Well I would argue that expecting to make money off escrow tips is still naive as most wont or very little when they do, but starting an escrow as barely a Member account with next to no trading history is even more naive. And if people are so desperate for tips there's nothing to suggest they wouldn't run off with an an amount they like they look of. I also think new escrows like Muhammed only offer free service likely because they have to, nobody is going to pay a lesser escrow a percentage fee when there's others that do it for free and the escrowers will only hope they will get tips every now and again.
true, a relatively newer service cant compete with someone thats rather well established, such as devthdev. but the people that offer escrow services on this forum deserve respect for the service they provide, and I generally always tip them for their service. I can see how the newer members find this method to build trust and get tips extremely attractive, but in the case that simply offering a service is all they intend, with all honestly, then yes, they would be extremely naive to believe that people will trust them right off the bat; this is the real world after all.
