How Escrow Protects You in Online High-Value Purchases
The internet has opened up a world of buying and selling opportunities, but it has also brought increased risks, especially when dealing with high-value items like classic cars, art, or even domain names. How can you confidently make a significant purchase from someone you've never met, potentially across the globe? This is where online escrow services become an invaluable tool.
For online high-value purchases, an escrow service works by holding the buyer's payment securely until the goods are delivered and the buyer has had a chance to inspect them and confirm they meet the agreed-upon condition. Only after the buyer's approval are the funds released to the seller. This process shields the buyer from non-delivery or misrepresented items and assures the seller that payment is secured once their obligations are met. It's an essential safeguard that enables trust in otherwise risky online transactions.
