Escrow.com Reviews Summary

Escrow.com garners mixed feedback from customers, highlighting both commendable service and significant concerns. Positive experiences often emphasize the professionalism and helpfulness of customer support, particularly during complex transactions, which many users found reassuring. However, a recurring theme in negative reviews points to frustrating delays in fund transfers and a lack of transparency regarding fees and processes. Customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the handling of refunds and the perceived incompetence in managing transactions. Overall, while some users appreciate the service for its protective measures, others warn of potential complications and inefficiencies.

Underwhelming
October 30, 2019

For the purchase of a $250 website, the process was arduous and clumsy. It took several days for both parties to do what should have been acomplished in a few clicks. There are websites that allow you to buy and sell a house in less time.

Now that I own the website, it won't load... says it can't find the server? The seller won't respond to my questions and finding help on Shopify (other than paying an expert) seems just as slow.

I'm thankful I only spent a couple hundred dollars, I think Shopify has a long way to go to be turnkey.

Have used escrow.com a number of times for domain name sales and their support is always exceptional (Jay is always extremely responsive) and the process is always incredibly smooth. Just finished another transaction with them and it got done in just a few days. Will continue to use going forward!

I just sold my domain using Concierge. Couldn't have been easier. The toughest part was dealing with Network Solutions to remove the blocks they put a *every* step. But, aside from that, Concierge received the funds, waited the Network Solutions-imposed three day wait and the following day my money was in the bank. Easy.

When I made a deal with a seller to purchase a domain name for a sum that was quite large. I was nervous about the process. I was also nervous of being defrauded. The seller suggested escrow.com, and after some brief research, I agreed. Now having completed the transaction, I'm so happy we elected to use escrow.com. Not only did they protect me (and the seller too, making sure the payment was made and verifying my identity extensively), but they also made sure everything worked out after the sale was made. Their responses are quick and their team is very knowledgeable. For the work they do, I'm surprised their rates are so low. Thank you escrow.com. I will be sure to continue using and recommending you in the future.

The whole process is unclear, you never know what is the next step and sometimes receive conflicting information/requests. Everything is done by email with no global view of completed steps and steps to come. That was very stressful at times. Thankfully I knew escrow by hearsay and had a good image of the company, because the whole thing looked very unprofessional especially for a service handling sums of money. In France, to speak of what I know best, we are used to streamlined processes with professional looking interfaces when dealing with that kind of transactions. If needed I work in a UX company (PwC Experience Center) and this is our job. Would be happy to help on designing a better experience.

Fine transaction. However I was told the transaction was done, but my domain never showed up at godaddy. Had to contact them and find out why.

Also I could not use my normal domain provider, and had to use godaddy. Now the domain is locked for 60days which they did not tell me. That is a serious issue now.

Perfect Experience
October 2, 2019

We had a complex transaction for an important domain -- we decided to go for the concierge service and could not be happier. Just took the entire guesswork and stress out of the transaction. Loved it and will definitely work with them again.

I waited literally less than a minute to reach a customer service representative. Worked through the issue in no time. The customer service rep even waited on the phone while I was struggling to upload my banking details. Overall, a very positive experience!

Legit and Simple to Use
September 17, 2019

Bought a domain name using Escrow.com. Everything went pretty smoothly. I paid for the concierge service and they sent the domain right to our GoDaddy account. Would highly recommend. Saved us about $5500 in fees vs buying the name directly from GoDaddy.

Single transaction was handled quickly and effectively. The only suggestion I'd make is to call out next steps/followup in bold or something so that it's easier to notice.
