Escrow Process Step‑by‑Step: From Agreement to Payment Release
How Escrow Works · Escrows Click

Step 1 — Agreement#

Buyer and seller agree on the asset, price, delivery method, and inspection period. Both parties sign up and create a deal at escrows.click with all terms in writing.

Step 2 — Deal locked#

The deal moves to "awaiting funding." Both parties can see the locked terms; neither can change them unilaterally.

Step 3 — Buyer funds escrow#

Buyer sends the deal price + 2% fee in USDT (TRC20, ERC20, BEP20) or BTC to the escrow address shown inside their authenticated deal page. Funds are confirmed on-chain by our admin team.

Step 4 — Seller delivers#

Once funding is verified, the seller is notified and delivers the asset using the agreed method.

Step 5 — Inspection window#

Buyer has the inspection period (typically 24 hours, longer for domains) to verify the delivery matches the agreement.

Step 6 — Release#

Buyer confirms delivery. The deal price releases to the seller's payout wallet. The 2% fee is retained as the service fee. If the buyer disputes, the deal moves to mediation and funds stay locked until resolution.

Escrows Click holds funds in a neutral wallet, verifies delivery, and only releases payment when both parties are satisfied. Start a deal in two minutes at escrows.click.
