So, no. Escrow is not a company of crooks. On the contrary! Escrow is a trusted escrow service. <\/strong> In the event of a domain name buy-back<\/a>, it retains the funds for the buy-back amount and only releases them to the seller once a specified condition has been met.<\/p>\n In this case, the transfer and change of ownership of the domain name sold is often involved.<\/p>\n In this article, we’ll show you what it’s like to use the services of Escrow, a company based in San Francisco, USA.<\/p>\n Here’s how a domain name buyback transaction works at Escrow.<\/p>\n Both parties (buyer and seller) create a free account with Escrow. Most corporate domain name registrars, such as Solidnames, already have an account with Escrow. <\/p>\n In this step, you are reminded of the domain name, whether it is being sold with or without content, the transaction amount and currency, the maximum inspection period, and the seller’s e-mail address.<\/p>\n When creating the Escrow transaction, you must also specify who pays the Escrow.com fees. As a general rule, the buyer pays all Escrow fees. However, each party may pay 50% of the Escrow fees. More rarely, the seller may pay the Escrow fees. Fees vary according to the amount of the transaction, see below. <\/p>\n In order to pay Escrow, the buyer or his representative such as Solidnames will pay the escrow platform. This can be done via a PayPal account or bank transfer. <\/p>\n Most registrars, such as Solidnames<\/a>, use bank transfers as a means of payment. Escrow takes an average of 24 hours to pay for a domain name in euros. Escrow has a bank account in the UK, enabling them to receive funds quickly. <\/p>\n When the domain name is purchased in dollars, the transfer is made to Escrow’s American bank. As a result, the time between the issuing of the transfer by a European bank and its receipt by Escrow is longer. It takes between 3 and 5 working days. <\/p>\n In the special case where both parties use the same registrar, there can be a simple account-to-account transfer to the same registrar.<\/p>\n Many registrars allow outgoing domain name transfers to be accepted in advance. However, some major registrars do not. This is particularly true of OVH. <\/p>\n The domain name expiration date is one year longer than the previous expiration date.<\/p>\n Escrow is widely used by domain name professionals because of its low fees.<\/p>\n Escrow fees are often paid by the buyer. They are 3.25% for redemptions under $5,000. For domain name purchases between $5,000 and $25,000, the Escrow fee is 0.26% of the amount over $5,000, plus $162.50. Finally, Escrow fees for purchases over $25,000 are 0.89%, see illustration below. <\/p>\n Escrow fees for domain name redemption<\/p><\/div>\n A free Escrow fee calculator is available here<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n While Escrow is recommended for securing the purchase of a domain name, there are other solutions. In fact, the role of third-party escrow agent is fulfilled by the main platforms for buying and selling domain names<\/a>. Afternic and Dan (both part of the GoDaddy group) or Sedo include this escrow service as a specialized platform for the secondary domain name market. <\/p>\n Finally, a domain name purchase\/sale contract is also possible between the transferor and the transferee.<\/p>\n Finally, there is the special case of NFT domain names such as .ETH<\/a>.
