I think everyone can agree in time this will be profitable if the doors stay open long enough time will take care of it self and this will prove to be a good venture as well as profitable.

The right partnerships and alignment with the right companies will come. This is something that will snowball.

I think the only reason EscrowDNS performs just 100-150 transactions per month is that too few domainers are aware of it, and that it hasn't yet reached popular acclaim. More domainers should use it. I've so far completed 3 EscrowDNS transactions (in the middle of a 4th currently) and I see no reason for choosing any other Escrow service, so long as the buyer doesn't insist on one. And none of my buyers thus far have expressed the slightest qualm about my choice of EscrowDNS for facilitating the exchange.

In my first transaction, the buyer would only agree to choose cashier's check as his payment method, despite that EscrowDNS encouraged him to do otherwise. The envelope containing the check got bounced the first time (because of an incompetent postman apparently), and EscrowDNS immediately called up the buyer to arrange for him to overnight the check and attach tracking to its envelope. The overnight parcel arrived the next day and payment was disbursed to me a couple of hours later. I was very pleased with EscrowDNS' personal touch all the way through, including expressing to me several times during the processs that they understood my frustration at the buyer's insistence on paying via cashier's check.

My third EscrowDNS transaction started on a Friday afternoon and was completed that Friday evening. Just 4 hours from start to finish. Presumably that buyer used PayPal to send funds. I don't even think Chuck Norris could escrow faster than that.

We should spread word of EscrowDNS everywhere we cyber-travel to help Justin & team stay in business.

The only suggestion I'd like to make is that EscrowDNS reps. sign their e-mails with their actual names rather than "EscrowDNS support." It feels less awkward to address a person than a company, plus providing verifiable identities would likely boost EscrowDNS's trust in the eyes of buyers.

Can't find the answers in faq, what's required for paypal and credit card authorization and how does it usually take, thanks

As long as we receive a COMPLETED authorization form it takes only minutes to approve. The problem is that people do not read the forms and send them back incomplete.

The authorization forms are located in your account once you select the payment method or you can email support and they will also send you the forms.

Future looks bright Rock. Wrote up a new wiki bio documenting your inevitable success in this venture (modified version of John D's) :)

Rockefeller was an American domainer and philanthropist. He revolutionized the domain industry and redefined the structure of modern philanthropy. In 2008, he founded EscrowDNS and ran it until he officially retired in 2009. Rockefeller kept his all his stock in the company and as domains grew in importance, his wealth soared and he became the world's richest man and first American trillionaire. He is often regarded as the richest person in history.

Yeah - appreciate that but has he got an iota of international savvy? And no; he's not the world's richest person. Does he have FSA mandate? Maybe you're too far inside his back passage?

The fee was raised for transactions up to $5,000 and the payment fees were taken away so there are no payment fees when sending payment on top of an escrow fee. We were forced to do this by the credit card processors.

So the total fee is a flat 7% rate for all transactions up to $5,000 ?

EscrowDNS is temporarily ceasing operation of it's domain name escrow service. Any outstanding transactions will be completed as always, no new transactions will be allowed. Several states have vague or modified escrow laws for Internet companies offering escrow services. For this reason, we will be closing our doors temporarily until all permits and surety bonds are in place. We have strived since the beginning to stand out as a domain name escrow service that cared about your transactions and I feel we have accomplished that mission thus far. When we re-launch we will have a completely new site design with added features and will offer our first month "escrow fee free." In the meantime, we recommend that you use www.Escrow.com for your domain name escrow transactions. They offer a reliable service and prompt customer support. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support.
