Default Escrow - advice needed?

I'm on the verge of a decent website sale and I was wondering what the pros and cons of using escrow were?
I know they take pretty heavy commission but it's a decent sale and I don't want any problems.
Any advice would be very useful!

If I were you, unless I know the person personally, escrow is definitely advised.

Okay, thanks. What kind of charge do they give? (presuming it's % of sale)

It really depends on the escrow service you choose. You can check this two out:

Escrow.com
Sedo

I think the escrow service payment is negligible, you can also pass it on to the seller if the seller is very keep to acquire the site.

Well my advice would be to share the escrow fee , that way u both have the comfort zone for business.

Dont be mean with your buyer.

I've used Escrow before and one of the cons is of course the fees. The pRO part is the buyer is very much protected
