Bitcoin Escrow Service

Bitcoin payments cannot be reversed. Once BTC leaves your wallet there is no bank, no chargeback and no undo button. A Bitcoin escrow service is how buyers and sellers who met online protect themselves: we hold the BTC in escrow and only release it when the buyer confirms delivery.

Start an Escrow Transaction How It Works

Why Bitcoin deals need escrow

Every "pay with Bitcoin" scam works the same way: the seller insists on upfront BTC because they know it is unrecoverable. With escrow, the seller can see the funds are real and reserved, and the buyer knows the coins only move when the deal is done. That protects both sides of the trade.

How our BTC escrow works

You open a transaction, agree the terms with the other party, and the buyer sends BTC to a unique escrow deposit address. Our team manually verifies the deposit on the Bitcoin blockchain before the seller is told to deliver. After the buyer confirms delivery, we release the BTC to the seller's wallet, typically the same day.

What it costs

A flat 1% escrow fee, quoted up front. Compare that with traditional escrow companies whose Bitcoin support is a bolt-on with disbursement charges of $100-$250 per payout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to pay with Bitcoin for an online purchase?

Directly, no: BTC payments are irreversible, so if the seller vanishes your money is gone. Through escrow, yes. The seller only receives the Bitcoin after you confirm you received what you paid for.

Can you get your money back if scammed with Bitcoin?

Almost never. Bitcoin transactions cannot be reversed, which is why prevention through escrow is the only reliable protection for BTC purchases from strangers.

How long does Bitcoin escrow take?

Deposits are verified after blockchain confirmation (typically under an hour). Release to the seller usually happens the same day the buyer confirms delivery.
