With this, both parties are protected, and the transaction can be carried on.

Escrow companies are usually utilized to transfer high-value business and personal property, like websites and companies, and to complete person-to-person remote auctions. However, the advent of new low-cost online escrow services has allowed even low-cost transactions to benefit from the use of escrow.
