    Hi guys.
    I have a question that I hope you can help me about it.
    I'm going to sell my site in here : flippa.com/2828774-top-health-medicine-psychology-site-pr4-2yrs-old-14000-indexed-pages-by-google


    now, my question is which way is more secure for me to accept money from buyer?
    Escrow.com?
    Credit Card?
    PayPal?


    I don't want to give my database and info to buyer, he take a copy of my files for himself and then he cancel his buying. is this possible? for example if I accept paypal, can he cancel his payment after a few days ?


    escrow.com will charge about 75$ for transaction plus 40$ to send money to my bank account (i'm outside of us). seems a lot. is it really worth?. can I receive money via paypal after buyer send it to escrow.com ?? Do you ever user used escrow.com???:)

    after buyer sent money to escrow.com , should i send files to buyer directly or I'll send files to escrow.com and they'll give files to buyer?
    how if buyer received files, he took a copy for himself and then he said it's not what he wanted? how escrow protect against such behaviors?

    Have your buyer send me the the money :) I will donate it to the needy :D God will bless you.. your Good Karma will level up.

    Escrow will not refund his money just on his word that he never got it. This is escrow, not PayPal... they won't immediately side with the buyer and screw the seller over. Escrow is set up to protect both parties, not just the buyer.

    Once Escrow has secured the payment from the buyer, you want to transfer everything over to the buyer and then let Escrow know that it's been done. Now the buyer will have to confirm that everything has been transferred over, and once that's done, Escrow releases the money to you.

    Of the three you mentioned, definitely Escrow. Read the details on their web site as to how they operate exactly and you'll get the exact picture.

    $115 for the escrow cost ? so your domain should worth at least twice of this cost to be profitable using escrow.

    As most have said, i'd also have to agree that Escrow is your best option.

    Other than getting the funds sent via a non refundable solution such as Western Union or MoneyGram, though you will need to provide real details to the buyer obviously.

    Escrow is the popular choice. I haven’t heard a complaint about fraud. You are sure to be totally secure when you go with escrow.

    I recommend to use Escrow for security reasons. Especially if the amount of money you receive in much. Escrow fee indeed quite large, but balanced with the services they provide.

    escrow is no doubt safest.if their fee is too much for you,you can ask buyer to share escrow charges
