Duraescrow.com?

Anyone ever use this escrow service? I'm trying to buy some mirrors for the BMW and the seller wants to use this instead of Paypal. I have no issues with new ways to pay. I just haven't heard of this service/company. What's weird is I get very little by way of results when doing a google search.

Thanks

I wonder if Charley has any feedback?

That site looks sketchy. You will have to submit your banking info. I have used escrow.com with good results fwiw.

If a seller won’t use PayPal goods and services I would bail. Huge red flag for me.

Well, escrow in general isn't bad. I found that there are legitimate escrow sites. This one, not so much. Here's a quick rundown of what stood out to me as wrong.

The site is fairly bare bones. Financial institutions have ridiculous rules and regulations. These don't appear on there.
They reference the regulations they are supposedly bound by but in general, not with specifics.
They reference a different escrow site in a detail section. This escrow site doesn't exist. The domain is available for purchase.
Their social media links aren't to their specific profiles which also don't exist.
They show a map of the world on one screen declaring they serve the world. The one drop pin is in north central Africa and is labeled London
Their partner logos, Visa, etc, aren't good quality.
Lastly, they have no Google presence. I don't know about you, but I always get lots of results from a Google search. I got maybe 3 pages searching for their name. Most are direct links to their site.

I could be wrong, but I'm walking away.

Be safe out there, everyone.

Thanks
