The Escrow system is a payment system that is fully integrated into RCTrader.com. It is a proprietary system that we have developed. tested and implemented to offer greater control and security to buyers and sellers.

The Escrow system works by holding the buyer's funds in an RCTrader.com controlled bank account. The funds are held until the buyer receives the item. Once the buyer confirms receipt of the goods, the funds are released to the seller.
