Getting paid: Escrow.com vs marketplace built-in
Closing a direct sale? The payment rail changes your risk and fee.
Options
— Escrow.com: gold standard for direct/private deals, holds funds + manages transfer. ~$25 floor fee.
— Marketplace checkout (Dan/Afternic): escrow baked in, smoother for the buyer, commission instead of flat fee.
— Wire/PayPal direct: cheapest, highest risk, chargeback exposure on PayPal.
Tradeoff
— Flat escrow fee wins on big deals; marketplace commission only wins if it brought the buyer.
📌 Pick of the day: for any direct 4-figure+ sale, Escrow.com. The flat fee is trivial against the protection.
