Please give me more details about the transaction.
You can also contact me via Telegram and Discord, but make sure to send coins ONLY to addresses signed by 1yogg7RkwrSsh1UNi5jw3oUALHBaP4KrX !


Thank you.
Why not ? It makes me happy to help and protect people from getting scammed.

Thanks yogg and Stivenson for smooth trade.
Best escrow ever.

Confirm that.
Happy to deal with yogg and ankit10!

Thank you both for the smooth trade. :)
I wish all transactions to be like this one !!

Can you help as escrow with something that I want to sell on another forum? Or is it only for deals made on this forum?

If I can contact the buyer and the seller, and they both agree to the terms, why not. :)

Oke, thanks.

I will let you know when I need your services as I haven't found a buyer yet for the product I am trying to sell.

I am used this escrow service for selling verified bittrex account and everything was smooth and just as planned. Trusted escrow, fast response, best escrow service on bitcointalk.

Hi Yogg do you offer escrow services outside of bitcointalk?

It depends on the trade, but yes, I may be able to help.
Please tell me more about the trade you have in mind.

Hello yogg!

I am trying to start a small business selling miners and related equipment. I am interested in whether or not you would provide escrow service for sales to my customers. I am new in digital currency business, and on this forum. I will be low volume for a while as I try to build up capital to get larger, but probably one or two miners per month right now - if that.

Also, I have never used an escrow service before - but understand the need for someone with little history to go on like myself - but also, I must be careful to not be scammed as well. The question here, is how exactly does this work? I assume my customer would send you BTC, then when I know you have BTC, then I send you or them the items. Once you or them get the items, then you release the BTC to me? Or other?

Also, when doing this - does this help increase my own trust score - so if after doing this for some transactions - will I be getting a better trust score so that in the longer term I may not need to do escrow as my trust score will be satisfactory to customers?

I don't even mind paying you some fee to do this. I see others who charge a small fee.

Anyway, please help me understand the logistics and if you would be interested.

Thanks!

Hi Ameador1,

Yes, I believe I can help you.

You got the concept of escrow right : your customer send the funds to one of my escrow addresses (signed by my primary address starting with 1yogg (as in the 1st post of this thread)).
Then I confirm the payment to you so you can send the hardware to the buyer. When the buyer confirms the reception of the items he ordered, I release the payment to you. Simple. :)

It certainly helps to increase your trust and the legitimacy towards your business, since it shows that you are not interested into getting some coins fast and run away to never be seen again.

The trust score is based off the Positive feedbacks you receive from other members of the board. In the long term if you are trusted enough, yes you could trade without a need for an escrow but that means people sending the coins to you before you ship : you understand this will happen only if you are very trusted.

There is no exception for anyone and I will not charge a fee. However, I do appreciate tips very much. :)

If you have any question, feel free to ask !

Regards,
yogg

What happens if the customer says they didn't get it or it was not what they thought it was or something to that effect? In other words, how do I keep protected from them trying to scam by not acknowledging receiving the item? That's why I was wondering if the item goes to you first, then to them. I am trying to get lined up to sell Antminer S9 units and related parts. They are so expensive right now for on hand units. I think there are as many scammers selling as there are scammers buying.

I have had a friend sell the unit with a PSU - and clarified that it did not come with a power cord, but the customer was all upset that it did not come with a power cord which caused them lost earnings, etc... but refused to send the item back for a refund and still lodged a complaint with my friends selling platform (dhgate.com). Scammers can always find a way to argue some irrational point - or even just uneducated customers.

I'm just interested in how things of this nature are handled- the safer for everyone the better. These are large ticket items - and I want smooth, easy, and protected sells - which in turn should make the buyers happy.

Thanks!

Well, in this case an investigation is opened. In case of a dispute, both parties supply elements to help me decide what to do with the coins.

We can also put another chain in place : you can send the miner to me so I reship to the buyer. When I receive the hardware, I send you the BTC and resend the parcel to the buyer. Tracked & insured if buyer wants it that way. If you think these terms are acceptable, you can conduct business in such a way. We can try with one item first, then you'll see. :)
In this case, to do physical escrow, I will ask you for a fee.

I want to help you make your business easier. :)
Yes, there are many scammers, and associate ourselves to do business is a neat idea.

I assume you are located in the US? I see your location is "in the US". I would not want to have to export to in turn have you re-import items to the US.

I understand that you would want to charge a fee if I send the miner to you for you to pass along to the customer. Fair bit more work on your part. So you would ask the customer to pay you to cover shipping from you to them. You'de have to get the shipping rate based on your location to them. Makes sense.

Do you have an idea what amount you would want in that case? Say for a single miner and PSU? I mean, I assume it would really be on an individual basis - 1 miner, 3 miners, psu, etc... Would be more or less difficult and time-consuming to deal with - but just to give me an idea.

I appreciate your time answering my questions - other escrowers have been less than accommodating.

Thanks!

Hello Ameador1,

I was busy today.
Let me PM you so we can work through the details. :)

Hi yogg,

I am selling a relatively low value item https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2859356.0
in the goods section and need to have a escrow service in place.
the value will be no greater than $100 (still to be decided)
is this something you can handle?

thanks in advance.

Hello eyesopen,

Yes, sure.
As long as the term of the transaction are clear, there is no problem. :)
Feel free to PM me or post here when you have come to an agreement with a buyer.

Good luck with your sales !

Hello,

I sent you a message on telegram as I'm looking for a simple escrow

Hello !
I have replied to your message on Telegram when I got it. :)
Thanks for reaching out.

/!\ Update :

As of today, I won't be escrowing transactions for free anymore. My rates are now 1% of the escrowed amount, or 0.002BTC, whatever is higher.

Thank you for your comprehension.
I wish you all to deal carefully, and be successful in your trades ! :)

Vouch for Yogg....Solid as they come  :)

Thank you very much for your kind words Krogoth. :)

Hey,

I am trying to sell 37 BTC to a trader. I want to make sure that I won't be scammed. He offered an escrow service that just didn't seem right to me (website started up only 8 weeks ago, no reviews, no proper info).

I am willing to pay the fee for the added security.

Would you be interested in this transaction?

Best regards,

W.

Hello W,

Yes, I can help you here.
You were right to reject the suspicious escrow website that claims to hold onto your coins for you.

Can you please tell me the buyer's username, so I can setup the transaction ?
More details will be explained within the PMs I'll be sending to both of you, and in the mean time, if you have any question, feel free to ask. :)
You can chose if you want to publicly disclose some of the transaction details, or keep it private.

Best regards,
yogg

Hello yogg,

Just read your topic and before that I was refereed to a topic and I found you from there. Hope you are doing well. We are working to assemble the escrow team for our upcoming project. We would love to hear about your interest. Please feel free to response the following topic.

The above was the reference to contact you. Feel free to response the topic or PM me.

Thanks.
 

Hello inPRIVACYweBELIEVE,

Thank you for your interest in my service.
Please can you tell me who else is involved with that escrow team you mention ?
Is it in the context of a project .. ? Please PM me more infos about it.

I am available for escrow. :)

Hello yogg!
I wrote you a personal message, but it remained unanswered.
And the question is very important!
In the current situation, I can not even use your services, as people are confused by the Trust .... not to mention more.

Hello Andrey,
I replied to your PM.
Let me be very clear : I don't trust you and you wasted my time already.
There is a right I reserve for myself, which is to deny escrow requests I don't like.
If you need an escrow, please ask someone else. I do not wish to trade with you.

Yogg acted as an escrow for a 90$ deal. He acted professionally and helped in conducting the trade smoothly.

Thank you very much for your kind words. :)
