Epik announces Escrow service

[GoWebnames.com]

Saw this in my facebook feed today: http://www.epik.com/services/escrow/

Can they be trusted?
Any recent EPIK (of INTRUST infamy) service experience to share?

Set up an account first, then get on chat, email or PM @RL and ask for the NamePros Domainers Special

$8.10 .com -> new registrations / transfers / renewals

If you already have an Epik.com account and would like to be added to this special price group, simply PM me, or email us and we'll get that taken care of for you.

Just set up a new account using the affiliate link and tested a new reg.

Says $10 for new reg.

$8.34 for transfer.

 

[usernamex]

OK fixed, seems special has to be requested after account setup

 

[TDM]

yep request via chat or pm epik here.. they set you up then -> worked perfectly for me

I see Master Bucks is a separate co.

Do you have to reg a separate account at Master/bucks/com to use Epik's escrow service?

 

[Cdomains]

I see a box checked in the domain profiles section that says "make private".

Do domain regs at Epik come with free privacy?

 

[biggie]

i see u can put money in, to exchange for the bucks, but how do you exchange the bucks, for cash withdrawal?


imo...

You just go to masterbucks.com to withdraw funds

Yes, they offer privacy for free.

If funds are disbursed, then the fee depends on the transaction size and the payment method that was used. It is never more than 5%. For a wire transaction, it is 1.5%, and can be even lower for a large transaction.

There's a bunch of specific examples in the previous pages, you might just read from beginning to find the examples that are closest to the method you're looking for.

So you have to register for a Masterbucks account separately from Epik?

 

[korganian]

So you have to register for a Masterbucks account separately from Epik?

No. You just have your epik account open and then when you go to masterbucks.com it automatically logs you in. It just uses your same login info as you use for your Epik account.

This is posted at Epik's escrow page-

How Epik Domain Escrow Works

1. Both parties enter into a new escrow transaction.
2. Buyer sends payment to Epik's Masterbucks Escrow account
3. Seller provides authorization code to Epik.
4. Seller approves Form of Authorization to confirm transfer.
5. Epik verifies that all payments from buyer are received in escrow, and all domains from seller are received in escrow.
6. Epik simultaneously transfers all assets to complete the transaction: domain ownership is transferred to buyer's Epik account while funds are simultaneously released to seller's Masterbucks account

As to number 3 "Seller provides authorization code to Epik"

What if the domain is still under the 60 lock?

Does anyone know if you can still do the transaction using Epik escrow?

How does this work?

Is there a way to handle this once the escrow is started with the form?

 

[Cdomains]

No. You just have your epik account open and then when you go to masterbucks.com it automatically logs you in. It just uses your same login info as you use for your Epik account.

When I go to master/buckscom when logged in to Epik it still says to register for an account.

Does this only work if you have funds at Masterbucks or if you have a domain transaction happening?

Masterbucks work for me (autologin), balance: 0

Yes inside my epik account it shows 0 balance too.

This does not work for me.

Does this work for you?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

For me it works (autologin) on masterbucks.com

Clear all your cookies and cache... and restart your browser... then try again...

Thanks, already thought of that and tried it.

Still doesn't work.

Ask Epik if your account is really activated...
Maybe, some confirmation via email is needed... or some time to propagate on masterbucks.com

Account is definitely activated and I have already been on chat about getting the NP reg and transfer prices which did not work when I set up the account using the affiliate link in one of the other Epik threads.

I will try again soon and see if there is a change.

Thanks.

What if the domain is still under the 60 lock at another registrar?

Can you still use Epik escrow without the auth code and just do a push between registrar accounts?

They ask for the auth code in the form when you start the escrow.

How does this work?

Is there a way to handle this once the escrow is started with the form?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

I think, it is just a general/common explanation...
Via message in form you can remark that only push is available, and that's all.

I wonder if all fields in the form are required.

They do ask for the auth code.

That is why I was wondering if a push is possible if the domain is still locked and the auth code can't be used.

I don't see any AUTH-code field in this form...
