escrow.com is a licensed escrow operator.

This is how it works, they don't get to just decide the outcome or they'll get shutdown during their audits.

This is a good thing in transacting on the internet.




Does escrow licensing not allow for a "transaction closed in 3 months or assets released to original owner" contracts?


I'm pretty sure it does, actually. They just need a clear flow chart and then for people to not want to change it after the fact.


Should release by default when there is no dispute.


probably the 'licensed' in licensed escrow operator disallows this.
