Thanks for the welcome
I have already told you there is no problem in a trusted member holding the funds, in fact they can even check my account over teamviewer or whatever in order to verify I own the account.
Of course small payments are the only way to start.... who said I was looking for a large amount first time? and please don't spam the thread with rubbish unless I'm dealing with you as the feedback will land once traded and it will make you look very silly.
