I won an auction on here for $400. The guy listed these 3 payment methods, plus Escrow.com, as acceptable. The seller chose Escrow.com for me, and Escrow.com wanted to charge me a $12 payment fee that (I guess) I was supposed to know I would be on the hook for somehow because Escrow was listed as a payment method on the listing? So I went to pay this, but then they wanted an ID scan and other documents. I have an account with Escrow.com and I've purchased through them before, so it's not like I'm a stranger. I just bought something on eBay for $400 and Paypal took my money no problem, done in 10 seconds. Never interrupted the process to ask for anything extra. I don't think Escrow.com asked for this info a year ago or whenever I last used them. I don't know what makes Escrow.com feel entitled to harvest my personal info over $400. So I'm hoping one of these other 3 services is less shady and doesn't collect this info. Does anyone know?
