Can you recommend some official escrow services for btc?

there isn't any official escrow service.

Search escrow in this forum.

However you can find escrow providers here.

I can do no-fee escrow, but only in amounts of 25BTC.
All escrow goes thru my business, and is subsequently charged CGT by UK tax for the length of time I hodl it.
This is my meagre offering to the BTC community, and i'm happy to pay all tax due, so all you need to pay is the normal transaction fees. (0.0001 to deposit to the escrow address and 0.0001 to allow me to transfer the funds to the recipient)

business name:

The Scribe (Europe)

Business address:

upon request.

All we are striving for is a proper and fair self-regulation. You should realise that it is in my best interest to get the escrow released as quickly as possible, the longer I hold it, the more tax I pay on it.

What do you think about BitQuick?

There is no official escrow services.

There are quite of number of people offering escrow services with different fees. You may pick a trusted member with history of good trades and good escrows.

That John John K guy is good but takes REALLY LONG TO PROCESS ESCROWS....

John K regularly goes MIA apparently so I'd advise against using him.

i can confirm, i am escrow service

What does MIA means?

Beeing an escrow must be a pretty nice job! You help people and get some fees without much risks

Apparently : "2nd         28         0         0         266         19.90         escrow.ms         Bitcoin         N/A         Free "

seems like a good choice : second in the classement made by squall1066 and free

similar to AWOL

Missing in Action.

Yes I would figure it is better to choose someone that takes a fee but is very active; I would advise to be careful to understand the service you are getting; using an escrow could mean the seller or the buyer is well protected to the detriment of the other concern; trade safely ;)

Kluge is a good escrowee but may be busy with other important escrows.

i can confirm, i am escrow

Everyone BE VERY CAREFUL OF USING AN EXCROW PERSON ON THIS FORUM.

There is an EXTREMELY well know escrow provider who just disappeared recently. If you DO enlist a bitcointalk user to hold your escrow, be SURE there is a mechanism to get paid if that person disappears.

I've seen people learn this the hard way. Single person escrow means VERY LITTLE.

BTW, in general just be very careful on this site. People WILL steal from you. Even those with a LOT of history and trust.

I'll say it again - don't trust ANY single individual on this site. Anyone can become a scammer at any time - it happens far more than you think.



LOL!!! Yeah, "i am escrow" too!

In french escrow (wrote escroc) means crook http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/escroc

What is the username of the well know escrow provide who disappeared?

Thansk for the tips that was very helpful! Found one ;)

np

-from an escrow

John K - he was already mentioned up thread a ways.

Right John K, he seems to be unprofessional for an escrow asking for a fee of 1.5% but not a crook :

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=412061.0 he reappeared and gave back the 1000BTC he was holding for Bitcointalk/Theymos

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141672.0 : his escrow service thread

A good escrow should not be unreachable for an extended period of time and let his customers wait

i am looking for escrow
what is the next move ?

I agree no one should be using John K for now, well indeed you can't even contact him now lol.
He hasn't logged in his account for over 1 month, and come back on Jan 12 to release 1000btc to theymos, and is now gone again....

hm...no trade history lol...

i am spartacus.

Hello spartacus,
I am Smileyftw and i am looking for escrow services
pm me

PM me!

Choose one from the trusted list. Don't deal with escrowers who have little or no trades. That's counter-productive.

Exactly.
You can just pick someone from this thread, who have positive trust, good trade/escrow history and is active.

i am escrow startup, an honest guy trying to do his first trade!

I wouldn't say anyone has an official escrow service  from my experience .  More like members of the forum offering a service trying to build trust.  So they can become established as someone who will not run off with the funds and continue conducting business with others.
