Doron Vermaat posted on the Efty blog that his company has teamed up with Payoneer and will be offering commission free transactions in April.
I’m excited to share that we’ve taken another step in making Efty the epicenter of your domaining activities by partnering with global payments company Payoneer to add secure, licensed and global domain name transactions to the Efty platform through its escrow services. To celebrate the launch of this service on our platform, Payoneer is giving away free escrow transactions to Efty users for the entire month of April, 2017.
Payoneer is a digital payments company that powers cross-border transactions to over 200 countries, in 150 local currencies. Thousands of major internet brands, like Airbnb and Google as well as millions of small business owners such as online sellers in China and service providers in India, rely on Payoneer to power their cross-border payments.
A deep integration with Payoneer’s escrow API enables you to place Buy It Now (BIN) buttons on your For-Sale landing pages and domain name marketplace, which will allow buyers to purchase their domain names with the help of the licensed and secure online escrow payment service. With it’s easy to use interface, Payoneer’s escrow service is one of the easiest and most secure ways for businesses to pay and get paid online.
Lately, we have seen an increasing demand for alternative domain escrow services from our users and we feel that Payoneer’s world-class technology, seasoned team, and competitive pricing are the perfect partner to fill the gap and help us with our core mission to help our users sell more domain names without paying a dollar in commission. Payoneer’s global payment capability enables our sellers, who are based all around the world to receive payments quicker, in their local currency and at lower costs than with traditional payment methods
To promote our partnership Payoneer will waive the escrow fee for all Efty sellers for the entire month of April.

Can you (and/or Efty) please kindly clarify that this payment option is in addition to — and not in lieu of — the existing Escrow.com payment functionality that already exists on the Efty.com platform?
In my view, nothing would undermine and ultimately ruin an awesome service like Efty faster than gradually “drifting away” from highly-branded, universally recognized auxiliary services (e.g., Escrow.com) that embed universal Trust and Confidence into their offerings. All too often, companies in this space make the false assumption that users are “buying into THEIR brand” for trust — rather than the brand (and associated trust) associated with an auxiliary service such as Escrow.com.
I love the Efty platform, and plan on signing-up for it imminently, but I can’t get ‘high-dollar’ deals reliably done (e.g., $6K and above) riding their brand alone… when it comes to other peoples’ money, we need the global brand awareness of Escrow.com, PayPal.com, ABC Bank, et al.
I go to great pains to emphasize all of the foregoing because Efty has a number of aesthetically impressive, uniformly user-friendly competitors that have naively opted for lesser-known payment processors — to their enormous detriment… I personally wouldn’t touch ’em, no matter how pretty they are!

to T Brown,
That is total bull, Escrow.com is not an option anymore for myself as well as others. Since they were acquired their service has just about ceased to exist. Total incompetence going on there. Read the blogs, you will see. Payoneer has been around long enough for folks to be comfortable with once they checkthem out. Adios Escrow.com
Doron Vermaat says
Payoneer is an addition to the already existing integration we have with Escrow.com
At Efty we are all for giving our users choice and Escrow.com has been a great partner of ours for a while now.
We are currently working on adding a third payment partner to the platform.
