Why did I get bounced to escrow when seller doesn't seem to have an account?

I have never seen escrow before. I tried to purchase an item with "Buy it now" and was asked for a credit card and then sent to escrow.com.  What happened to using PayPal?  My seller doesn't seem to have an escrow.com account, or at least the purchase was initially linked to the item, but then all the details, including price, disappeared.  I didn't know I would have to memorize all the fees, etc., before I moved on to the next screen in escrow.com.  What the heck is going on?  What time length am I supposed to use? Audiogon gave a time, I think, but that has disappeared, too.

Confused and not super thrilled with my latest experience...

Interesting, thanks for the information. I'm the same way, pretty picky.

Time to thin the herd here though.. 40 + years of stuff...

Good to see Agon has options and resolved it pretty quick.. 

Any additional fees.. it would be on the seller.. If they want to sell, to me that is.

Happy hunting..

Sell on USAudiomart.  Less hassle, no fees, and no bad deals for me after 30 transactions.  If a buyer doesn’t have lots of feedback just insist on PayPal send to a friend

I'm noticing lots of new users with only Escrow.com payment methods.  Usually with only one item for sale and poorly written descriptions.
