what is an escrow account and how do i get an escrow account

you cant just get an escrow account. you have to be trusted by the forum to even be cconsidered trusted enough to hold peoples money. youre a newbie and highly doubful anyone would contactyou to hold funds

also, big point that people seem to miss: you dont escrow deals to gain trust, you escrow deals because you are trusted.

escrow acts as the middleman in any transaction. Gain reputation and trust.

Its fairly hard to become an escrow from the ground up . From what I see there are only 2 reasons to become an escrow . 1 . To charge a fee to act as an escrow and offer those services professionally.
2. To protect the community from scams.

Either way , the community now has sufficient number of escrows and doing it for the 1st wouldn't do much good as people tend to just stick to the already reputed ones.
Becoming an escrow is not a problem , but you should still focus on developing a reputation on the forum for one and after many deals consider becoming one.

i agreed with twipple. It's not easy to be an escrow, must have a good reputation (this is a hard thing for me), And also must be an honest. :)

well this depend on the amount if you escrow for increasing your trust but you do it sistematically with big amount everytime, you are obviously  trusted, one that handle 1k bitcoin(for example) for each transaction, can not be not trustable ever...

Actually how to prepare to be an escrow? Because I see a lot an escrow use pgp and use a hardware wallet for received the amount. Anyone can answer this?

It is answered by the upper users! Please read them through! One day you come to escrow, you will experience the escrow process and understand them!

Don't worry about that right now.  Right now, you don't have enough reputation for people to trust you and use your services in their transaction.

its actually pretty hard to build rep and get people to know you, there is a lot time that has to be put into it, mostly interacting with people on the forum and building up your trust rating at some point.

If you are looking for how to get an escrow account, you should also be looking for how to increase your personality, gaining loyalist here by not scamming them during deal and thereby building your trust rates because YOU ARE THE ESCROW ACCOUNT THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.

what if the parties invovled are from different countries and their payment agreement is to be in cash are escrows also available for that???
