What is an escrow service?

An escrow service is an impartial, independent 3rd party transaction service that is legally licensed to hold people’s money in trust. It benefits buyers and sellers by facilitating the transfer of goods for safe payment and adds an extra level of security and convenience. We have partnered with the industry leading escrow service, i-Escrow, to provide this service to our users.

How does the i-Escrow service work?

Escrow is a tightly controlled and efficient process which allows quick and easy transactions while making it nearly impossible to commit fraud. There are five basic steps:

1. The escrow process is started by either buyer or seller linking to i-Escrow or going directly to www.iescrow.com and filling out the online form. If it’s your first time to use i-Escrow, you will have to register, which is free and only takes a moment.
2. The other party receives an email from i-Escrow requesting that they visit the i-Escrow site and acknowledge the terms of the transaction.
3. Once the transaction is acknowledged, the buyer pays i-Escrow the agreed-upon price (all forms of payment are accepted: credit card, check, wire transfer, etc.)
4. After verification of payment, i-Escrow informs the seller that payment has been received and instructs the seller to ship the merchandise directly to the buyer. To verify delivery, the seller must ship via a trackable method.
5. The buyer receives the merchandise, has an opportunity to inspect it, and logs in to i-Escrow to confirm approval or to begin the return process to the seller. If approved, i-Escrow immediately sends a check to the seller. For returns, i-Escrow waits for the seller to confirm receipt of the returned merchandise before refunding the buyer.

What are the benefits of using an escrow service?
