I went over the list quickly and it looks like apart from me, OgNasty's minimum fee isn't also accurate ^{[both of us have updated our fees recently]}...
^{- Kindly include our updated fee structures whenever you'll be adding back the temporarily suspended users to the list
- Btw, thank you for continuous updates.}

★ UPDATE ★ Nov 2020 ★

Changelog:

Nov 10th, 2020: monbux seems not doing escrow in spite of his/her "escrow thread remaining open. This has led to dozens of scams over the last 2 years by Monbux impersonators. Any time you are approached by someone on Telegram claiming to be Monbux, you are being set up for a scam". So monbux has been flagged (and removed from the list until issue is solved):

New additional data inserted for all escrow providers: "Deals with"
P.s. Thank you minerjones for the suggestion!

Thank you for updating the list. Definitely agree with the decision, and I apologize for being inactive within the community (life got in the way pretty quickly)

I made one final post on my escrow thread, closing down the service: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.55894427

Thanks for your considerations. I really appreciate that.

Thank you as well for taking my suggestions into consideration and also for updating the list. I'm glad I could help you

An updated topic for escrow services is very useful for all forum members which, sometimes, don't know where to ask for such services.

Hi GazetaBitcoin,

A broader list update is scheduled for the beginning of 2021.

Any old escrow providers that have not logged in the last months (and not replied my PMs) and those that haven't posted their "escrow announcement thread or website" will be delisted.

Considering those escrow providers that you recommended, I'm getting in touch with them in order to ask if they wish to join the list.

Thanks for your considerations. I really appreciate that.

Cheers!

This topic needs some more updates. Some of the users mentioned in OP should be removed, while others should be added.

Lutpin should be removed as I didn't see any topic where he announced that he is offering escrow services. The same applies for the other users with no ANN threads - Seccour, starsoccer9 and silent17. How do you know they offer escrow if they have no related threads?

bittawm's ANN thread is missing from OP; here it is: Bittawms Legendary Escrow Service - 0.9% BTC. However, the user was banned in the past, according to LoyceV:

Quote from: LoyceV on May 20, 2019, 04:18:27 PM

He's banned:

Quote from: LoyceV on May 20, 2019, 04:15:40 AM

27. Legendary bittawm (Trust: 118: -0 / +13) (45 Merit earned (history)) (BPIP)

He was later unbanned, but I don't know if an ex-banned user can be considered reliable for acting as escrow.

Hhampuz should be added: Hhampuz Campaign Management & Escrow Service | Available!.

yogg should also be added: [ESCROW] 🌠 yogg's escrow service ⭐ BTC & Alts ⭐ Fast ⭐ Reliable ⭐ Secure 🌠.

Other users from OP should be asked if they are willing to offer escrow services anymore. One example is John K., which is mostly inactive for months. But the other users should be also asked if their services are still operational. Maybe some retired...

Hi I need escrow service to sell BTC for USD. Could anyone suggest an escrow? Thank you.

Instead of asking for someone else's suggestion, I would advise going over the "★ Members ★" area and read each of the escrow providers respective threads ^{[in order to see if they handle such deals]}.
^{- Make sure to also check the trust section in their profiles ^{[both Trusted/Untrusted feedback seections]}.}

I would like to be considered to be added to your list.

I accept BTC, BCH, LTC or Dash - and may consider other altcoins as the situation/need arises. I have 211 merit at present and I have 100% trust rating for any deal I have been part of on the forums whether as a buyer, seller or escrow provider (+9 atm - equal to or higher than approx 20% of your current list) I charge a 1% fee

My thread with terms/conditions is here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/offering-escrow-services-5154480

Thanks!

Looking for escrow that can accept tether. Need to protect 517usd deal.
