Who pays the escrow fee?+
By default the buyer pays. Either party can be assigned at setup, and split fees can be arranged before funding.
What happens in a dispute?+
Funds stay held while a neutral escrow analyst reviews the case file, evidence, and agreed timeline before any release.
How fast is payout after approval?+
Most approved payouts are processed promptly. International transfers may take 1–3 business days depending on the banking corridor.
Which payment methods are supported?+
Available funding and payout methods are confirmed by the analyst for the parties and region before the deal begins.
When should the seller deliver?+
The seller should deliver only after the analyst has confirmed that the buyer's funds are secured in escrow.
Can the terms change after funding?+
Changes require agreement from both parties and confirmation by the analyst. The original terms remain active until the change is accepted.
