    Transaction initiated August 11, 2025 I am filing this complaint regarding my recent transaction as a seller through Escrow.com.On August 27, 2025, my shipment was delivered and signed for by the buyer **** tracking 1ZTBH1604207605834).Despite proof of delivery, the buyer has not acknowledged receipt in the escrow system.I contacted Escrow.com multiple times, but their representatives continue to state there is no set timeline for the buyer to respond and no plan to release the funds.This leaves me, the seller, in limbo with no protection, even though I fulfilled my obligation and provided proof of delivery.An escrow service is supposed to protect both parties, but in this case, Escrow.com is allowing the buyer to remain unresponsive indefinitely while withholding my funds.I am requesting the BBBs assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring Escrow.com either:Releases the funds to me as the seller, or Clearly defines and enforces a reasonable timeframe for releasing funds when a buyer fails to respond.Thank you for your attention.

    Dear ****** ***,
    Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your concerns with us. We understand your frustration regarding the release of funds after your shipment was delivered.
    At Escrow.com, the buyer is required to confi rm receipt within the inspection period that is set for the transaction. In your case, the inspection period was one day. If the buyer does not take action within that timeframe, the item is deemed accepted, and the transaction can be closed accordingly.
    We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Your experience highlights the importance of providing clearer communication around inspection periods and the steps we take when buyers are unresponsive. We are reviewing our processes to ensure customers are better informed moving forward.
    After reviewing your transaction, we are pleased to confi rm that the transaction has since then been completed and that the payment has been successfully disbursed to your account. An email confi rmation of this disbursement was sent to your registered address.
    If there is anything further we can assist you with, please dont hesitate to reach out. Our team is here to help ensure your future transactions run smoothly.

    I paid Escrow.com to hold the funds for a vehicle purchase. I am the buyer. Escrow.com is not supposed to release the funds to the seller until I state that I accept the vehicle, OR the Inspection period expires. The vehicle arrived with many issues. Within the inspection period, I notified Escrow.com that the vehicle has problems and that I need to extend the Inspection period. They said that I simply need to send an email stating that the seller and I agreed to extend the inspection period. So I sent the email and cc'd the seller on that email. This email contained a thread where they could see that the seller agreed to the extension. Now, Escrow.com is stating that they cannot extend the Inspection period and are going to pay the Seller. I find this to be completely against what they are supposed to be doing. They are supposed to be protecting me from getting stuck with a bad car, but they did the exact opposite ! What I'm seeking is for them to do their job and allow me to return the vehicle to the seller and then give me my money back. Thank you.

    Dear ***** ****,
    Thank you for your feedback and for sharing these details with us so we could review your case promptly.
    We understand your concerns regarding the inspection period and the handling of your transaction. At Escrow.com, we highly value the security of both buyer and seller, and in some cases this means requesting confi rmation from both parties before adjustments to the transaction can be fi nalized.
    We want to assure you that our intention is never to disadvantage either party, but rather to ensure that any updates to the transaction terms are fully agreed upon and securely documented. This sometimes requires additional steps, which can understandably cause frustration. This also highlights the importance of preparing the transaction to avoid any possible issue.
    After reviewing your case further, we understand that this has been fully resolved and that the payment has been disbursed to the seller.
    If you have any further questions or need additional support, please dont hesitate to reach out. Were here to help and ensure your experience is as smooth as possible.

    Complaint: 23793057

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The seller (which is NOT the merchant) and I (the buyer) negotiated offline and settled on a $1,000 price reduction for the vehicle sale.   The seller and I then informed the merchant of this development.   I then agreed (with the merchant) to withdraw my BBB complaint after the seller was paid his $6,250 for the vehicle and I was refunded the $1,000 price reduction.   

    I NEVER RECEIVED ANY INDICATION FROM ESCROW.COM THAT I HAD RECEIVED THE $1,000 REFUND.

    I have been checking the escrow.com website and EVEN TO THIS DAY, the transaction is still showing as "IN DISPUTE".    Please see screenshot attached, which was just taken.

    THEN, I just now checked my banking account and see that the $1,000 refund HAD BEEN MADE on 8/27/25.

    Why has there been no notification sent to me that the refund was processed ?   Why does the escrow.com website still show the transaction as being "IN DISPUTE" and not closed ?   Please note that the "IN DISPUTE" status reflects the transaction BETWEEN THE SELLER AND I,  and NOT that I have an open BBB complaint against the merchant.

    In conclusion, this ongoing, continuing INCOMPETENCE on escrow.com's part is clear and disturbing.

    WHAT I WANT BEFORE I CAN WITHDRAW THE BBB COMPLAINT:

    Escrow.com needs to mark the transaction between the seller and I as completed and CLOSED.   THEN, I will will withdraw my BBB complaint.

    Thank you.

    Dear ***** ****,
    Thank you for sharing these details with us and giving us the opportunity to review what happened.
    Were sorry for the confusion caused by not receiving a refund notifi cation and by the transaction continuing to show as In Dispute on your Escrow.com account. We realize how this could have been frustrating, and we appreciate you raising it so we could take a closer look.
    To clarify, the $1,000 refund was successfully processed on August 27, 2025, and those funds have been returned to your bank account. In addition, the transaction has now been marked as closed in our system, and this status should be refl ected in your transaction details as well.
    We regret that the website display did not update in real time and that you did not receive confi rmation of the refund at the time it was issued. We are reviewing this internally to ensure that updates and notifi cations are clearer moving forward.
    If you still notice any discrepancies when reviewing your account, please dont hesitate to contact us directly so we can verify and provide confi rmation immediately. Were here to ensure you have complete confi dence in the status of your transaction.

    This company has held onto my money far in excess of that as advertised. For example, they took three business days to verify my payment, and have asked for ever more onerous and ridiculous proofs that this transaction is not fake. The seller has been very patient, but I am furious by the many requests for more and more documentation.I am buying a used motorcycle, which was delivered to me via the local Indian dealer, who is completing repairs on it. escrow.com now wants a Bill of Lading for a motorcycle that was driven 20 miles to the dealer. There is no such thing. They delay, delay, and delay. They should be banned from doing business,I am a disabled American Veteran who has been volunteering in ******* to help out with abandoned animals, and I believe this is the reason they are discriminating against me. My brother-in-law is taking delivery of the motorcycle for me, and I have already paid thousands of dollar to the dealer for necessary repairs. And yet, escrow.com refuses to pay the seller the money I transferred from my ************ account. The source of my funds comes from my military pension and Social Security. But escrow.com treats me like a criminal. They are the absolute worst.

    feedback and will be reviewing this case internally to see how we can streamline similar transactions in the
    future without compromising security.

    I just had a terrible experience with them. No amount of information was enough for them so after 1 hour of demanding that they cancel the escrow contract *** A finally did. Yet, they didn't return the $600 ****** payment denying that they received it, yet ****** shows it as a completed payment. Watch out. Find another solution.

    Dear ******* ****,
    Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how concerning it can be when payment
    issues arise, and we appreciate the opportunity to address this with you.
    Weve carefully reviewed the details of your transaction and can confirm that it was canceled per your
    request. At the time of cancellation, the payment had not yet appeared on our end, which is why we were
    unable to process a refund immediately. A few hours after your initial contact, the payment did reflect in our
    system. However, by that time, a dispute had already been filed through the payment processor, which
    added additional steps and complexity to the resolution process.
    We remain committed to assisting you and we are pleased to confirm that the refund has now been
    completed.
    We understand this experience was not what you expected, and we truly appreciate your patience and
    cooperation throughout. If theres anything more we can assist you with, please dont hesitate to reach out.

    I am rejecting this response because:
    You are playing games with words. Its disgusting.  ****** payments are seen the moment that they are sent and received.  There is not a delay.  Not even a one second delay.  I showed the representative at your company a copy of ******* website showing that it was paid to you and that the payment was completed.  It then shouldve been recognized that you had my money while the representative claimed that you didnt.  Your representative tried to bump it up a level, but everybody ignored the representative evidently.   You did not listen to your customer nor did you care about what they said.  Initiative shouldve been taken to look at that image proving payment and giving a proper response instead of We didnt receive money from you.  To say that you didnt have the money or that it didnt show up until after the dispute came in is lie. I do not appreciate it and it is insulting.  

    Do some research and reflection yourself and give me an acceptable answer.  You have harmed me, Wasted my time, Lied to me before and lied to me again now.  

    Originally, I didnt need an apology. I just wanted my money back. Now I deserve an apology for you dressing this up to make yourself look good perhaps to the BBB. 

    Do what is right.

    Horrible service! I turned over my vehicle to the buyer on 04/18. ***** confirmed receipt and accepted vehicle same day. The transaction took another week to be closed on 04/25. Today is 05/02, No disbursement has been to me. I called and was notified the buyers billing address was wrong. Why does that matter? We have both fulfilled our end of the deal. Where is my money? They keep giving you excuses about documents they and they need one more day to transfer the money. They have over complicated a simple process and are doing something sketchy to keep your money.

    Dear ***** ******,

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand how frustrating delays can be, especially after all steps in the transaction have been completed.

    In this case, the disbursement did not proceed immediately due to a necessary clarification related to the transaction details. While the delay was not intentional, some reviews can occasionally take additional time to complete before a disbursement can move forward.

    Were pleased to confirm that the matter has now been resolved, and your disbursement is ready for processing.

    We truly appreciate your patience and understanding. If theres anything further we can assist you with, please dont hesitate to reach out.

    I opened a transaction to purchase a domain name on February 2, 2025. I wired the funds on February 3rd from my personal account. The funds were deducted from my account and I was charged a wire fee from my bank. It will be 5 days tomorrow that Escrow.com says they cannot research or validate the funds were sent. Meanwhile I am out over $3,000 in my checking account and ******************** has the never to tell me they can only research my wire if I provide them a wire payment receipt number. Well Escrow.com, my bank **************** only provides confirmation numbers and the funds were sent to ********, a US bank so the funds are there and I was charged the fee. I have called multiple times to try to address and the most recent conversation the customer service representative hung up on me. This is absolutely a joke. I would not ever do business with this company or service again. Not only have I wasted multiple hours of my time to complete, no one at this company is willing to help me. It's been 4 days and a wire gets processed the SAME DAY! Where are my funds and why haven't you secured them and processed my transaction. I have now had to call in and request that they change it to Debit to pay but now I don't want to even do that.

    To help ensure that your transaction is processed smoothly, we sometimes require additional payment confi rmation from your bank. Were happy to review any details you can provide so we can escalate this further if needed.
    After reviewing your case, were pleased to confi rm that the funds have already been successfully secured, and we are moving forward with your transaction. Our team is actively monitoring your transaction, and if you need any further assistance, were here to help.
    We appreciate your patience, and were here to ensure everything is completed smoothly for you.

    I used Escrow.com to conduct a transaction in which I sold a product to a buyer. The buyer provided payment through Escrow.com, and I shipped the item to the buyer, valued at about $3,000. Escrow.com then cancelled the transaction, stating that I shipped the product before they authorized me to. I shipped the product in the time frame agreed upon between myself and the buyer. The buyer and I both reached out to Escrow.com and expressed our desire to complete the transaction. Despite escrow.com holding the buyers money, and despite the fact that I have relinquished the product to the buyer, and despite our desires to move forward, Escrow.com cancelled the transaction. This puts me, the seller, in a particularly difficult situation, as I have not been paid AND I no longer have my product. I expressed this to Escrow.com and they told me to settle this outside of Escrow.com. The customer service has been abhorrent and this feels like very unreasonable business practices.

    Business Response

    Date: 02/12/2025

    Dear ******** *****,
    Thank you for reaching out regarding your experience. We understand how important it is for transactions to be processed smoothly and securely. However, Escrow.com operates strictly within regulatory guidelines, and transactions must adhere to our platforms terms of service to ensure compliance and security for all parties involved.
    In this case, the transaction was canceled because it did not meet the necessary requirements for an escrow transaction. Escrow.com is not a payment platform; rather, we facilitate secure escrow services, where funds are held and only disbursed when all conditions are met. Unfortunately, shipping an item before the transaction was authorized does not align with our escrow process.
    Since the transaction was voided, any resolution regarding the shipped item would need to be handled directly between the buyer and seller. While we regret any inconvenience this may have caused, our policies are in place to maintain security and compliance.
    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

    Sold car on **** using escrow.com as a service for the transaction and the title transfer. Car was shipped to the buyer and he accepted the transaction authorizing escrow.com to release the funds on 11/25/2024. Received emails confirming the payment from escrow.com even apologizing for the delay. As of 12/12/24 I still have not been paid.

    Do NOT use escrow.com!!! I used escrow.com to facilitate the purchase of a sprinter van in another state. I was using escrow.com to assist with wiring money to the seller and the vehicle title transfer only. Per their posted policy, it would take 1 to 2 business days for the title to be overnighted to me (the buyer) and for the funds to be wired to the seller. Two business days after the completion of all online requirements per escrow.com, I received an additional email asking for confirmation of delivery which I immediately provided without receiving a response. When I had not received the title or appropriate communication, I called. That is when I learned that escrow.com intends to hold the title and payment for an undefined amount of time "for further investigation and review" which they admit "is not stated or published anywhere in their policies". Additionally, during this phone call, escrow.com insisted they had never received the vehicle title and I ultimately had to prove (via their prior written confirmation) that escrow.com had previously received the title. As of now, I still do NOT have the vehicle title (per the refusal of escrow.com), payment has not been released to the seller by escrow.com, and escrow.com refuses to confirm when the title and funds will be released from this secret, undisclosed review.
