  • Escrow.com is used to facilitate payment: After the buyer confirms intent to buy a specific domain name on GoDaddy and if Escrow.com is selected as the preferred payment gateway, the buyer is sent a message by Escrow.com with details on how to proceed.
  • Deposit is made by the buyer: The buyer pays the money over into a non-interest bearing account and Escrow.com verifies that the payment has been received.
  • Funds are kept securely till the transaction is completed: Once the payment has been verified by Escrow.com, which can take a few days depending on payment method used, the account will show a status of “Buyer's funds secured by Escrow.com”.
  • Merchandise is delivered: Following payment verification, Escrow.com will inform the seller to initiate the account change in the buyer’s name.
  • Funds are released: Once the buyer receives the merchandise, whether it is a domain name, web hosting, security or email, the buyer contacts Escrow.com who will release the funds to the seller, less the processing fees.
