# Escrow.com

A widely used escrow service for domain sales. It holds the buyer's payment until the domain is transferred and the buyer accepts it, then pays the seller.

## Why it matters

Escrow.com is a common choice for domain deals. Its domain flow has five steps: agree terms, buyer pays, seller transfers the domain, buyer accepts after inspection, and Escrow.com pays the seller. It also offers a concierge service to help move the domain. Fees are listed on its site. Many marketplaces and brokers use it. A common mistake is trusting a lookalike site sent by a stranger. Create the transaction yourself from the real website. Do not release a domain before the buyer's funds show as secured.
