Escrow with a published fee schedule.

An online escrow service holding buyer funds in licensed trust accounts until delivery and inspection terms are met, with milestone releases for staged closings. Unusually for this shelf, the fee schedule is public: 2.6 percent under $5,000 stepping down to 1.0 percent for $1M to $3M transactions with a $12,000 minimum at that tier, concierge service at roughly double, and a 3.05 percent surcharge for card or PayPal funding.

## At a Glance

Transparent, licensed, and genuinely useful below the size where closings get their own attorney-run escrow.

## What It Costs

Published fee calculator (read Aug 2026): 2.6% with a $50 minimum under $5,000, stepping down by tier to 1.0% with a $12,000 minimum at $1,000,000 to $3,000,000. Concierge roughly doubles each tier; card or PayPal funding adds 3.05%; international wires add about $25 in intermediary bank fees.

## Best For

Smaller [asset purchases](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/asset-vs-stock-sale), domain and online-business transfers, and staged buyouts where both sides want a neutral licensed holder and the deal has no closing attorney or title company already running escrow.

## Pros and Cons

- Pro: The only vendor of its kind here that publishes its full fee schedule, so the cost is known before anyone commits
- Pro: Licensed trust accounts and a track record running since 1999
- Pro: Milestone transactions support staged releases, which fits [earnout](https://searchspheresource.com/glossary/earnout)-shaped and transition-period deals
- Con: Consumer-marketplace DNA: the supported transaction types are domains, vehicles, merchandise, and services rather than an M&A-specific product
- Con: A lawyer-run closing with a lender will use the attorney's or title company's escrow, so this mostly serves deals without one
- Con: Card or PayPal funding adds 3.05%, which is real money at deal sizes
