Changelog:

April 8th, 2020: Blazr has been flagged (and removed from the list until issue is solved):

Quote

Lauda alleges: Due largely to the factors mentioned in this topic, I believe that anyone dealing with Blazr is at a high risk of losing money, and guests would be well-advised to avoid doing so. This determination is based on concrete red flags which any knowledgeable & reasonable forum user should agree with, and it is not based on the user's opinions.

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

You should send pm to escrow providers from the list directly...

Unfortunately, I don't have an easy answer to this.

I just started a poll (see top of this topic) so members from this community may manifest their views on that matter...

Suggestions in order to change the calculation are welcome.

What would you suppose we might change (and how)?

In this case, might be the most relevant though only to count trust based on Escrow service feedback.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Do you have in mind any way more efficient than checking every user's trust section and counting one-by-one manually?

Still in top 5 ...

I liked my rating last time.

I'd like to point out that 5/6th of your positive DT feedback is based on Trust selfscratching. Without this, your 10.9 Score would drop to 7.6, which mean you'd share Rank 11 and 12 instead of 5.

It doesn't seem right to use the Trust rating you've inflated by yourself to increase your Grade from A to AA.

@Financisto: I've only looked at one account because I noticed Dabs' post. It would be really nice if you can adjust all grades for the effect of "Trust selfscratching".

Your point here (about Trust selfscratching) is very interesting and valid.

Thank you for your collaboration!

Hello, I’m a new member and looking for mostly for bulk Ebay gift cards through a secure escrow.
Please help me pointing out someone doing escrow for digital goods especially EBay e-Gift cards.
Thank you very much

Hello my friend,

Escrow providers in "cryptoland" tend not to work with stuff that might suffer from chargeback/expiration/invalidation or anything like that.

Nevertheless I suggest that you approach each person from this list individually and ask if it's possible though...

Looks like zazarb is taking 1%, but has a minimum fee of 5mBTC.

Screen of a PM from a recent trade offer I was trying to do. You should confirm with him and maybe update the table! Cheers.

I'm gonna check it out and update soon...

Thx in advance...
