first of all, you need to have large positive reputation, or others won't trust you, because would you trust a stranger with 0 reputation?

and second yes, you have to stay away from minds like "should i scam him"? because you have to earn money from your job not scams, 1 scam and it is over

Welcome to the SaltySpitoon, how Tough are ya?

It happens when your reputation becomes worth more than the total of the amounts you are escrowing. The best way to assure that you aren't going to run off with someone's 1 BTC you are escrowing, is if you stand to lose a lot more by scamming. Thats why a lot of people who do escrow around here run successful businesses, do a lot of dealing in the marketplace, etc.

Hilarious is right when he says it just happens naturally. Once you have some rep people will just start asking you to help with trades. I closed my public escrow service down a few months back and still do several escrows per month. It sounds fun being an escrow until you start doing lots per day/week. Escrow is time consuming and pretty much a thankless job. Account trades were by far the worst part of it.

There are no requirements set out by the forum but unless you've done a lot of previous trades and your name carries some weight around here then please don't bother. You'll only get negbombed and for good reason. It's a sad fact that most people who set out or want to become an escrow usually do it for the wrong reasons and end up scamming. People should really fall into escrowing naturally and a good rule of thumb is if people haven't already been asking you to escrow their transactions then you're not needed or trusted to be one. Why would you even want to be an escrow anyway? Why should anyone trust you? How do we know you're not going to run off as soon as you get an amount you like the look of? It's a hell of a lot of work and for little reward if any so I'm always sceptical of users like you who want to hold on to others money for them.

If you have to ask, you can't be an escrow. But that is just my opinion.
The 3 red trust is not going to help, how will you convince me I can trust you beyond a shadow of a doubt?

You need to be well known.
Trusted.
Have a lot of trade history with feedback.

Not that it really matters but with your limited feeback (untrusted) 3 out of 5 are negative.

I dont think many would choose to use you over someone well established like OgNasty
