Escrow Services

AutoTraderClassics.com suggests you use a reputable escrow service such as Escrow.com to provide a secure way to buy or sell your Collector Vehicle.

What is an escrow service?

An escrow service like Escrow.com reduces the potential risk of fraud by acting as a trusted third party that collects, holds and disburses funds according to buyer and seller instructions.

How do I find a reputable escrow service?

If you decide to use an escrow service other than Escrow.com, please make sure that it is a reputable service - fraudsters sometimes create phony escrow sites and encourage buyers to send money to them. Remember these tips:

• Never EVER use any service recommended by the other party in your transaction!
• AutoTraderClassics.com will never tell you to use Western Union or MoneyGram to pay for purchases.
• AutoTraderClassics.com does NOT offer a "Payment Protection Program".
• AutoTraderClassics.com will never email you to certify that a "seller" is approved.
