SAN FRANCISCO, April 27, 2021

Today, Escrow.com launched its service to all eBay users who are buying or selling luxury watches valued at $10,000 USD or more. Now, anyone looking to buy or sell such high-end watches on eBay Watches can shop and sell with added convenience of having funds held in escrow until the buyer receives and accepts the watch.

This formidable partnership expands the payment options available to luxury watch enthusiasts for a smooth and streamlined experience, by improving the buying and selling experience.

Jackson Elsegood, General Manager of Escrow.com, says, “Buying a luxury watch is an exciting, once in a lifetime experience. Which is why Escrow.com has partnered with eBay Watches to offer online buyers the ultimate added assurance: getting to hold the watch in your own hands, knowing it is authentic, before your funds are released.”

eBay Watches is a long-time leader in the luxury watch space and offers a wide selection, including top brands, rare pieces, and more. On average, the site features more than 150,000 live listings every day. In 2019, over 2 million watches were sold through eBay Watches, and 8 million were sold between 2017 and 2019.
