The Safe Way To Buy and Sell Domain Names Online

Ensuring Buyers get the Domain and Sellers get paid.

“Whether you’re buying or selling domain names online, Escrow.com is a name you can trust. Escrow.com is a government licensed and audited 3rd party that safely holds a Buyer’s payment in a trust account until the entire transaction is complete. That way, Buyers can be confident the domain will be registered in their name and Sellers can be sure they’ll be paid.”

Escrow.com protects your money and your domain.

“Since the Buyer pays Escrow.com and not the Seller, Escrow.com can withhold payment until it’s satisfied the domain name has been transferred by the Seller. One of the ways Escrow.com does this is by checking the WHOIS database of the appropriate Registrar* to make certain it properly reflects the new Buyer’s name as the domain name Registrant. Once this has been verified, Escrow.com releases payment to the Seller.”
