Tether (USDT) escrow
USDT escrow, done safely
Hold USDT in escrow until the seller delivers. Every USDT deposit is checked on its blockchain, and the seller is paid only after you confirm you received what you paid for.
How USDT escrow works
- Open a deal. Enter the seller's email, what you are buying and the price. Both of you need a free account.
- Deposit USDT. Send the total shown on your deal page to the escrow address it gives you, then submit the transaction ID. We check it on the blockchain.
- Seller delivers. The seller can see the deal is funded, so they deliver without worrying about payment.
- You confirm, seller is paid. When it arrives and matches the deal, click "I received it" and the funds are released to the seller. Something wrong? Report a problem and the deal is frozen for review.
What it costs

USDT escrow questions
What is the difference between USDT TRC20 and ERC20, and which should I send?
USDT exists on several blockchains, including Tron (TRC20) and Ethereum (ERC20), and they are not interchangeable. Always send on the exact network shown next to the deposit address on your deal page. Tron transfers usually cost much less in network fees than Ethereum ones.
What happens if I send crypto on the wrong network?
Crypto sent on the wrong network or to a wrong address is usually lost for good, and nobody, including us, can reverse a blockchain transfer. Our withdrawal form checks address formats and warns you when an address belongs to a different network.
How do I do a large USDT deal with a stranger safely?
Use escrow so neither side has to trust the other first, agree the exact network (TRC20 or ERC20) in writing, and double-check every address before sending. For a first deal with someone new, many people start with a smaller test deal.
How much does crypto escrow cost, and who pays the fee?
EZY-ESCROW charges one flat 2% fee, paid by the buyer on top of the deal amount. The seller receives the full amount agreed. The normal blockchain network fee for sending crypto is paid by whoever sends it.
What is a transaction ID (TX hash), and how do I prove my deposit arrived?
A transaction ID, or TX hash, is the unique code your wallet gives every transfer. Paste it on the deposit form: for BTC, ETH, USDT and TRX we look it up on the blockchain, and the amount credited is what the blockchain shows arrived.
What happens if the seller never delivers?
Do not confirm receipt. Use "Report a problem" on the deal page: the deal is frozen and our team reviews it. If it is settled in your favour, everything you deposited, including the escrow fee, is refunded to your EZY-ESCROW wallet, and you can withdraw it from there.
