ESSCROW™ is our contribution to the online trading community. While online payments and trust systems are firmly in place for markets like the US, the Philippine market has yet to overcome diffculties in establishing the foundation and attitudes and level of responsibility necessary to reach such a secure and mature stage. We provide a means to overcome these difficulties at an affordable P 1,160.00/month.

HOW THINGS ARE DONE BEFORE/ NOW

Two parties, the Buyer and Seller, are normally involved in a transaction. Because of the absence of online payment facilities due to difficulty in getting merchant accounts on part of the Seller coupled with lack of access to credit cards on part of the Buyer, they have no choice but to use unsatisfactory workarounds like:

1. Buyer is expected to make a deposit to the bank account of the Seller - thereby exposing the Buyer to the possibiity of still not receiving the item even if he already paid for it. Even if the Seller can accept cards and the Buyer has one, there is still a question of trust. Is the credit card safe and will the item be delivered?

Or

2. Buyer and Seller send a series of text messages to try to synchronize their schedules to work out a suitable meeting date and time (if they can actually agree on it) in a public place to exchange the goods for money physically on-the-spot - thereby exposing both to risk of theft and hardly a proper place to be testing goods or counting money.

HOW YOUR ESSCROW™ MEMBERSHIP CAN HELP

As a well established company with an easily reachable secure venue (see Contact Us page), we overcome the problem by:

1. Providing a secure place to transact. Publish the address on your Item Desciption, put a link to our website for a detailed location map, or refer them to the commuting/driving directions on our website. FREE to ESSCROW™ members.

2. Providing a receiving service for the item of the Seller if the Buyer cannot come yet, thereby eliminating the need to do precision synchronizing of schedules. FREE to ESSCROW™ members.

3. Providing a means for the Buyer to actually see and hold the item for inspection. FREE to ESSCROW™ members.

4. Using our ESSCROW™ service shows your Buyers that you are confident about your products and you understand your Buyer's concerns. You are a professional, honest trader.

We don't require both to be members - only at least the Buyer or the Seller need to be an ESSCROW™ member.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

ESSCROW™ membership costs just P 1,160.00/month!
