Payment Options for Buyers

How to Select Your Payment Method

To select your payment method:

1. Log into your account
2. Click on “My Transactions”
3. To view the details of the transaction, hover above the transaction and click on it. When you hover above the transaction, the transaction should turn green.
4. Once the Seller has agreed to the transaction, the “Pay Now” button will appear at the top. If the Seller has not yet agreed to the transaction, then this button is not available.
5. Click on “Pay Now” and the options for wire transfer, PayPal, and/or Credit/Debit Card appear. Your payment method must be in the same individual’s name or company’s name as your Escrow.com profile.

Wire Transfer

Escrow.com accepts wire transfers from your bank, and wire transfers can be used for all transaction sizes.

Banks typically charge a fee to send a wire, and the customer is responsible for paying any fees for wiring funds. If Escrow.com sees you are sending an international wire, your invoice will automatically add an additional $25 to the account for wire transfer fees.

To see the wire transfer details for your transaction, refer to the transaction page, accessible from the transactions list.

Escrow.com accepts all incoming wire transfers, including funds coming Transferwise. However, the incoming wire transfer must match their Escrow.com name. If the incoming wire does not show the sender’s name, the sender will need to provide documentation to show proof of the original sender’s name.

Escrow.com does not accept or disburse funds from the following countries/regions.

ACH Debit

Automated Clearing House (ACH) is an electronic network for financial transactions in the United States and eliminates the need for buyers to manually arrange wire transfers.

Buyers do not have to contact or visit their bank to send their money, instead they authorize Escrow.com to arrange payment from their account.

ACH Debit pulls funds directly from the buyer’s bank account. This eliminates the need to input SWIFT or IBAN codes and ACH Debit has no additional bank fees.

Please allow 1-3 business days for the payment to process.

PayPal & Credit Card

Escrow.com currently accepts PayPal, American Express, MasterCard, and Visa. Credit cards can be accepted in US Dollars (USD), Australian Dollars (AUD), British Pound (GBP) and Euro (EUR). PayPal can only be used in US Dollars (USD) and Australian Dollars (AUD).

PayPal and Credit cards are not available if neither party has previously completed a transaction.
