Buyer guidelines
If the buyer has agreed to pay all or a portion of the escrow fee, the fee amount will be added to the purchase price of the domain name so total transaction costs are clear upfront. The party responsible for the fee is recorded in the Transaction Details section of your agreement.
Payment methods
- Bank wire transfer (domestic and international)
- ACH (Automated Clearing House)
- Debit and credit card
- Cryptocurrency, if the seller agrees to accept cryptocurrency and the buyer pays in cryptocurrency

Once all applicable conditions of the transaction have been completed and verified, JJN Solutions will pay the seller and broker (if applicable) the next business day via:
- Bank wire transfer
- ACH (Automated Clearing House)
- Cryptocurrency, if the seller agrees to accept cryptocurrency and the buyer pays in cryptocurrency
If the seller or broker agrees to pay all or a portion of the transaction fee, the fee will be deducted from the applicable payout. Disbursement fees, where applicable, are also deducted from the payout — see the disbursement fee table above.

The nature of this service
What this service is. Domain escrow and transfer services provided through DomainEscrow.com are administrative and transaction-facilitation services. We hold funds, verify that agreed conditions have been met, coordinate the movement of domain names between registrars, and disburse funds when the transaction completes.
What this service is not. These services are not legal services and do not constitute the practice of law. Using them does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and JJN Solutions Law, PLLC or any of its attorneys. The protections that accompany an attorney-client relationship — including the attorney-client privilege, the duty of confidentiality owed to a client, and the conflict-of-interest rules — do not apply to the escrow or transfer service.
We are neutral. JJN Solutions Law, PLLC acts as a neutral intermediary between the parties to a transaction. We do not represent the buyer, the seller, or any broker. We do not advise any party on whether a transaction is advisable, whether the price is fair, whether a domain name is worth what is being paid, or whether the terms are in that party’s interest. Each party is responsible for its own commercial and legal decisions and is encouraged to obtain independent advice.
If you want legal advice. Legal services are available separately. If you wish to engage JJN Solutions Law, PLLC for legal advice or representation on any matter, that engagement is separate from the escrow or transfer service, requires a written engagement agreement, is subject to a conflicts check, and is billed separately at the firm’s hourly rates. Nothing on this website, in our transaction documents, or in correspondence about a transaction constitutes legal advice.
About the trust account. Client funds are held in a regulated attorney trust account. This is an account-custody arrangement that governs how your money is held and safeguarded. It does not convert the escrow service into a legal service and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
