With the recent changes at Escrow/com asking for extensive ID and other photo verification which domain escrow services are you likely to use in the future, and why?
I used it minimally even before...
Sedo was always primary for me...
Not cheapest, but TRUE (in terms of security) and the most comfortable escrow...I've sold domains listed on Sedo before, but never used their escrow service.
How would you rate it as to ease of use and price?
The only one significant minus at Sedo - lack of API to integrate it on other platforms...
I have used both SEDO and Escrow and have had good experiences with both. In reference to the change you mention, are they also requiring photo ID from the buyer? If this is the case, it would be a serious obstacle to completing sales.

Get your own merchant account.
True.A merchant account is still dealing with credit cards which can be vulnerable to a chargeback.
One of the great things about Escrow/com is that once the payment is verified and collected you never have to worry about that again.
Certainly, you may use their Concierge to avoid such scenario... but it abnormally costs a few times higher than regular commission.With escrow.com we can get a scenario when the domain was pushed/transferred and not confirmed (and WHOIS was also not changed OR changed to 3rd-party contacts)... So no domain and no money for you.
If your domains are listed on Sedo and you sell them through a direct email negotiation, you'll still have to pay 10-15% of the sale price in fees.Please note: If you reach an agreement outside of our marketplace and the domain is also listed on Sedo's marketplace, then the same commission shall be charged as for sales on the domain marketplace.
We can't choose to not have concierge at Sedo.Compare Escrow.com's Concierge commission vs Sedo 3% (where such "concierge" is by default and at no fee)...
