So I'm still technically a newbie as I don't post. I've been a long time observer here and I'll be setting up a low fee automated escrowing service.

For any who would like to use me as an escrow before the site goes live here are my fees:

0.5% (Minimum 0.01 btc) per transaction.
When the site is set up, the fee will be 1%, with 0.5% returned on a successful transaction which did not require mediation.
I belive with a little automation, we should be able to open up escrow to be used on almost any transaction. as 0.01 is now c.$30.

Thanks

Electricity is really just organized lightning
so mods don't charge for escrow service and it's more reliable than pax or blockchain escrow?

We charge, yes. 1% of the transaction amount, or 0.01 BTC, whichever is the greater. It is not usually moderators that escrow (in most cases), but users with loads of trade history and reputation, and are members that are generally trusted by the forum as a whole.

You will find that if you choose the right escrow person/team, your funds are always safe. Much safer than trading between individual users with little trust.

Please have a look at the link in my signature, "CET" is a team compromised of 4 members with a vast combined knowledge of Bitcoin/Altcoins, and escrowing physical and digital items.

By the way, there are other escrows out there on this forum, but nearly all will charge you a small fee of at least 1%.

It is better and easier to stop a problem from happening than to stop it after it has started.

In order for us to avoid veing scammed, i do believe that escrow is a big help. as long as this person is trusted as well. the problem sometime is both parties are afraid to be scammed and even if both are trusted both ensures not to fall into scammers hand so better use a person whom both can trust, both and not just one side because escrow can also be the scammer. so beware!

It is better to prevent than to cure. Nowadays, a lot of diseases spreading due to the different pollution. Not just a disease that need to prevent, we have to prevent also our finances and of course ourselves. We need to be watchful when it comes to this, for us not to fall to debt that might be hard to cure.

Thats exactly what the problem is of the people at most of the forums , they dont know how to deal online and after they are scammed they blame the forum to have bad members and dont see what they are doing .

this!!

and remember there are accounts setup to look the same as an existing account (been done on me a few times) so take a few seconds to look at member details (join date/reputation/post history) to make sure its the right person/escrow.

also, this forum allows the selling of ANY accounts, make it a little harder to check if you're dealing with a sold account or not. is why I do not allow on my forum.

I just used philipma1957 as an escrow buying an S7 from Introvert. This is mt first deal on this forum and I must say that it is going VERY smooth! Both philipma1957 and introvert are very open and straightforward with what is happening so we all know where the deal stands and there are no doubts about who is doing what. Highly recommend philipma1957 as an escrow.

YA! its true that prevention is better than cure. In practicing anything new for the first it is a must to gather all the info regarding the same and be prepared for any sort of inappropriate to happen, b watchful Roll Eyes

Yes, don't blindly rush into a sale...Cross check and research anyone you're buying from or selling to. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
