What is EscrowApp?
EscrowApp is a P2P online escrow service for private sales. It holds the buyer's payment via Stripe until the item arrives as described, then releases funds to the seller. Processing fees range from 3.8% to 4.4% — no monthly fee, no minimum transaction size.
- Who uses it?
- Anyone buying or selling on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, or any private deal
- How does payment work?
- Buyer pays into Stripe escrow → seller ships → buyer confirms receipt → funds released
- What does it cost?
- Buyer: 3.8%–4.4% all-inclusive (by transaction size). Seller: $1.99 flat per transaction. No subscription.
The problem we solve
Every day, good people get burned on both sides.
Sent $800 for an iPhone. It never arrived.
Shipped the laptop. They claimed it never got there.
The TV looked perfect in photos. Reality was very different.
"As is, no returns." — and nothing you can do about it.
Money goes into escrow. Nobody gets it until you confirm.
Seller declares the item's condition. You accept it as a contract.
You check each characteristic when it arrives. Photo evidence required.
Everything matches → funds release instantly. Problem? Dispute that specific point.
The process
Simple. Secure. Settled.
From agreeing on a deal to releasing funds — every step documented and protected.
Agree on the deal
Find your buyer or seller on any platform — Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, or anywhere else. Agree on price and item details.
Create the digital contract
The seller creates the transaction on EscrowApp in under 3 minutes: declares 6 product characteristics that become a binding digital contract.
Buyer pays into escrow
The buyer reviews the declared characteristics and pays securely via Stripe. Funds are held in escrow — the seller cannot touch them yet.
Seller ships with proof
The seller ships with tracking, photographs the package, and uploads the tracking number. For in-person trades, both parties confirm the meetup.
Confirm & release funds
The buyer checks each declared characteristic one by one. Everything matches → one tap releases funds instantly. Something off → a focused dispute opens.
Who it's for
Built for every side of every deal.
Buy anything. Worry about nothing.
You found something you want. The price is right. But you've been burned before — or you know someone who has. EscrowApp changes the equation completely.
Your money never goes to the seller until you say so
You pay into escrow. The seller gets nothing until you confirm the item arrived exactly as described.
Structured process to check what you received
The reception checklist walks you through every declared characteristic — no vague impressions, just facts.
Fair disputes, not gut feelings
If something doesn't match, a focused dispute opens on that specific point. Not the whole transaction.
Perfect for buyers who
- ✓ Purchase electronics, vehicles, or high-value items from private sellers
- ✓ Buy from sellers found on social media, Marketplace, or classifieds
- ✓ Shop across state or country lines
- ✓ Want a documented, dispute-ready process every time
Sell with confidence. Get paid without drama.
You've described your item honestly. But every time you sell online, there's that nagging worry — chargebacks, "I changed my mind," buyers who ghost after you ship. Not anymore.
You get paid. Period.
Once the buyer pays into escrow, the money is there. It releases when they confirm receipt or the inspection period expires — whichever comes first.
Your declarations are the contract
The buyer explicitly accepts your product characteristics before paying. Disputes are evaluated against what was agreed, not what they claim later.
Build a verified reputation
Your rating reflects verifiable behavior — shipping on time, honest descriptions, dispute history. A 4.8 here actually means something.
Perfect for sellers who
- ✓ Sell used electronics, clothing, vehicles, or appliances
- ✓ Post on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or local groups
- ✓ Have been hit by chargebacks on PayPal or similar
- ✓ Want to build a verified, trusted seller reputation

You sell regularly. Every transaction still carries risk — and that risk adds up. EscrowApp is the payment protection layer your business has been missing.
No integration needed

Every transaction signed with
cryptography.
We're building something no other P2P escrow has: every contract, every declaration, and every action in your transaction is cryptographically signed — creating a tamper-proof record that no one can alter after the fact.
Immutable digital contract
Once both parties sign the 6-characteristic product declaration, the record cannot be altered — not even by us.
Every action timestamped & signed
Payment, shipment, receipt, dispute — each step gets a cryptographic signature tied to your identity and time.
Court-admissible evidence
Your signed transaction record serves as legal documentation if a dispute ever needs to escalate beyond our platform.
