Escrow Service
Fameswap offers a secure escrow service for users looking to buy or sell social media properties. It allows sellers to accept secure form of payment, and buyers to receive access to social media property without risk. You can see our recently sold page that showcases happy escrow customers.
What does it cost?
Fameswap Escrow fees are 5% of offer price or $50 minimum, whichever is greater, available for eligible transactions over $100. The fees may be assigned to the Buyer, the Seller or split among the parties. Who pays the fee is agreed upon at the time the escrow is created.
Fameswap premium subscribers can enjoy 3% escrow fee or $50 minimum, whichever is greater, for a limited time (we may reverse this decision at any time in the future).
Example: If you or your counter party are currently an active premium subscriber, your fees will be 3% of transaction amount (or $50 minimum), when you agree on escrow terms.

In the case of wire transfers, Buyer will initiate the wire to an account designated by Fameswap.com on or before the date set forth in the Escrow Detail Screens. Regardless of the payment method, Buyer authorizes Fameswap.com and Fameswap.com authorized agents to initiate credit or debit transactions, as applicable, to obtain the purchase price and fees due for a Transaction and to initiate any debit or credit entries or reversals, as the case may be, as may be necessary to correct any error in a payment or transfer and to discharge Buyer's obligations under Section 22 of this Agreement. Fameswap.com will deposit funds received from Buyer into an escrow trust account maintained by Fameswap.com (the "Escrow Account"). Unless otherwise requested as specified in the following sentence, escrowed deposits do not earn interest for Buyer or Seller. If you anticipate an extended closing of the Transaction, then you may request and approve an instruction to have Fameswap.com place Buyer's funds into an interest bearing account for the benefit of Buyer or Seller. If interest is to accrue to the benefit of the Seller, then both Buyer and Seller must request and approve the establishment of the interest bearing account.
