The Benefits of Using Escrow.com for IPv4 Sales
Benefits for Buyers
There are plenty of opportunities to buy and Sell IPv4 blocks online. From ISPs, telecoms, and other corporate entities that require more IPv4 addresses. However, the vast majority of IPV4 sales and transfers take place between organizations and individuals who do not know each other. This presents an obvious risk, and this is why so many people choose Escrow.com to help offer certain protections for these types of transactions.
- The most trusted, licensed online escrow service in the world
- The funds are securely held in trust until the transfer is complete.
- Both parties and Whois are verified prior to starting and closing the escrow.
- Buyers get a smooth, easy online transaction with a fully licensed escrow service.
- Buyers are protected from non-delivery and promptly refunded in that event, as opposed to having to go through a tedious dispute resolution process.
Benefits for Sellers
Selling IPv4s can be a lucrative business opportunity. That is, as long as you protect yourself from the obvious risks of dealing with unknown Buyers online. IPv4s are sold by individuals, companies, universities, and other organizations that may have an excess of IPv4 address space. The most important part of the process is ensuring you get paid once the addresses have been transferred. Add to this, the fact that on average, a block cannot be transferred for a further two years (depending on the RIR); you quickly see why sellers need to ensure they are dealing with legitimate Buyers.
- Both parties and Whois are verified prior to starting and closing the escrow.
- Escrow.com confirms good funds before the Seller starts the transfer process
- Once the transfer is confirmed, the funds are then released to the Seller.
- Sellers get a smooth and easy online transaction with a fully licensed escrow service.
- Sellers are paid in a timely manner, once the addresses are transferred.
- There is no risk of having a payment recalled arbitrarily.
Regardless of which side of the transaction you are on, Escrow.com can help you get a secure and straightforward transfer process.
Escrow.com Vs. Brokers Acting as Escrow Agents
This scenario is common, and when both parties trust or know the broker well enough, they often assume this is the most effective way to handle the transfer and payment for the sale of the IPv4. However, it is not always possible for brokers to legally act as escrow agents, and without the backing that a licensed escrow agent provides, the security of those funds cannot be guaranteed.
