Bitcoin Forum

Hey everyone.

I've noticed that there has been a smaller number of scams (at least from what I've seen) than there used to be in the past year or so.

However, this made me think if the forum still had a need for escrow services or not. On one hand, if the scams are lowering, it doesn't make sense to flood the forums with escrows. However, on the other hand, escrows are very useful for every deal here.

I'm asking this question because I, myself, am wondering about making an escrow thread to keep the trading community here safer.

Escrow will always be needed. No matter that scams are reduced but still they are, but providing trustworthy escrow that is something completely different in any aspect of this trade or ICO announcement. So we need them more trusty they are the better then ICO for example might have some bigger changes to go big.

For you service create one some made this and made 5-10 free charge escrows then they started to use fees or some donation. If you want to be like then then try i do your best.

To many transactions happening everyday here and no wonder escrow's pressence is truly a must here but its very hard to find an active escrow since some of the one who's trusted to do that job is most likely inactive due to different time zone, but still I would recommend those people in need of help of escrow to seek those trusted ones so that they will not be fooled by new one who's offering this kind of service since they might gonna put their money in risk with using those unknown escrows.

No doubt this forum has many trusted escrows already since its launch but due to differ in time zones, we can't get in contact to some escrows. Some may have 24 hours difference in their timings. We awake when they sleep.
So i think more escrows would be required also around this forum.

More escrows on this forum? I guess it's a good idea.

Since you've got trading history, not all the times all escrows are available and there are traders who are looking to make their transactions safe.

Everyone has the freedom to help others safe in transactions as long as you have good history in trading.

I really don't have a desire to charge for escrow. The way I see it, if you buy something physically at a store persay, you have a guaranteed sense of safety when making the deal at the register. However, the issue with online marketplaces is that the same sense of safety disappears. If me becoming an escrow would help this safety on bitcointalk, then I think I'll start crafting up my escrow thread.

yes, greatest idea. because we can't find escrow in forum and scammers know that and scamming people.

Yup its about time. We need more escrows here as this is a 24 hours forum and their are times that escrows are not readily available because of our time difference. An additional escrows will make it easier for someone to do transactions at any moment in time. I'm even seeing thread asking for escrows but no one is answering (maybe in PM perhaps). But yeah its a good idea also to prevent scammers propagating this forum.

I don't know if we need more escrows, but I do know that folks here need to start using the ones we have.  You see people get scammed constantly,  and it's because they didn't use an escrow.   I don't think that's because we have a dearth--it's because they're inconvenient and people take too many risks.

Player514, if you're going to offer your services as such, I'd use you.  You're solid,  unlike these other tools who think they're going to build a rep by being an escrow.   Good luck if that's your aim.

Scams are happening here and there but they does not have proper escrows in the trade or service which is bitcoin involved. Already enough escrows available in the forum. We need to use according to their needs. I suggest SebestianJu and Lauda to have best experience.

The only way to find out for sure if we need more escrows is to offer your services, put a cap on it and never scam anyone. After a whole you can increase your cap because people will see that you're more and more trustworthy. Just open the thread. It can't hurt.

Escrows always need by the community. Why think that forum doesn't need an escrow just because you noticed that there are currently few number of scams. Is that an assurance that no such thing as big numbers of scam will happened in the future? It's not really making sense at all.

Well goodluck with your plans to minimize the risk of being scammed by others and hopefully you will shine soon at the escrow stage here.

We have made an escrow website to fill this need. Check out btcescrowpro.com

You're right. I shouldn't have asked the question as I did, and I believe I misunderstood some trends on this forum. Scams will always be an issue. However, people need to be able to access an escrow much more easily -- as you have stated. Hopefully I can try to fix that issue.

i think escrow wallet is really a must for us to have a safer trading environment
1 sign of fraud icos they lack escrow wallet

Of course we need an escrow to make our transaction safe and good without any problem and Aatually there are already many popular escrow here in this forum and most of them had positif trust, it makes many people trust them to be an escrow. If you want to be an escrow, it will be hard because no one know you and you even don't have any positif trust (the green thing).

Don't based only with positive trust, there are also cases that a very trusted user here in the forum such as VIP committed a scam. We don't know what is the mind of everyone here because we are all anonymous on this forum.

The people who got scammed probably didn't use/care to use a escrow, I like your idea of a trusted escrow list but I think that already exists, imo we don't need more escrows we just need to know about the existing active escrows.
Edit : found this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=855778.0 but looks outdated.

The scams maybe less than the past but there is always a risk of immoral activities by anyone in the forum. Escrow can play a very vital role,to make it less. Even if escrow charges a little fee for the service provided is not a big deal even. It will be better to step forward for the establishment of escrow link. Thumbs up for you.

You have said it yourself scams are reducing greatly because people are aware of these services on the forum and having an extra pair of hands to help with this wouldn't be a bad idea as it will improve efficiency, and all I would like to see are readily available services for the sake of convenience.

Good luck with that and other established members need to vouch for you that you can indeed honour these services

We do need more escrows in this forum, especially the ones who take less fees and who are trustworthy. Am not complaining that escrows here take more fees but even a common man also should not hesitate to hire one.

I haven't done any transactions here in our forum, but if ever I did I would definitely go for escrows to avoid being scam. With that said, I think we need more solid escrows around specially who will charge just a little bit and has a good trust rating. If the OP started a escrow, I think he will definitely get a lot of customers because he has high trust rating.

Yes, will Government stop recruiting for police and FBI if crime rate decreases ? It seems complete meaningless to me to ask about the requirement of number of escrow. Having multiple options will not hurt anyone and moreover we are going to have rapid adoptions in near future and hence we can expect more volume of trading to take place. To withstand the high volume, we must need more escrows to ensure healthy environment always.

So at the moment are only 12 escrows all over the forum, only 5 active per day and you get an reply sometimes in days, I think the forum should have at least 20 or 30.

i think we have more than 12 if you include the campaign managers, i heard they are also accepting some transactions. but yeah since not everyone is available and most of

them have a certain criteria for accepting transactions e.g. some might only accept small ones or big ones etc. so the more escrows the better. i don't really get why should the

need of escrows has to be stopped when there is a reduction of scams, i mean that shouldn't stop us for being alert in scam instead we should strive to maintain it or better, to

improve again and again.

From the need point of view I think there are enough escrows for the currently demand. But everyone is free to start offering their escrow services and join the competition. However it's hard, as you must be a trusted person in forum to have customers, otherwise nobody will hire you.

I don't know about escrow. There is a need for better methods of obtaining collateral for loans.

One might say crypto needs better methods of verifying identities, considering how easy it is to obtain fake ID's.

Better methods of validating transactions where crypto is exchanged for physical goods could also be needed. Of course companies like ebay still have not found a way to do that effectively.

Some type of credit check / history system could also be needed, similar to what banks have.

Just to make  every transaction safe between member to member we need escrows for that,  using escrow will lessen or i should say it will take out the risk of being scammed on both parties.  I think we have already enough trusted escrows here in this forum.

Their's enough reputable escrow here in this furom but they are not really act fast whenever we need them thats why maybe its good thing here that maybe it needs a new set of trusted escrow service here but we should select them by their trust score and not those random guys around but for now I would select those people who have great portfolio for doing this job so that we will not compromised by Scam escrows around.

Its never been prohibited to be an escrow on this forum and yes you are right there are scams which do happen on some escrows and those are on people who arent trustable on this forum that is why its really important to use the most reputable ones and been known on this place. If you are new this would really be a tough competition but it isnt bad to start even on small transactions and do gain trust gradually knowing that trust cant be built up overtime and would really require much time.

I wish there were escrows here on bitcointalk from each and every country in this world. There have been times when I thought I would need an escrow for a deal but because of the ones I could find being offline I had to abandon the idea of making a deal so it would be really good idea to have more people providing trusted escrow services and it is desirable that we have at least one escrow from various different regions if not each and every country in the world.

Yes, I do think we need more escrow to manage bitcoins. They were not only limited to just managing signature campaigns but also they serves as mediator for trading transaction that involves bitcoin and some of them were not just taking small amounts but also large amount of money. Just make sure those who are planning to become an escrow should have their reputation build up and no history of any malicious and illegal activities.

Escrows are still needed but not too many because there are still active escrows here that we can trust.  As the number of transactions increases, the numbers of escrows must correspond to the number of transactions. Because if there are few, some of them can't respond immediately to the traders and takes days or more to reply.

Reading this thread puts a new question in my mind:

Since many of you guys do have a desire for more escrows, there is a clear need for them. However, it seems that the existing escrows are not able to respond quickly / are not easily accessible. My new question is whether or not Bitcointalk should have a dedicated escrow section of the forum where people can post their escrow services. Just as we have "Digital Goods," "Services," and "Marketplace," etc., I believe it would be beneficial to have a section dedicated to escrow services.

Thoughts?

More population is equal to more business, and when there is more business there should probably be more escrows. We all can see how the population of this forum is increasing day by day, so if there are more people, there will be more trades, and when there are more trades, it would be better to have more escrows, so that atleast one of them should be online at a time to not let traders wait for too long to get the work done.


I don't think that is necessary, as Escrowing is also a service for the community and we already have a section for all the services combined named "Services". So, having a different section for a service like that doesn't seem logical to me. If this is to happen, then there should also be a different section for Signature campaigns as well, because we have more signature campaign threads than escrow threads in the forum right now.

Escrow is highly needed here, they serves as middle on two parties that is making a small or big transanctions to make it more safer and easier deal and to lessen or avoid scam.

Try to seek those people in your local boards with high trust scores and very transparent interms on handling some deals since I think their are certain guys out there can hold some good deals, But if you can't seek them well much better if we just believe on the existing escrow service here.

Most of the escrow services provided were good and has gained a good trust as well few has been promoting themselves to become a escrow. Being an escrow is a difficult task, because not every person involved will be trusted and if one makes a flaw it sometimes ruin escrows value. In my personal thought as more people are getting into digital currency usage more escrows were needed.

Definitely,we need an escrow for bitcoin transactions.Bitcoin transactions are made online and so there is no chance for the two individuals indulging in th transaction to meet physically.So,there is a great chance of one person being cheated by the other.So,in order to avoid this,an escrow is needed to save every one from being cheated and to protect the reputation of the bitcoin community.

It is good to have more escrows here in forum since we are not came from 1 country and our time zone is different to other users here and most of the time some escrow are busy and we have a choices if there are more offer escrow services. Escrow is a must for big transaction to be made to secure both parties.

Not just because we are on different country and timezone for us to use escrow services. We can do successful transaction here without escrow if we provided a legal documents for our identity here. But since bitcoin is anonymous then all members here preferred to hide their real identity and this the main reason why we need escrow because we didn't know each other here and theymos made a nice decision for implementing trust system here.

I actually think we need more escrows on the forum. The scammers are increasing day by day and the increasing population of newbies will be an easy target for them. We have to understand the concept of escrows to all new members.

From what I see newbie don't prefer to use escrow some of them just prefer​ to get scammed by others because they don't bother to search for one

There is a need for a different type of escrow. What we need to find is a trusted form of escrow. The best that I've been able to come up with so far is to use websites like packs for a local Bitcoin in a manner they're not set up for. I have literally sold something to someone using paxful to hold the Bitcoin of make time.

Escrow is something that's needed but we need to have from a trusted Authority not just another person on the Forum. Escrow is something which is beneficial for both the parties, the sender and the receiver.

scammers will never end and there is always be increase the amount of scammers everyday and yes agreed with you that transactions use escrow will ensure people stay secure but very unfortunate that some people sometimes avoid use escrow because they're objected with escrow fees

Time zones have nothing to do with escrow, it is for safe transaction between two(or more) parties so nobody gets scammed.
In my opinion more escrows is must have here because you will have better choice to choose trusted escrow and probably escrow fees will be lower.

Time zone is actually a good argument, to be honest. If there would be an escrow online every time then transactions would be faster. Problem with some escrows is that they respond very slow and that delays transactions. Which should not be. Though I wish more trusted escrows would come out. I think there are a lot of people thinking that they can be an escrow but they do not have any history of trades on the forum.

No, time zone alone deciding the availability of escrow for a trade. If you watch in service sections, people come and cry out for searching for quick escrow services as they might be searching people who comes into forum in different time zones.

When we will be having more number of escrow to provide services in this forum, this kind of problems will be completely eliminated.

Yes,time also matters.Some body may need an escrow to finish a trade quickly and few escrows may be sleeping at that time since it may be night in their country.So,if we have more escrows belonging to different parts of the world,then one or few escrows may be available to complete the trade.I personally have lost 0.03 btc to a person who just went offline once he received my payment.So,its better not to bother about paying a small fee and use escrow to avoid such scammers.

If you see about timely manner we need more escrows as you said because reason same as you mentioned. This move will the forum people have trade and other digital sellings more feeble to everyone. Please be aware of the people be do trade in next time.

I guess so. The problem, again, is that escrows are not always online. They are not a computer system or script. That is why when people try to find one it would take them some time to get a reply. As well as when the deal is on going escrows takes so long too to reply. That is a problem, especially when moving time sensitive assets like bitcoins and other altcoins.

Actually scammers will always be present with or without escrow but with the availability of escrow we can avoid those people who were doing the scam. The good thing about escrow is that they serve as mediator between two people. But one of the reason why we need the increase on their number is that bitcoins still growing as time passes by and the number of users as well also. Escrows from different time zone as stated previously was also essential so at least there is someone available in any time of the day.

I'm also on adding escrows here in our forum. Users have multiplied already and some of them are looking for escrows. I know that there are still escrows out there but due to different time zone, buyers can't get answers on time and do it risking their bitcoin and the next thing you know they are putting scam accusations. I also think that some reputation escrows are no longer active or they have a minimum amount before transacting as a escrow. I haven't done any transaction yet here in our forum so 0 experience with escrow, but I do believed that with the growing user based, we need to put up more escrow to limit those scammers here looking to victimized members.

I think this forum already have escrows like moderator, but more need escrows will be good for this plate-forum.
People are trust on bitcoin and here we are doing work.
We need escrows in investment sites.
Because i search most of the bitcoin investment sites are scam. and once upon a time, i have lost my bitcoin in that situation.

Do you personally think that having an escrow subsection in the services section would help out with the availability of escrows? I think a lot of people don't use escrows because they take some time to set up and people want their products quickly. The desire for this leads to scams and such. However, if we had an escrow section where anyone could go and read threads, then they could quickly check if a user is online to use for escrow.

Definitely, escrow has the big role in every transaction even if the scammers were lessen still there were still presence of scammers around, we should be aware of that then. Scammers can be the receiver of the money or the one who is asking for the job, ,both party can be scammer, so the escrow make things clear in both ends. There were trusted escrow here in the forum. Also if you are having big amount transaction, escrow is recommended,it is okay to pay small amount of fees is enough just to secure you money than to be scammed of those bullsh*t scammers around.

Yes, exactly, this is one of the reason why escrow is needed, like in your case, sad to hear that but scammers totally do that payment received then offline, in escrow, is like middleman in both party, payment must be sent to escrow then the receiver must do his job or service after service done the escrow will send the money to the receiver. Also time also matter, like posted, we do not have the same time zone.

We should make sure that the one who are grab by us to act as escrow is more trusted than anybody else here since if we keep looking for random guy to act like that well theirs still a high risk factor that we will get scam by the escrow itself and their are several cases that escrow scam the money of those people who used him and much better for this is to became more vigilant since money is very slippery in the hands of anybody.

Yes, you are absolutely right. We definitely need some more escrows for the forum.It is very disturbing when you work and don't get paid .This has happened to me twice(In altcoin bounty).

Indeed basically is when we do something the transactions should be based on on some things that indeed if we don't really do well already be ensured substantial losses that surely we will get. Because of the nature of the transactions in this forum without a patron, when the one doing the cheating problem or Affairs be completed in seconds. Because it does not know who did it, just be careful when doing something
 

I think the more escrow, the better for everyone in this forum, the number of member is increasing everyday so if the number of escrow is still the same of course a lot of people have to wait more longer if they wanna use escrow for their deal. Beside, because of the limited of escrow that why some people made a deal with a stranger without escrow and that why a lot of people in this forum was scammed.

I think a lot of newbies don't prefer to use escrow because of how long it can take to set one up. Of course, the forum could have some changes to add an escrow into all deals somehow, but that would take some time to plan out and create a solution for. Oddly enough escrow conflicts with what Bitcoin wants to be -- an instant currency.

I think we need more escrow in this forum cause the number of trusted member is too little with the number of deal or transaction made everyday :))). That why sometime we have to wait too long to make a deal using escrow so some person often make a deal without escrow and it's the main reason why a lot of people in this forum scammed :)

On certain situations we don't need escrows but there's a lot of them in the services section. But if a person that wanted to become an escrow is trusted who are we to stop his desire to be an escrow here in forum, there is freedom as long he is not violating any laws/rules and he wants to help trades and his trading history will be the basis.

Nah. i don't think escrows are the main reason why people are getting scammed in this forum. in the first place have you asked them if they considered using an escrow?

and have you also considered people who apparently doesn't have any common sense and those who trust people easily, well there are many of them here to the point that

it might be the main reason why. escrows are great but some people might not bother to use it because of the additional fees and waitng time or maybe you can't choose you

own escrow e.g. investment site

 I think we dont need more escrows in this forum, we have already  escrows which are proven and legit even when it comes to huge transactions. Just ask or hire them to be an escrow if your making any deal to other members of this forum.

I think otherwise than what have been mentioned.
What are escrow generally meant to? When someone understand the role and the responsibility of escrow in this forum will definitely go for to welcome the services of more escrow.
If we look at the activities on the forum they are for sure increasing especially in the signature campaigns, it will be much better if the services of escrow are hired with the services of a manager campaign. It will balance the work Load of the manager campaign as the manager campaign will just send a summary to the escrow for the payments and then it will be the duty of escrow to send the payments accordingly.

Well, in the last few years there are 1-3 scammed escrow but i'm not agree if escrow is the main reason why people are getting scammed. There are many trusted person in the forum and do escrow years by years. I know that using escrow is not always 100% safety but it's better than not using.

A reliable escrow is always an asset for the community, there are some really good escrows out there but the more the merrier, there are many projects and transactions taking place in the forum, also if it is the case that scams are getting lower in the forum is because of the work of escrows the moment a few decide to call it quits scammers are going to come back.

It will be hard to remove escrows in this forum as many people still feel the importance of the use of escrow in this forum.

That is not a reason, the real reason that many people do not use escrow is because this generates an additional cost and they are trying to save a few dollars by not using escrow then when they get scammed they blame everyone other than themselves because they thought they can deal with bitcoin without escrow and that they were not going to get scammed.

If you bother about spending additional costs for your trades then you might need to face unnecessary consequences which are must be costlier than what we are paying to escrow providers. The fees we are paying for escrow, must be equavalent to what we are paying to secure our self against scammers. It is like paying taxes to government so that government will take care of Law and Order through cops.

At the same time, escrow providers also must be setting fees reasonable so that each and everyone will be preferring to avail their services to secure themselves.

The escrow service costs were not that big, the amount that we spend on escrow give the buyer and seller a trust on the transaction. Escrow services were rendered by few trusted members of our forum. Other than this there are some ventures like bitpay who have been doing the same.

It is a big community, having more trusted escrow services can only be a good thing for the community. The current system is inefficient anyway. Finding ways to streamline how it works on here and making it efficient is key.

I definitely don't agree with this statement simply because there are a lot of free escrows available. People often just want to get by the transaction time in my opinion. They want to get their trades done super quickly.

for our sake, i think that we need more escrow. but i think there are a lot of escrower here in bitcointalk that offering their service.
so how about we promote the trusted escrow that we already use? for clearing uneasy when newcomer dealing with the escrower. and make the rate go better

Actually, there is a compiled list and there are escrow groups that are on the services forum. People actually have started to hear about the best escrows through word of mouth when one deal gets done by a friend or other trader. And I do agree, escrows can be a seemingly confusing topic for a bitcoin forum newcomer. I think rates are something that people worry about because of the transaction % that miner fees can cost. Escrow fees are not generally too tough on the wallet.

There's a lot of escrows already here in forum. But if those people has the potential and they are trustworthy since they were test by time, then why not have a try and if you think you fit as an escrow, try it. People are the ones that can tell if your service is giving satisfaction.

If you believe that the escrow services offered are not enough, maybe you should also start up your own. There isn’t much to it, the only thing that matters is if you can get people to trust you and leave a good feedback for you.

You will have to create a thread where those that makes use of your service can leave feedback for you. Good feedback, more business.

This forum definitely needs escrows or some sort of mediator between transactions. I do not think that the number of scams has decreased. Scams are still highly prevalent, but thanks to the work of DT2 members like Cryptodevil and Lauda, many of the forum members know who to trust and not. If the number of scams has decreased it may be due to the decreased number of trades happening in the marketplace. With the birth of sites, like escrow.com or Bitify.com, many people are using such bots and other more trustworthy sites for trading. I don’t know about the escrow thread. It is a good idea. Maybe it is worth a shot. After all it can only have a positive effect on the community, right? It won’t hurt to have such a thread. I would say go for it.

I guess the forum is crowded with escrows but there will always be a need for more trusted people in here. Not all escrows are available from time to time so others are, there will be interruption with the scheduling for trades and deals so I guess we need more to have a lot of choice.

For me personally if it wants to do transaction one of the things that I really need to get is the self data and clear evidence from someone who will transact with me. Because then I would be a little more confident in them, actually for escrow I also prefer it but now there are many escrow that turns their thinking finally leads to escape all customer's money. This is hard but we must always be vigilant and careful, usually a good escrow is what can be invited to communicate well

This would depend on a certain person if he would really accept the risk on transacting on other people without any escrows this is why these kind of services do exist because some people dont really have confidence on making transactions on random people on the net. Talking on need for more escrows in the forum,i can say that it isnt bad to start such service as long there are people would use you to be the middle man but i would say that competition with other reputable escrows would really be a tough thing.

Escrows are always useful and a much-needed thing on the forum in any case. Even though the number of scams has reduced, there has to be a good choice of escrows

I’m not complaining about the costs, what I’m saying is that many people try to save money when they perform a transaction and hiring an escrow generates an additional cost and then some people prefer to take the risk of not using an escrow but the big problem as we know is there are many scammers in bitcoin taking advantage of the fact that it is impossible to chargeback bitcoin transactions.

Also some escrows that were trusted could make a mistake and lose the trust of the community or they simply get tired of being an escrow or have made so much money with bitcoin that they no longer need to perform their escrow activities to earn money, so when you begin to think about all the things that could make an escrow quit then there is no doubt in my mind that we can never have too many escrows.

yes we need but i [erfer to be escrow service like bitfy not use green trust members

yes i think if this forum new escrow service like paxful site will be better but we need to exchange all design

Well, I’m not used to making use of the escrows and the rest. When I buy online, I do so on sites with integrity. Even if I want to use escrow, I wouldn’t do it with just anyone. There are right places to such.

Escrows is a must in this forum and if we're talking about numbers that is not a problem so many old members here with high trust that can we relied on. We should not always rely on they're presence as they also have they're personal life out of this forum, so be a trusted member of this forum even just doing what is right and report for what think is wrong. It needs teamwork and cooperation after all.

Sure the forum have a lots of escrow but we didn't know who are gonna be trusted and who's not.
I've read some escrow are scammers like after they got the allotted budget for the campaign they just burst out like bubble. And this really saddens the investors and the trust issues are getting higher. As a result, escrows reputation is at risk and things got compromised. So better to pick those who are really known and have clean records.

It's really hard to tell whether on who is trusted among them since anytime if they will be out trust by the shining money anytime they might scam some people here and it really happens since there are history of escrow scamming happened way back then. And we should used those trusted guys vigilantly and don't try to pull huge money upon using an peer to peer escrow service here.

escrow is very important to minimize cheating.
i think this forum needs a lot of reliable escrow because of the increasing number of trades in this forum.

I don't know much how does a escrow is chosen or they was being voted to be on that position. But what i think is better as I have many bad experienced from many scammers ruining service section without paying tasks that has been done. I hope escrow is a must and will be banned the OP without hiring so. They're abusing the demand of users and hiding from accounts that is either newbies or even with ranks.

Having additional escrow on the forum shouldn't really be a problem. It is a service and cannot be too much on the forum as long as the person in question can do it effectively. If you are willing, you can go ahead as you are a hero member along with green trusts.

But escrow should not be done for profit motto as it is kind of welfare related hence I believe people should come forward to provide escrow for making bitcoin world scam free. Conducting escrow for free of cost will make people adopt bitcoins more intensively.

There has been already few trusted escrows on this forum but still people are getting scammed; they prefer to take risk than paying the fees to the escrows. Yes, there is need of more affordable escrow service provider in order to reduce the scams. I have also future plan to start a escrow service; before that I have to spend some more time on this forum to increase my forum rank and to gain the trust/reputation on this forum.

But this forum already have plenty of free escrows! I'm sure that there's tons of scammers that want to become escrows just to scam people. It is better to have fewer, but better escrows that more but one that might be scammers.

how can use escrow here?

Escrow is a must, IMO
But people often take the risk of being scammed because they want fast transaction, but not secured.

Escrow will always be required. It would be very good if escrow was someone from the administration.
