Does DNForum have any escrow services & what are the costs, conditions. If not are there any outside companies who do?

I guess the first answer is negative, and have you ever used escrow.com?

I am well in to the process of using Afternic.com escrow on a new purchase and it seems like a real good service thus far. Also used them last year and that one was successful and fast. This is taken from their website:

"This service will present your offer to the owner and help you negotiate the best price, even if the domain name is not listed on Afternic. You remain anonymous until an agreement is reached. After a purchase agreement is reached, you send your payment to Afternic and we do not release the funds to the seller until the domain is safely transferred to you. This DNescrow? process guarantees that you will receive the domain or a complete refund. There is a $1 fee to join the exchange."

I have offered to help setup someone in the past that would like to run a dnf escrow service, the offer still stands if someone wants to do it.

Could be a profitable partnership business if someone is interested.

DotComGod's post (and nice offer) reminded me that I forgot to say, do not rely on Afternic.com (probably escrow.com and others too) to protect you if the domain is stolen. If stolen you will likely lose all your money.

Perhaps DCG knows a way to avoid the issue?

P.S. Regarding the wordage from Afternic: "...process guarantees that you will receive the domain or a complete refund." Not too sure that is the whole story if the name is stolen?
