Escrow Guide
Using escrow for domain purchases.
Escrow and established marketplace providers can give buyers and sellers a structured process for payment and transfer.
What Escrow Does
An escrow provider typically holds buyer funds while the agreed transfer steps are completed. The exact process, release conditions, fees, and timing depend on the provider and transaction terms.
Choosing a Path
Some domains may already have a preferred buy-now, marketplace, or escrow path. If not, the buyer and seller can discuss a provider that fits the domain, price, jurisdiction, and payment method.
Before You Commit
Confirm the domain, price, fees, payment deadline, transfer steps, and release conditions in writing through the selected provider before sending funds.
