Bitcoin Block Explorer now easily allows the possibility of an escrow service.  The escrow service can see who is paying who.  Win.  Any takers?

No BTC offers = no incentives.

That's wrong. There are lots of types of incentives that are not bitcoins up front.

Right now people are relying on reputation.  But if you have no reputation you could use the escrow service.  Escrow service could make some money off of each trade.

Its a great idea. If someone claims they sent an amount to an address its impossible to lie about it. Real verifiable proof of delivery.

Try and get that with paypal.  :P

isnt escow normally used when exchanging btc for something else ?
So while you can verify that a BTC payment was made, you cant verify ie. if the parcel was shipped.
