Im all for Escrow, 100 percent.. But it has been known for vendors to get scammed. It totally sucks, especially when you are dealing with a high ticket item. I experimented. I had two prices, one totally within escrow and one FE.. Of course the FE price was cheaer and the in escrow had limits. But I gave them a choice. You would think that this squashed the issue.. Not even close, I was reported to DPR many times because people thought I demanded FE and was a scammer.. Didn't take brain surgeon to look and see that I wasn't... So now, when I vend, I will keep it in escrow but as buyers know, that they would never have an issue with me. As with most honest vendors, but still I like escrow, its there to protect both parties. I just wish we lived in a perfect world where everyone is honest.
