Topic: Prevention is better than a cure. Please escrow. - page 14. (Read 308314 times)
Its better not to trust anyone online because the biggest threat would be the same that you have faith in someone and he will cheat you this goes with personal life also and internet is ocean of information so cant afford to trust anyone So its better to play safe.
There are many scams happening around us so its better to play safe. I suggest to use escrow services as it is safe and trustworthy. Y should we pay our hard earned money to those scammers its better to be smart and wise before investing in anything. So Prevention is always better than a cure.

Any good escrow websites?
I don't suggest you to use a website for escrowing. It is better to use in-forum escrowers.
A list of escrowers can be seen here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcointalk-escrows-trade-safely-855778.

Im totally agree on this point that prevention is better than cure...
It's all about trust.
I figured out that trading for BTC is similar as trading for money.
Trust and confidence are in charge!

Now a days I said to the clients to keep the money in escrow. It's safe and secure.
Hungarian escrow is here?
Great info. Love the title. Thanks for trying to keep this place safe. Lord knows we need all the help we can get.
Thanks for the OP and updates. Thanks to the Mods that stickied this so everyone knows (including me). Use an escrow for sales.

can anyone will help mr eith this escrow.thing.....I wanna know what is it and how it works
Escrow is a a bond, deed, or other document kept in the custody of a third party and taking effect only when a specified condition has been fulfilled. That is, suppose you want to sell 1BTC for $222. You will send your 1BTC to a trusted person for escrowing it. When buyer sends you $222 into your account, you will tell the escrower that you received the money. Then the escrower releases the 1BTC to the buyer's Bitcoin address. This is how escrow works.

Maybe we should change the original post in this thread to something more informative.
I didn't know what an "escrow" was when I signed up here. People will see "Please escrow" and won't know what it is.
Maybe add a simple explanation?

Great job ! Create an awareness about using escrow. i always use their services and everyone that buys/sells should do it also:)
Hello,
Just wondering: how can you be sure that the seller doesn't know the escrow? I mean, the escrow list is not that big and moreover the same escrow can be hidden under different usernames. Also, i noticed that there are only three or four "large" sellers of Casascius coins in this forum. So, even if the buyer choose the escrow, is there a risk that the the seller "knows" the escrow?
Am i becoming paranoiac?
What do experts think about it?
Cheers,

As one that has sold many Casascius Coins on the forum, I have performed both escrow'ed and non-escrowed trades. There are a few members on the forum that are well known for their escrow service and have handled 100's of BTC for transactions. If you do not feel comfortable, contact some of the members and ask them about their process. I have used DannyHamilton and OgNasty for both buying and selling. I do not know them other than their professionalism in performing escrow transactions for me.
Yes, there is a risk anytime you make a transaction with parties you do not know, but escrow with an agent who has a perfect feedback in the area reduces the risk greatly. I have done enough trades and have earned the good feedback that many times I perform trades with others with similar earned trust without escrow.

Escrow is a dying dog... Why use a middle man when you can use smart contracts that were just release in Bitbay.
I've used escrow many times... and every time there was issues... First the escrow agent went AWOL and made me wait a few days to get paid, in the mean time btc price dropped and I lost money.
Bitbay and smart contracts are the new escrows!
GAME OVER!

There's a list in the op but it's not incredibly up to date. Check the Services section for people offering escrows but only use them if they have plenty of feedback and evidence of previous trades.
