I need to find an escrow.com UK equivalent for a new purchase.

Anyone used these guys before - trustedfriend/com

Or is there another UK escrow that you can recommend that doesn't rip you off in charges?

Has anyone used a UK escrow service? Surely someone has...?

Hi Canny

Great stuff thanks.

I also found moneybookers.com who are FSA regulated (check any firm using : fsa.gov.uk/register/firmSearchForm.do )

They charge 1% which is also fine for the sake of having a UK company handle everything.

So at least there's 2 choices now

Hi TW,

Last time I checked, MoneyBookers.com only offered escrow for sale of goods and not for sale of services, such as domain transfer.

Has that changed ?

Moneybookers do domain transfers and I would use them over that TrustedFriend site which looks like it was knocked together in about 5 minutes!

Or just use sedo for 3%, still pretty cheap.

That was my feeling - the site really is not very professional despite other assurances.

Moneybookers.com state "Merchandise" - which I could argue a domain is... it might not be a physical product, but in the form of a transaction it most definitely is merchandise if it needs to be!!!

SEDO - at 3% no chance... with their min. transfer fee and the extra money they seem to be making on parked domains at my expense, I woudl only use them if i had no other choice.

Also 1% and 3% of £xx,xxx are very different amounts - at least a good night or two out anyways !

Cheers guys.

Namedrive have acted as an escrow for me in the past, it all went smoothly.
