Endorsed by ebay. Used them several times and things always went well.

I agree with banning proxies.

I've used them before.

They seem to take a bigger chunk than normal but never had an issue with it.

I have used them John they are pretty good specially no one can scam you over there but one thing is the fees are kinda high though you have a option that the buyer or seller anyone can pay the fees

well it's the only safe way. Unless you're using like a marketplace on namecheap. It's good just takes a higher %. But when selling a domain or site you should ALWAYS get paid first. It's really only for buyers who want some more protection.

Well what dollars are we talking about. XX can be handled between two parties. But when offers range in the high xxx to xxxx that means someobody better be telling the truth or testing the waters can get expensive.

$xx,xxx

I don't trust Escrow.com with it.

I figure direct wire transfer payment into my account, or no deal. Just my way of looking at it, after lots of thought.

I don't agree...because it's the buyer that has just as much fear as the seller. Escrow fixes that. I wouldn't send you $xx,xxx JS just on a whim only to HOPE you do the right thing and give me the domain. However...as a seller...you want to make sure the payment is good and escrow.com does that too. They send you a cashiers check from the escrow.com account. So I feel safer about that and escrow.com has the responsibility to ensure payment is good...not me.

I have done multiple $xxxx deals with escrow.com and always been satisfied.

When dealing directly with people, sometimes trust is necessary.　If I do not trust the person, Escrow ain't going to fix that.

it gives added comfort.

When you have a good reputation in the industry i imagine you can take that position, however this definetly does not apply to most transfer situations.
