Is the escrow service still available ?
Bump.
Bump.
I have never dealt personally with achow101 but I am a regular user of the forum and I have seen he is very helpful in very important sections of the forum like Development and Technical Discussion, Technical Support, Alternative Clients and Beginner's and Help. Based on what I have seen I can vouch for him. Personally I would have 0 problems using him as an escrow.
Wish you achow101 success in your venture.
Mind my asking but why do you not have any rating or trust at all ?
I do have trust, it's just that none of the people who have left me feedback are on Default Trust so most people don't see those feedback. If you click the link in my trust page to show untrusted feedback, you will see all of those ratings.I can vouch for KnightDK. I'm a silent follower of his work!
He's a trustable dev, making alot of helpful bitcoin related scripts.
+Rep!

Can you guide me how does escrow works ?
The buyer or seller contacts the escrow to arrange an escrow of a good or service.The escrow creates an escrow address. This address can be either a normal address or a multisig address. The multisig address requires that 2 of the 3 parties involved (seller, buyer, escrow) allows the transaction from that address to happen. It is extra protection.
Then the seller sends the funds for the payment to the escrow address. The product is then exchanged. If it is a digital good and the escrow can verify it, then it is sent to the escrow. The escrow will verify the good and if it meets what the buyer stated that he wanted, it is forwarded to the buyer. If the buyer likes the product, then he tells the escrow to release the funds from the escrow address to the seller. If the buyer doesn't, he can dispute.
For physical goods, usually it is just the seller ships the item to the buyer and the buyer will verify that the item he received was what he wanted. He then informs the escrow to release the funds. If what he got wasn't what he wanted, he can dispute.
If a dispute happens, the escrow mediates. He takes information and evidence from both parties and decides who gets how much of the money.
That is how escrow typically works.

Hey Knightdk. Great to see you're starting in on the escrow biz. The project you helped me with before has been released at least at the alpha level. You should sign up to be a mediator as I would use you for a future job. http://reinproject.org Check it out. Also, if you have any ideas for jobs to post to help the project, I'm accepting suggestions.
Awesome, I'll check it out. It has come a long way since I last looked at that!

If you're looking for a safe, big transaction escrow Mitchell is the guy , a relatively small but quick escrow ~$100 I'd go for Sebastian and for the safest escrow I'd go for shorena.
Hey! Don't be advertising for others in my thread @OP there's much competetion already for offering such a high fee
Yeah, I know, but there have been a few escrows who have stopped escrowing so I thought I would come fill in a gap and help escrow stuff. Also, my fees are negotiable (I will add that to the OP) and I can usually be talked into lowering my fees significantly. Can anyone tell apart from Knightdk's escrow service , which are the good escrow services ? List them in the order from most reliable to least reliable. This will help us making a choice in selection.

Well I have heard that escrowing can be difficult and many times people don't tip. The thing is, I want a little reward, but if I started out without a fee and then started charging a fee later, then people wouldn't like it. Instead I will start out with a higher fee and over time I may lower that. Also, I don't want a ton of escrow requests because they take a lot of time so this is a little barrier to keep the load lower.
I guess your "business model" is not based on barclays or similar.
That's what this community need. An escrow service by a user with clean background not others whose accounts are suspected to be bought
Don't get me wrong but charging 0.01 btc at the beginning of your service seems to be big
