In some cases, these websites claim to be affiliated with eBay, and may without authorization display the eBay logo. eBay recommends that its users use only eBay's recommended escrow partner when engaging the services of an escrow service for an eBay transaction. In the United States, that partner is www.escrow.com, a licensed and bonded...
