Another option for domain name escrow services.
There are lots of options for domain name escrow services. One I just became aware of is Transpact.com based in the UK.
Two things make Transpact interesting: its location and low fees.
The company (Transpact is actually the trading name for Anpa Forward Ltd) is based in the UK and specializes in pound and euro transactions.
It’s fees are also low and not based on a percentage of the transaction.
The company charges £2.99 per party for (GB) Pound transactions or €3.49 each for Euro transactions, and $24.99 per party for US dollar transactions. That’s for transactions up to £10,000 / €15,000.
I always recommend doing your due diligence before selecting an escrow company. Transpact works with some large web companies such as AutoTrader UK and is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the United Kingdom. Still, I don’t have first hand experience.
Any readers have experiences with Transpact?

I used Transpact.com to buy an €x,xxx .com domain name.
Fantastic service, and a great price.
What I really liked though, was the way that I was able to hand craft the conditions which protected me for the transaction. It took a bit of work (and you must make sure you get it right), but I was totally protected and safe.
The speed of payment was outstanding (next day payment into my bank account).

Hi,
I want to sell a domain via this process any chance you could ping me a copy of your agreement with details removed of course?
Cheers,
Andy

Liz – your post reads like a puff promo piece rather than a genuine response. Do you work for them?
