How does Escrow.com protect Buyers and Sellers?

Both the Buyer and the Seller benefit from using Escrow.com to monitor and transact the exchange of the payment for each transaction. Escrow.com verifies the Buyer's and Seller's information, protecting both parties from fraudulent users. We hold onto funds while the goods move, the services are completed, and both the Buyer and Seller are satisfied with their transaction.

Buyers

Without Escrow.com, the Buyer would be at risk of losing all their funds. The Buyer is given the opportunity to inspect the vehicle before Escrow.com releases the funds to the Seller. The Seller isn't paid until the Buyer accepts the vehicle, or the agreed-upon inspection period expires. If there is an issue with your purchase, you can return the vehicle to the Seller and have your funds returned to you from your escrow account subject to the terms of the General Escrow Instructions.

Sellers

The Seller is notified to ship the vehicle after Escrow.com verifies the Buyer's funds. After the Seller provides their tracking information, Escrow.com verifies the delivery of a trackable vehicle to the Buyer. Escrow.com ensures that the Seller receives their funds once the vehicle is delivered to the Buyer. The Seller is also protected from any unexpected chargebacks.
