Re-applying

Hi Bitcointalk,

Thanks to all the feedback and suggestions collected within all beta testing campaigns across different forums, we are closer than ever to perfecting our User Selected Arbitration feature. We still need a few more tests to be done before the official release of the feature and onboarding of our first agents.

So, feel free to apply now and contribute to developing the perfect escrow tool.

The second contract for this week has been created on Binance Smart Chain. Mr.suevie has been invited to it as an escrow agent.

My review :

The contract & dispute:

There was a disupute regarding the contract "Contest campaign management service on Bitcointalk".
Contract description: "Seller will design, launch and manage a contest on Bitcointalk.org on our behalf. Seller will be paid upon contest completion through this escrow contract."

I reviewed the chat. Both parties agreed to the contract at the start, as their conversation indicates. After 7 days, Buyer wrote to complain that the campaign for which Seller had been hired had not had the desired commercial repercussions and was dissatisfied with the service offered. Seller explains to Buyer that he was responsible for the design, but not for the success of the campaign as per contract description.

As the contract is not subject to a success quota, I consider that Seller has fulfilled the contract: he designed, launched and managed the contest on bitcointalk, he did what he was hired for. I therefore donate the funds to Seller minus the agent's 1% commission.


Suggestions and comments:

-In the "Profile", it might be useful to add a "last active" or "last connection" section, so that the agent/user can anticipate a response time. Likewise, a small section for other means of contact would be nice (although this can be done by modifying the bio).

-Would you consider creating a bot? on telegram for example? that could be practical. I think we could quickly run out of notifications "external" to the platform and therefore reactivity, especially if contracts expire soon or if a agent is waiting for an urgent answer.

-Your documentation is rich and precise, kudos guys! Are you thinking of creating a more "general" FAQ ? it could redirect to the documentation at some points, but something more "brief". I think it could be more begginer-friendly.

-You could let agents set fees at 0% if they wanted, so they could handle small contracts easily and build their reputation on the platform. I don't know if people will be all willing to give a percentage to an unknown agent who doesn't have a review.

-You could include a hyperlink to the Buyer/Seller profile on the Contract page.
"Contractee (buyer):" "Contractor (seller):".
Would be great to be able to click on "buyer" "seller" and access their profile directly from there.

-Otherwise it's not really problematic, but I wanted to point out that I have a red "The operation was aborted." message that appears in the bottom right-hand corner of every page I open in the Zenland App. It doesn't affect the platform functionnalities in any way though.

Conclusion :
I didn't encounter any difficulties during the whole process, everything was clear and smooth. Bravo, it's an excellent idea and a good platform. If you continue to listen to the community, and to provide good work like that, I think you have a bright future in the sector.

My review for this new experience as a custom agent :

Well, I was invited for a disputed case as it appeared on my notifications list, on a 1 USDT exchange to USD in Payoneer case on Polygon Network.

First, I had to check and read all the chat multiple times to understand everything and find who’s trying to scam the other. So here the buyer who created the contract with these details:

Is trying to receive 1 USD to his Payoneer account In exchange of 1 USDT that is already been reserved in the contracts.

First thing, I have checked the contractor and contractee profiles, and found out that

The buyer is very active on ZenLand and has many finished contracts which makes him more trusted than the seller who is having his first contract and it’s being disputed. (it’s just a point but doesn’t determine who’s trying to scam the other )

The seller is claiming to send the 1$ to the buyer address « [email protected] » so the contract state was signed and changed to fulfilled. The buyer than didn’t receive the funds as he claimed after almost an hour, also he was claiming that the screenshot sent to him is fake. That’s why he opened a case and disputed the contract.

My conclusion :
The Seller is a scammer, he didn’t send any money using Payoneer to the buyer .
Why? Because first Payoneer sending money limit is 50$ as a minimum to send.
Second, the screenshot the seller sent was obviously fake from a Paypal account.
Maybe the buyer didn’t notice the terms of Payoneer for sending a minimum of 50$ at least, but the seller here  definitely didn’t send any money. And that’s my job to only detect who is true and who’s lying.

Here the seller deserves 0% of the funds, the agent will only take 1%, and 99% for the buyer.

My honest review about the whole experience was really perfect and didn’t face any issues. The contract settlement approved in few seconds without any issue.
You will only need experienced agents to review every dispute and check the details of every case, the good thing is you can ask for more details and easily settle the case.

It’s a great thing to see you once again here, you are really doing a great job in creating a perfect solution for  escrow services.

The first contract for the fourth week has been created on Polygon. GxSTxV has been invited to it as an escrow agent.

Nice, but maybe you could consider using a system like on Agoradesk: like an auto-deletion of the contracts after a period of time. I mentioned Agoradesk because they state at the beggining of each chat "this chat will be saved for 180 days in case of dispute etc...etc..". This could help regarding the privacy problem.
Maybe 30 ou 60 days would be enough, but the idea is the same.

All the best with the ongoing test campaign!

Thank you once more to users who took the time to go through the arbitration process and post their reviews.

The campaign is ongoing and as usual, we will soon review all previous applications over and post the next list of accepted listers. Meanwhile, we'll be happy to have more applications from new users interested in testing out how being a Zenland agent works.

We wish everybody a great weekend,
Zenland Team

Hello. I want to personally thank everyone who completed the review with our new custom agent feature.

Also, I wanted to let you know that as soon as we conclude our beta test campaign, we will launch the official Zenland Custom Agents of Bitcointalk Thread.




At the beginning, we thought that keeping resolved dispute cases in an agent's profile might be a privacy issue. However, since we received many requests, we've updated the permissions for agents to view their old resolved contracts. Now agents will be able to see their contracts after they have been resolved.

---

There was a problem with rendering the reputation page for agents, but everything should work fine now.
Here is how the agent reputation page looks like - Agent Reputation Page
Here is how a regular user reputation page looks like - User Reputation Page

We are planning to expand the analytics for the agent reputation page to make it easier for contract parties to choose the right agent. We need more people using Zenland to gather the data.

---

Agent's decision is final. Once the money is sent from the contract, the case is closed. There is no appeal system as for now, but we currently have two options:

First, if a custom agent is bribed: We are launching custom agent features on Bitcointalk because here we have a community. If the buyer/seller believes that the contract was resolved unfairly, they can open a scam thread here on the forum, and we will double-check everything from our side and disable the agent if necessary.

The second option is the Zenland Forum, where custom agents will be submitting difficult cases to solve. As a community, we can help find the right consensus in more complex cases. These cases can be used as a precedent by other custom agents to help solve cases more efficiently in the future.

Also, the smart contract is build in a way that once the agent is invited into the contract, only agent can send money out of the contract. Buyer and seller loses rights to release the money.

---

In Contract Details, the buyer protection time is static to show the counterparty all the contract details before approving it. It's very important to read the draft contract before approving it.

---

Yes, we designed it so the buyer will not 'burn the money out of spite by never releasing it', as Satoshi once said here Bitcointalk Thread. If the buyer is not satisfied with the delivery, instead of freezing the money, they can always dispute the contract and stop the buyer protection time.

---

Thank you, TryNinja, for your thorough review. We need more testers like you. The incorrect positioning of Seller/Buyer/Agent fields is fixed. New tooltips for the agent page are added. The TypeError on the nickname check is also fixed. Agents can now see their old contracts.

---

I have personally changed the terms in the chat and in most notifications from Contractee to Buyer and Contractor to Seller. The only place these labels are left is on the contract creation page.

---

Thank you for your contributions. I'm adding them to our To-Do list.
