If you want to make a trade and want someone to act as escrow , contact me. I'll be more than willing to help free of charge. Why? Because I realize any type of escrow is built on trust and I would like to build the communities trust in me. This might not be as fast as automated systems, but hopefully it leaves you with a great sense of security.
Now that ClearCoin is closed to new listings, there is opportunity for this type of service.
If you are serious about doing this then there are a few steps you likely want to take.
1.) Identity and experience
When ClearCoin launched, the operator -- already a trusted member of the community, shared full identity. Few will trust an escrow partner without this information.
Also, getting registered on the OTC web of trust (OTC WoT) and using that as part of your business might likely be the only "marketing" you need to do to get started.

2.) Services and Fees
Nobody expects this type of service to be free. List what services you offer, the terms (including dispute resolution handling and limits) and fees.
