how do you invent domain escrow ?

Rashid – you have to go to the escrow link on Moniker, not the auction link. Yes we disburse payments as per the agreement. they can be down payments, monthly, qtrly, annual, based on certain trigger points based on the deal. Moniker holds the domain in escrow until the obligations have been fulfilled as per the agreement between buyer and seller.

The big difference here is that Moniker is an ICANN Accredited Registrar and Escrow.com is not. Moniker completes the change of ownership when the transaction is complete and releases funds to the seller, Escrow.com makes both parties handle that on their own.

We also have real live and legal agreements actually signed by both parties. These seem to have held up in courts better than electronic agreements. There are many other differences.

Both are good companies and good options to use depending on the size of the transaction and how customized.

So the seller keeps all the cash to date if the buyer defaults on a payment? Sweet deal for the seller. I wonder how much time they get before default happens.

The seller gets the payments as they are received by Escrow.com.
