Epik is redefining Escrow

[Dream Domains]

We just learned that Epik does not charge escrow fee if transaction gets cancelled.

We used Escrow.com before and were charged full escrow fee when the seller decided to walk away from the transaction. So we lost money.

Epik escrow eliminates this risk.

Take notice!

Is Epik a licensed escrow provider like Escrow.com?

Do they have the relevant state licenses in each state they do business?

It is important? I never noticed that, I think escrow just need to be trustable is ok.

In my view, it is important for a number of reasons. An escrow company with state licenses has far more rules, regulations, and consumer protections in place.

There is certainly a far higher bar to be licensed as an escrow company than just say you are an escrow company.

Many states require escrow agents to be licensed.
Also, some states regulate how the term "escrow" is used in commerce in that state.

There is a big difference between being a licensed escrow company and being an "escrow" company.

We don't know but paying a full fee for a cancelled transaction is double upsetting.

I agree with that. It is kind of ridiculous Escrow.com keeps the escrow fee in that situation.

Marketplace transaction, not escrow. Doesn’t the same thing happen with name silo, godaddy, dynadot with their marketplace transactions? With a true escrow buyers can transfer to the registrar of their choice.

Epik accredited registrar, probably think other registrars should be accredited.

But with escrow, now accreditation not important?

Safest and most secure escrow, for both the buyer and the seller, is Epik. The list of complaints with other escrow companies is long and deep. You just won't find those complaints with Epik.

Not an accredited escrow no matter how many times you repeat it, still just a marketplace transaction. I’ve noticed whenever I see big sales it’s usually thru escrow.com. Big boys I guess see the value of using an actual accredited escrow and not forcing a buyer to a registrar they might not want to use, which could hurt sales.

Escrow.com - buyer can use any registrar they choose

Epik marketplace transaction - only Epik

The choice is yours. I prefer companies that focus on customer service and innovation over companies that use back hand tactics to attempt to take out competition. Again, the choice is yours.

Most of us aren't 'big boys'. My 'little boy' experience with selling through Epik was almost 'scary', they make it so easy and fast in comparison. And unless I missed it, I haven't come across a story yet where Epik stuck someone who was selling through them.

Which doesn’t change the fact it’s who the big boys use, anybody, even smaller transactions.

You skipped over the other points brought up, care to tackle them?

You think it could help or hurt a sale by giving a buyer only 1 registrar option?

Do you think they should be accredited?

Do you understand the difference between marketplace transaction and an actual escrow?

Would you buy your domains at a registrar that wasn’t accredited?

I find it intriguing that you only post on threads that involve @Rob Monster and/or Epik. I can't help but think that you are Escrow.com.

I find it more intriguing you post in every Epik thread trying to defend stuff that doesn’t hold up. In the escrow thread itself, you were posting more than rob on the subject as if you were an Epik spokesman.i saw an actual lawyer in thread explaining stuff.

Do you want to tackle the points or just divert? I brought up 4 relevant, on topic questions, tackle them.

I like discussion, you will find me on many subjects.

In regards to Epik and Rob, I like what they are doing. I find the openness and engagement by Rob to be exemplary. Simple as that.

If you like discussion, then actually discuss, start with the 4 questions I posted. Something deeper than I like rob, that’s obvious. Your posts come across as more running interference type posts, diversion.

.....You think it could help or hurt a sale by giving a buyer only 1 registrar option?......

That is an excellent point. for example, if a buyer knows before giving a firm offer or late in the process he cannot transfer to Godaddy (as most of them want to do in my experience) who is comfortable with and trusts GD and already uses GD for other domains he could become negative and possibly not buy it.

Yawn... You sure are beating a dead horse here. You obviously have a hidden agenda.

Escrow.com is not secure at all. You can buy a stolen domain using them and they won't even do anything about it. Give me a break.

Epik.com is slam dunk more secure when they require the domain to be registered with them. Rob is also doing more to help domain investors than anyone else is by a mile.

You just skipped the questions as well. It’s another I like rob post. So who has the agenda here? All 4 questions are legit and on topic. Why the struggle to answer them?
