Escrow service: your safety when buying machines online

Used machines worth €20,000, €50,000 or €100,000 are regularly bought online today — often between people who never meet.

How escrow works in practice

Buyer and seller agree on price and conditions. The buyer then transfers the purchase price not directly to the seller, but to a separate escrow account. We transport. After a 14-day inspection period we release the funds.

When is escrow worthwhile?

• For a blind purchase (no on-site inspection)
• For deals between private individuals
• For international purchases
• For amounts from roughly €5,000

What does it cost?

The escrow fee depends on the value of the goods. For most transactions it is 1 – 2 %.
