Who pays the escrow fee
The fee is negotiable: buyer-pays, seller-pays, or split 50/50, agreed up front as part of the deal terms. Escrow protects both sides: funds are held by a neutral third party until the seller transfers the store, domain, and agreed assets and the buyer confirms during an inspection period.
