Has somebody had a experience with the escrow service?
I'm so afraid that something goes wrong...

First I would not trust becuase the site is not as it seems.

What I mean is it's a frame. Actually this is a real lazy way to do it without transfering all your files. The Main frame is actually http://www.tradesecure-eu.com but the target is acutually http://banana.catalyst2.com/~john2003/esc/

Then I look at things like the VERISIGN Seal. Typically when you click it, it brings up a Verisign Site with information about the site you clicked it on. But this one only brings up http://verisign.com . That is fishy too.

I looked at the payment info (after creating an account and logging in.) http://banana.catalyst2.com/~john2003/esc/pay.php So i need to send/make a money transfer to ITALY? Based on the whois info ( http://samspade.org/t/lookat?a=tradesecure-eu.com ) the company is Out of New York. And why would I do a money transfer to an INDIVIDUAL and NOT the COMPANY.

Validating the WHOIS info on the registration.... The phone number 607 6276859 checked at http://anywho.com/qry/wp_rl (reverse lookup) comes back to a Marla Campbell, and although the site is registered to a Todd Campbell, I doubt that he is aware of it.

And finally, in the whois info ( http://samspade.org/t/lookat?a=tradesecure-eu.com ) the "CREATION DATE" still gives me doubts. Even though it's been since March of 2004. I think it's still too new to be a Legit Company. Either way.. I would not trust it and neither should you.

If you still have doubts then insist on using a service such as http://escrow.com and offer to pay ALL the fees. They will likely have an excuse like a bad experience. If they do agree to use escrow.com, then it's a small price to pay for your safety/security.

Good luck. Please keep us posted on how it works out.

Thanks,
Site Admin

Dear Sir,

For security I preffer an escrow service to handle this transaction.

An escrow service acts like a third party in the deal. It's the safest
way to make a transaction on-line. I start a transaction and then I
deposit the agreed sum at escrow, including the shipping costs. When you
have the confirmation from escrow company that the funds have been
received, you will ship the package to my adress. I will have a period
of inspection of the unit of one business day, after which the escrow
company redirects the money to you by cashiers cheque or bank transfer.

Let me know if this is OK with you so I initiate the escrow transaction.
