The buyer realized that my asking price was fair, and did not want to lose the opportunity to acquire the domain.<\/p>\n<p>Using the Domain Name Holding service requires some calculations, when passing on numbers to the potential buyer.<\/p>\n<p>Some things I learned from the ongoing process:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first payment must be made by bank wire. Subsequent payments can be made via credit card or PayPal, at the discretion of Escrow.com<\/li>\n<li>Escrow.com fees are paid up front, along with the first installment. In this case, one third of the amount, plus the base fee and the holding fee.<\/li>\n<li>The minimum holding period is 3 payment cycles. E.g. first installment, followed by two monthly payments.<\/li>\n<li>You can find more info at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escrow.com\/domain-name-holding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Escrow.com page.<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m definitely eager to explore this domain selling option at Escrow.com.
