Kjg- I have completed several transactions thru paypal with no serious problems; however their customer service does leave a lot to be desired. I have used iescrow once and found it to be quick and easy. It certainly provides better protection than paypal. In my case, seller requested it and offered to pay fee. Seems to me that this is an item that could be negotiated and is probably the most equitable way of protecting both parties. Anyone out there have any problems with iescrow or other escrow services?
