I can't accept venmo but we can make a deal if you have skrill? On a side note there are plenty of dealers in the exchange section:

You can avoid escrow there.
We are in the exchange section.
...and more importantly, why would anyone want to avoid Escrow?
Me too, I don't understand the avoid escrow part !! In the exchange section too escrow is needed, being in the exchange does not mean you can deal without escrow, in fact escrow is more than recommended in that section as the deals are in money for BTC, not BTC for goods.
