  3. Escrow Agent sees the evidence of shipment and initiates the transfer of the funds stored in the escrow to the Seller. The transaction is now complete.
  4. In case if the seller does not produce an evidence of shipment to the Escrow Agent then Escrow Agent returns the funds from escrow to the Buyer. Buyer receives his/her money back.
  5. Escrow Agent can get a small fee of the transaction amount for his/her impartial arbitration.
