Help What does "Release Escrow" mean to a buyer?

[Concorde]

When someone buys something on the dark web, it appears as though:

• after they pay, and
• after the order has been accepted, but
• before delivery, and while
• the status is "Escrow - Processed",

that they can press a green button that says "Release Escrow".

Does that mean "make my order happen now" or what?

When you get your package you release the escrow basically sending the money to the vendor. Never release escrow before the package arrives.

Dang it. Gotcha. I was hoping there was a way to get delivery faster. Thank you very much. That makes much more sense vocab-wise.
