Does anyone have any experience with it? How does it work? I'm selling a frame on ebay(see sig) and a guy is wanting to use the ebay escrow service. He's says he's willing to pay all necessary fees. Thoughts?

I don't believe that there is such a thing with eBay. I could be wrong, but I remember it being kind of a big thing with scammers. Escrows are for the most part all run by scammers these days. PayPal is the best way to make sure you get paid.

Thanks, guys. That's what I was kind of thinking; I looked at his ebay history and he hasn't bought anything since '04. So I guess there's a chance the acct got hijacked. He has 100% positive feedback on 10 transactions. Thanks again.

Escrow.com is 100% legit. I've used them with good results.
Perhaps suggest a different escrow service (escrow.com)
If he is scared away, then you will know he is a scammer.
You might also contact ebay and see if they indeed have an escrow service.
