How can a member like myself with several successful trades get added to this list?What kind of verification needs to be done,if any?I'd like to offer myself as a future escrow for a fee (I'll need to think before setting a fee though) as I think it's a good way to demonstrate that I'm trustworthy (to the best of my knowledge anyway).

I'm assuming you didn't read my last reply... "this list" was an idea that never saw the light of day, really. Just offer your services in the Forum, I guess, and people will tell you what verification they deem needed, but be prepared to offer some real life data for any non-trivial amount.

i need an escrow...please pm me asap i got a buyer that i dont want to loose

Nice necro-bump

This idea of mine never picked up so this is likely a bad place to seek such service. I'm afraid I can't offer much advice either, but the Forum is full of escrow offers, just make sure you are careful and do a little investigation of your own on the chosen member history before sending anything!

well, i'm an individual, who happens to be a designer/programmer

...but i get your point, you want the human element whereas sites like mine are designed to be automated.

Hmmm, yes and no. I have no quarrel with the automated interface, my issue is with the lack of obvious connection to you. It's your service, not yourself, although the difference is only important because you aren't mentioned anywhere on the service's pages that I could find. It might be moot, and I'll be happy to add you to the list (which I'm not sure has served anyone to date), sometimes I'm dense this way.

hi nelisky, i know i'm not on your list, but for those that know me, there is now one more option: http://thrucoin.com

Hey. That's great, the more the better. This particular thread is for individuals willing to escrow, but I certainly appreciate the information.

There is nothing wrong with the existing escrow services, except I don't know/trust those behind them, so it's square one all over again.

Willing to escrow transactions (4% fee) require PGP signed contract (supplied) by buyer and seller and/or physically signed contract. Will also accept notarized contracts scanned and sent via e-mail.

4% come on man, 3% at best...2.5% is a very good number I think. Anything over $200 5% is fair due to risk.

Buy this account on March-2019. New Owner here!!

I would like to nominate nextshare. He has a proven and documented track record for being honest while doing business online ( gpg_identity=http://www.bitshift.io/forum.asc)

I can also speak for at least 5 or 6 transactions I conducted with him myself. In every transaction I purchased something off of him worth $150-$200 and in every transaction I paid him Bitcoins up front and he shipped the items as promised - the items were always honestly portrayed and he always conducted himself in an honest and trust worthy fashion. I have been on these forums for 6 months and completed many business deals - I consider nextshare to be among the most trustworthy people I have dealt with. He also has some medical problems that may prevent him from working so making a little income as an escrow middle man would be a good opportunity for him. He is a honest and moral person and For these reasons I feel that he would be an ideal person for this escrow league.

Where I live, notarized contracts require the presence of both parties and cost more than 30 EUR...

I did not know that was the case in the EU. For EU customers that would not be an option.

Here in the United States the notary validates your signature and that you were the individual present attesting to the contract that you sign in front of them. If more than one signature is needed and the buyer and seller are remote, each can sign the contract separately as long as both get their individual signatures notarized. I have done this for many real-estate and other transactions requiring contracts.

QUIFAS EXCHANGE

Totally fucking agree, Escrow FTW... anything over $100 by new/untrusted members instant escrow, no IF's or BUT's. IF someone refuses well you know they are not good for anything.

I'll be requesting a 1 week escrow for my next currency exchange which will be soon, It's quite a bit of money and I just want gift cards in exchange so 1 week holding the money to prove they are real/not stolen/hacked.

@nelisky suggested that I should spam this thread with this link: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/biz-idea-rfc-international-cash-transfer-via-a-bitcoin-based-network-48704

We need your input on the system proposed and, if you'll like it, the support of the legendary "Escrow League"

mndrix of CoinPal (RIP) is pretty trustworthy, and has been used to hold bonds in the past.

Because this discussion is starting to get deep, how would we get Eptiv in on this? I mean, it's an escrow service and it's simple to use(like clearcoin, but not like clearcoin). I run half. spleeder runs the other half.

I guess that the message to BTCrow applies to Eptiv too. Can you think of a way to run the service but have the coins transfered to one of the League members, give him some admin interface for the transaction so he could say "coins received" (although knowing the address you could sniff the blockchain too) and then when the buyer receives the goods an email gets sent to the coin holder to release the funds (stating the address to do so clearly on a page where both buyer and escrow can see it?).

You could potentially have this as an optional thing when someone uses the escrow service:
- use our escrow service (1% fee)
- use our service with coins held by davout (1.25% fee)
etc

I doubt Spleeder would do that since he doesn't know you from the next person. Wouldn't matter anyhow since the code saves the coins on the site. However if you click on the banner it will take you to the site and you'll notice transactions cost 1% no matter the size.

Correct. I want newbies/members to become involved without the risks of the scams going on. The more trade that is facilitated and more newbies that get involved the more robust Bitcoin becomes and my return is that my investment of time and money becomes more secure.

Edit: If escrow/trade parties wish to offer me some bitcents as a thanks that would be accepted, but not required.
