Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!I've always used Escrow.com, but on paper Moniker's escrow looks superior
on a number of points. However, with all the "issues" that now surround
Moniker, sans Monte, I suspect there's problems with their escrow as well ?
Any recent Moniker escrow experiences to share ?
I was on the receiving end of an escrow about a month ago.
Seemed to go okay but not sure why I had to jump through so many hoops to get payment, even after the transaction closed.
Also, end-user buyer just initiated an escrow not more than about three hours ago.
Because they were unfamiliar with the process, I gave them escrow.com, escrowDNS.com, and Moniker.com escrow to look at and choose they would be most happy with. They selected Moniker.

Thanks for the info.Originally Posted by Doc Com
Appreciated.
May I ask a few followups ?
What type of 'hoops' were required to get payment ?
Did you need to contact anyone at Moniker ? If so, timely response ?
Did you have to take full payment in one disbursement, or could you
have left some funds at Moniker for other usages ?
Is it possible to specify multiple disbursements (presumably with multiple
fees) of the funds to separate recipients ?
Thanks and cheers.
Those are all very good questions.
You are going to need to file a w-9 form for taxes (US citizen) and even after all of that is done, you still have to wait a few days for them to release the funds. There were some quirky log-in to the account type stuff to request payment.
As for all the other questions, I am sure Moniker can (perhaps) answer those questions for you.

What a ****in waste of time!
This from my buyer:
Ya, we just discovered Moniker.com does not serve California!
We are going to try again with Escrow.com.
Yesterday, these are the messages received:
Hi Gerry.
After a little research, I think we'll prefer Moniker.com's escrow service as they seem specialized for this type of transfer.
If you could please confirm that we are good to go, I will open up the escrow account.
Hi Gerry.
OK, we've created the escrow account... Moniker.com says we have to wait for them to contact us. We'll let you know as soon as we have word.
Two days wasted!

Has anyone used them recently?
The payment plan option looks fantastic, if I understand it correctly there is no minimum transaction amount (as opposed to Escrow.com's $75,000 minimum)
Is it possible to leave the proceeds in your Moniker account?
Are there any other escrow options that accept smaller transactions that include installments ($X,XXX to low $XX,XXX total)?
