anyone ever heard of this place? Im selling a fairly pricy piece of gear to a guy in europe and he wants to use this escrow company but Ive never heard of them and their website is..well...lacking.
reassurance would be great but I think Im gonna tell this guy no deal unless he uses escrow.com, with whom I am familiar
anyone?

might as well be the guy paying, eh?
have you thought of setting up a pay-pal account?
i'd think this would be the easiest way to go.

it seems it'd be difficult to find anyone who'd handle a transfer of funds, especially internationally, without exacting some chunk for themselves.

escrow will cost, but the buyer will pay the fees. on this amount paypal would be close to $200 or so...
dunno...the guy agreed to use the escrow service that I am familiar with. much better

so if you're selling on ebay, all that + your ebay fees = a lot of money down the shitter it's prolly a fair bit smoother if you're in US but you still need to keep an eye on where your money's going, espcially if you're selling the stuff for a living.
that's not to say I don't use paypal, it's damn useful and you'll usually get more money for an auction if you accept it as people like spending money they don't have, but it can be an expensive business.
oh, and it can be worryingly easy for someone to scam you if they send money that way.
