I've bought and sold several domains through escrow.com, also no problems, and never heard of any problems. However, I do sometimes wonder about loopholes, if either seller or buyer were trying to pull a scam. For example, suppose the buyer pays escrow.com, requests a transfer, but then transfers the domain to a different identity than their own, and says to escrow.com they never got the domain. Or similarly, what if the seller authorized a transfer to another of their own identities, and lied and said the transfer was made to the buyer. Maybe it would get sorted out, but it would be a messy situation.
One time with a nervous seller, I asked escrow.com to send a record of a few my previous escrow.com transactions to the seller. That added to their confidence that I wasn't a flake or a scammer. Pr0, since the person buying the domain suggested escrow.com, they've probably used escrow.com in the past, so if you're still nervous, perhaps you could ask if the seller would authorize escrow.com to release info on some previous transactions?
