How does Escrow work?

Using Escrow could not be easier. All you need to know is the following steps:

  • The buyer completes the transaction, which is shown in the sale completion area. At this point the buyer can choose Escrow as their preferred payment method for future transactions.
  • Once the payment is verified, the seller will deliver the merchandise to the buyer. Escrow.com will verify that the Buyer has received the merchandise.
