charged to the buyer when depositing the funds. There are no fees charged to the seller (slight fluctuation may occur if payment currency and owner's bank currency differ).
Fees are used for protecting your funds so you can safely complete transactions online with peace of mind.

For transactions up to 5.000 EUR a buyer's fee of 2.65% applies, for transactions between 5.000 and 50.000 EUR the fee is 2.4%, while transactions over 50.000 EUR result in a fee of 1.9% of the agreed amount or 1.5% for amounts over 200.000.

At such a low cost, it's a small expense compared to the risk of losing everything.
Please note that the fees are not refundable, so we recommend not to start the transaction before you make an agreement.

Escrow.com is a privately-held online escrow company that provides a secure payment and transaction management service for buyers and sellers in e-commerce and high-value online deals. They act as a neutral third party that collects funds from a buyer, holds them securely until the agreed goods or services are delivered and accepted, and then disburses the funds to the seller, helping reduce fraud and build trust in transactions where the parties do not know each other.

Formed in 1999 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Escrow.com was originally created by Fidelity National Financial and has since become one of the most established providers of online escrow services. In 2015 they were acquired by Freelancer.com, a large global freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace, which has supported growth and integration of their services.

Their platform is licensed and regulated under U.S. escrow laws in multiple states, and supports a wide range of transactions — from domains and websites to vehicles and general merchandise — by ensuring that money only changes hands once both parties are satisfied.

In practice, Escrow.com is used by online marketplaces, classifieds, domain traders, and individual buyers and sellers to add a layer of security, especially where large sums or international parties are involved. The company’s service is widely recognized, though user reviews reflect mixed experiences with process complexity and customer support response times.
