I need to send >5 bitcoin to a stranger on the Internet in return for some digital goods (nothing illegal).

Has anybody used btcrow.com as an Escrow service for trading and can they be trusted to hold my bitcoin?

I have used it in the past and it is good, but I don't know how are disputed handled on the site. With such big amounts, I would always recommend using an escrow on bitcointalk. They are always much more safer and can help settle disputes in an efficient manner.

Ok thanks. Any recommendations for an escrow on bitcointalk? How would that work?

You can see the list here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0
And how it works?
[CMIIW] Each escrow have their own rules, but usually the buyer send the Bitcoin to escrow and the seller send the goods to the buyer. If the buyer says the goods is arrived and nothing wrong with it, then the escrow will send the Bitcoin to the seller.

I'm getting no response from the website's email address. Gona have to use somebody else.

There are lots of them. Some of the good ones you can use are devthedev (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=136592) , escrow.ms  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76380) , master-p (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=89329)
 , Tomatocage (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=37522)

escrow.ms currently isn't providing escrow services but you're right, they all are very trusted but if I were to recommend I would say devthedev, tomatocage.

Here's another list: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0

I'd be happy to use a trusted forum member but I'm not sure that the seller would.

What about SafePayBTC.com?
Has anybody used these guys?

why you not pay him in Cash on delivery ? that better than use escrow
we can ceck before pay

that trusted yesterday my friend use it and working perfec :)

Anyone used this service recently?

Never even seen the name come by, but I'd recommend an escrow service provided by one of the users here :)

I think better u use sebastianju or some high trusted escrow at bitcointalk,
im never use that site, but if you want use it i hope u get luck :)

I used it recently with large amounts (over 100 BTC) without problems.

I'd rather use bitrated.com - it's P2P, each side can choose their trusted escrow agents and it's more trustless than any other service around in my opinion

There are lots of members here who have provided escrow for greater than 100 btc at a time. Don't go over the escrow fees in here also you may know always the Paid service is better than free one. There are lots of link to escrow list provided in above posts so I dont have to give it. Search the trusted member.

i agree. you need trusted member.

There's already been quite a few scam reports on btcrow.com; just stay as far away as possible from them. Forum escrows have done the job completely well and handled large amounts of bitcoin.

not really. there are just too many scandals around forum escrows, see quickseller as the latest example. there are better alternatives in my opinion

From what I have heard here and there, rumors say that they are selective scammers, which pick out the ones, who most likely wont report them.

This is just a rumor, I am not saying its as scam.

"Scam"?

No, The only thing are delays in releasing funds during the stress test.


Nobody can say that.

BTCrow.com is a scammer and after their latest fraud, posted about here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1260582) at bitcointalk...they are running away.
