Initiating the Sale / Escrow:
First step for a prospective account buyer,once they see an account they would like to buy they should research Escrow Agents and contact Escrow Agent of choice then have that Agent Contact the seller of the account to set up escrow. Always ask a seller to escrow with the agent you have chosen from the trusted escrow list. When buying an account.An interested buyer needs to have the seller contact escrow before anything else happens. After the deal goes to escrow all communication should go through the Escrow Agent. Once the Escrow goes live and begins,the buyer and seller, really should not be talking to each other.until the deal is done The Process:
Buyer Will send BTC to Escrow Agent, Seller will provide and give the accounts detailed information. Escrow Agent logs in to the account and will change the email address & reset the password & enable 2fa. The Escrow Agent Must then verify the sellers (Hashing power/hashlets) Are in correct number and order. Only when the Escrow Agent is satisfied, Does the Agent ask the buyer for the email address He will be using on the account. The Escrow Agent will then set that email in the account and give full control of the account to the buyer. Escrow Agents will usually remind a buyer to immediately reset all security features available on an account once an escrow has finished. After All of the above is done the Escrow agent will send the BTC to the seller in the amount requested minus any fees for the escrow agents services (not all them charge the same)
