Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone.

I've decided to start my own escrow service on this forum. The goal is simple -- to make the community a safer place for transactions.

Since I may not be the highest ranking member (or escrow) on this forum, I'd like to start with small deals (less than 100$) to escrow first. As I gain more reputation as an escrow, I will start helping with bigger deals and create a more substantial escrow thread.

If you are in need of an escrow currently, please do leave a comment here AND PM me as well. It's much easier to see notifications in my message inbox.

For the first few deals, I'll be experimenting with what works best for an escrow service (in terms of messaging etiquette and order of operations), but this will not affect your deal in any way.

Feel free to contact me when you need a free escrow service!

NOTE: I will not be dealing with illegal goods/digital goods!

Hi player514

Could you act as escrow for this deal with this member here?

I have already pmd them about it and was going to go the escrow route.

If you can contact him about it then that will kick it off to get this completed easier.
Since we have done a deal before in the past I trust in your service.

Thanks.

Absolutely. I'll be sending you a message now.

It is really healthy to have additional escrow service being offered by BTT members simply because of much needed service and be able to gain trust reputation which nowadays is hard to achieve. Good luck some day I will need your service.

Yes, adding an escrow service cannot harm the forums; I came to that conclusion in a thread I created on the marketplace forums if you want to discuss the additions of escrows to our forums. Will be a pleasure to help you out with your deal when the time comes!

Good choice starting out small and earning the trust before going for bigger stuff. Good luck!

It's good to have more escrow services around especially if you spend most of your time online.

But IMO you need to improve your OP and add stuff like:

What kind of deals would you escrow and what not. For example I would suggest you to not accept account trading as account are usually used for bad stuff. But for example if you decide to take account deals - would you tag the accounts. And so on.

Good luck in your project

Thank you for the kind words of encouragement!


Yes, you're definitely right. I'm glad that I've got the community to help out while I'm starting off. I will absolutely not deal with anything illegal and whatnot. Thanks for the tip and heads up! Really appreciate it.

Bump. Please deal with caution and do not hesitate to contact me for escrow services.
