no offense but the site seems terrible. it might as well be a text box and asubmit button as you just ask everyone to submit a query through the help desk

Certainly this seems like a nice escrow service charging 2% to the buyer.
Unfortunately, the fact that the bitcoins need to be transferred to a wallet owned by a person or persons who are not clearly identified leads to substantial risk for both buyer and seller. There would be no way for either party to legally go after the owners of that wallet in the event the site simply goes down and the BTC are moved elsewhere.

Certainly, a little faith is required with a new service. I simply would like to report that it appears successful in what might be described as personal experience so far, that doesn't mean there's no risk involved.

site is not even a real company? can't find info on Mexbill Pay the organization who registered the domain according to these docs. also do real companies use yahoo addresses on their contact info? i'm just trying to prevent anyone from getting scammed until we know the legitimacy of your company.
Some additional research, the phone listed in the registration leads to a "number not in service" message. The address in Richmond, BC appears on google maps and corresponds to a house address visible in street view. WhitePages.ca lists 5 Daniel Browns in Richmond, BC, though none at this address.

-be able to verify via online banking that there has been a cash deposit made into their account for the correct amount.
-receive a scanned copy of the actual deposit slip used during the deposit transaction.
-receive a scanned copy of the business card of the bank employee who accepted the deposit who can be contacted to verify the deposit.
-receive a scanned copy of the actual deposit slip used during the deposit transaction.
-receive a scanned copy of the business card of the bank employee who accepted the deposit who can be contacted to verify the deposit.
How can the seller know with certainty that cash was deposited (versus a personal check, for instance)?
Some banks charge extra to perform a counterfeit bill check at the time of deposit. Is it possible the buyer passes a bogus bill, and then the funds are pulled from the seller's account a day or so later?
I think a couple other people have already answered the question, and they are correct. In today's day and age, pretty much every major online banking UI will display to the account holder the nature of the deposit instrument. Most online statements indicate if the deposit was made in cash or check. That's what my clients who bank at Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase Manhattan etc have told me.
With respect to your comment about counterfeit cash being deposited into the seller's account...anybody foolish enough to try to pass counterfeit cash at the single most scrutinized point of entry will deserve what comes their way. On the off chance that a buyer did actually successfully pass counterfeit cash into the banking system, the seller is not vicariously liable for the bank's inability to detect a counterfeit instrument.
Translation-Zero risk.

Questions best for the bank, I think. Though when I see deposits on even small regional bank, it lets me know, cash, check.. Good luck depositing a counterfeit Bernankedollar. I wouldn't count on that percentage, have you had the latter happen??
Edit: Are you in the States? If not, no clue.
All the FRNs around here go through a machine, even at a teller window.
Machine Counts it, checks it, probably records the serial number, dusts for prints and checks your prostrate while its at it.

I really need more bitcoins right now. There is a lineup of buyers waiting right now to make cash deposits into your bank account if you have any bitcoins you want sold at current MtGox rates.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Just registered this account for the purpose of posting in this thread...
I wanted to vouch for the legitimacy of this service, I did a cash deposit at B of A this morning and had my coins within a couple hours (not a huge purchase, around $100). A great alternative for me because I thought I was out of luck when BitInstant wouldn't take any orders from my home state.

There are now bitcoins available for purchase at any JPMorgan CHASE bank.

site is not even https secured?
-Zero financial transactions occur on the site.
-Zero information is collected via the site.
-Hence zero need for Https on the site.
Has anyone said in your face yet?
I suppose a hacker could expose how to make deposits into our accounts.

Great idea and can't get shut down! But this may make the government sieze individual accounts. Taking a cash deposit directly would make us money transmitters. But I'll be using it with a bank I don't use.

Just submitted my request. Look forward to hearing from you regarding deposit details.

Also, as someone who has made multiple purchases now, maybe you could implement a trusted buyer system of sorts, or reduce the hold time for unresponsive sellers to 12 hours?
I fully appreciate your desire to speed up the process. Sellers are given 24 hours regardless if a purchaser has purchased from us before. I am sure that you would never do anything dishonest, but I simply cannot release any bitcoins until I receive permission from the seller. Afterall, the bitcoins belong to the seller and not Bitcoin-Brokers.
Obviously if a deposit has been made and the seller goes MIA, then I will release your bitcoins since the deposit slip you have provided looks good to me. Some sellers are more available than others which seems to be the reason why sometimes releases come within minutes while at times like this they take several hours.
I am manning the helpdesk, so the second I see the release email come through from the seller your bitcoins will be released.
