Ok, there has been a development I got the money plus an extra money (good will) I'll post update once I figure out what happened but so far i'm super excited all turned out good!

Lol what happened or what did you do wrong?

I'm not sure I'm new to this. He sent me an email this morning and skyped me, so when I got on he said he had technical problems and sent the money plus some extra for the delay etc.. seamed fair enough. In any case I'm doing a larger one with him again once I get the MoneyPak at wallmart but with escrow I need to learn to use escrow. This will be my second transaction i hope it works. I need some bit coin to pay for domains, hosting etc i have an idea for bitcion business  had no idea how hard it is to get them.

Oh, and last night some guy from Panama or Costa Rica tried to get money from me I said escrow (on skype) he hung up. All I need is to find a few trustworthy people to do business with it's not easy but i'll get there. I'm excited about bitcoin (and other alt coins) I think this is the best thing to happen to humanity after Tesla.

Thanks for starting this thread. I am a noob without a clue how to trade through escrow. Reading your experiences has taught me a lot. Also, thanks to the poster of the link to the list of trusted escrow services.

That's what's good about this forum. You can get feedback from experienced traders on who to trust. It's the main reason I joined bitcointalk.

True, but on the flipside you can also be scammed out of all your coins so be careful.

Tesla? But yes Bitcoin should be a revolutionary idea and I hope it catches on with the masses.

If you read what Tesla was up to I think is he was working today and could get crowd-funded and somehow stay unregulated that mean would invent free energy and instant communication and travel anywhere in the universe like Ansible and Children Of the Mind (Orson Card books) kinda thing that man was a genius but was caged by the money corruption, I think bitcoin is putting us on the right track to free humanity from these dam control freak parasites who hate liberty. If this gets crushed the end game is global fascism if bitcion wins the end game is total liberty of humanity throughout the universe and that is what's at stake as far as I'm concerned.

If free energy is possible it'll be invented by scientists with todays technology. Doubt somebody dies 70+ years ago would be any help.

we got on skype:

I sent the MoneyPak it's been 4 days I didn't get the bitcoins he says it's because the transaction is to small can't make to my wallet I said yesterday I want the bitcoins by the end of the day or the dollars back now he doesn't respond.

Any ideas what I can do or it's just a price to pay for my ignorance of not nowing to use escrow?

It's the price you pay unfortunately. Just be thankful it was only $20 and learn from your mistakes. Never send first or use escrow.

You've been scammed. Don't deal with newbs and use escrow.

How big of transaction was it? You have to agree on terms before you send them bitcoins. Escrow works as a guarantee, for exchange between two parties. When you agree on terms tell them to your escrow agent. Then do the trade. If you are exchanging money for bitcoins, ask to see bitcoins in escrows account first before you pay them money. Then send proof of payment to escrow agent and then you will get your bitcoins.
Do small transactions first to see if someone can be trusted or not.

perfect I love this and can see the fee. This is great, thank you!

you will need to use escrow for trades !!!

I just did my first trade with a member here for $20 money pack still don't have the money I send the money pack I didn't know about escrow he says the transaction is to small that is why it's not showing up yet and that resent it again, I said if I get both 2 times I'll return one, but havn't gotten it yet I hope I will get it later today since I want to buy domain and hosting with bitcoin so I need some. Hopefully I get them, lets see but at least I learned that you are right I need escrow.

Who did you send to? Sounds like he's BSing you to be honest.

I'll post in a few days the username if I don't get the money and then next time use an escrow, right now I hope it's just a type on the account number he used or something and I get the coins that is what I'm hopping for. But if not I will post what went on via skype and email. Lets hope it's just some mistake.

You may try the new service https://www.bitrated.com/
It use m-of-n transactions, so you don't need a escrow or arbitration if the deal ends well.


And if it doesn't end well?

Quote
The arbitrator is chosen ahead of time, and is to be agreed upon by both the buyer and the seller. In case of a dispute, the parties can ask the arbitrator to give his ruling and decide what to do with the money.

This isn't foolproof. You'd probably be better just using a trusted escrow.

I just wanted to try it out for $20 bucks though I would get it done in minutes 3 days ago and have my first coin now i'm wasting time on skype/email trying to figure out why it's not coming over hopefully he just put the wrong address in he said he will share desktop to try to help

Don't do that. He might be able to gain access to other stuff you have then and take even more from you. If it was three days ago you've been scammed.

Use a trusted escrow, is the best way to go about it. Safest for both parties too.

Yup, I got that lesson lets hope it doesn't cost me the 20 bucks we will know soon. In the mean time need a few hundred dollars to get started in bitcoin willing to deposit in bank account or buy moneypak or buy something BUT VIA TRUSTED ESCROW. Anyone interested with trusting history let me know and I want to do it in multiple transactions. Thanks.
