Moniker vs Sedo vs Escrow.com vs ???

[bobbarato]

Hello All,

I'd like to get feedback from people who have used any of these services recently for escrow on domain name sales.

I am primarily concerned about responsiveness and reliability. I'd also be interested how long the process took for you to get paid.

I have not used any of them before and right now my *opinion* is:

1. Moniker
2. Sedo
(close 1st/2nd)

<distance>

3. Escrow

I've heard good things about Moneybookers - they strike me as a Euro-centric firm (not making a value judgement and I am in the US. How about them? Any others?

And yes, I know about this sticky post

I use Moniker all the time.

Thanks for your reply OwnType.

I forgot to include in my original post, if the seller splits the escrow fee 50/50 with the buyer or pays 100% of the fee, will the escrow company just take that out of the money going to the seller?

For me escrow.com is by far the best.

Yes, seller won't have to pay in advance.

I have recently used escrow.com for a domain name purchase around $5k and I was very satisfied with them.

Our domain escrow service supplies both parties with all the legal documentation to complete any kind of domain transactions including outright purchases, leases, lease or monthly payments, etc.
