Title: Cheap Escrow/ Safe guarantee service
Post by: adraza on July 21, 2011, 10:18:09 AM
I intend to sell smth and I want to accept BTC.
The first problem that arrives is the TRUST. BTC payment is really hard (=irreversible)? so the buyer is suspicious that I may be a scammer.
The long and slow solution is to build trust with time, small transactions first, and then I may be trusted.

Another solution would be a middle man, and I am willing to pay a fee for that but I was thinking a fee between 0.5%-0.00% from the value of transaction. Until now, I did not find anyone.

ClearCoin was filling that need for a while but then it closed, so there weren't alternatives.

There are now, though none are free like ClearCoin was (for smaller amounts)

Yeah it's damn shame ClearCoin is closed now, I was planning to use it myself. Now I'm looking for escrow service too.
