cool. my son's bday today and in a zoom now, but I will look into. What protects the seller from a bad actor buyer if they were to claim the item was never received or whatever excuse? The funds would just remain in escrow? If so, it would seem like it protects the buyer but increases risk to a seller. But probably there are mechanisms for this? Surely there are - but that would be the thing I want to be sure of.
Hi, and welcome
As the seller, you can take photos of the items you are going to sell, to show the the buyer, and put all of the details in the escrow agreement.
You could easily take a few pics or a video with your phone, with a time stamp, like a newspaper or something with today date, maybe also the current Bitcoin block number etc, there are many creative ways you can work this out.
You can also video packing up the item and send all of this to the trusted escrow as evidence and proof you are sending what you are trying to sell.
When you ship your item you will 100% want tracking - as protection for both for you as the seller and the escrow and/or receiver to follow where the package is and to confirm it was received (and possibly signed for if you choose that option)
Alternatively you could ship your item to the trusted escrow who can inspect the item, as most of the trusted escrows on this forum have many years of expertise in inspecting and verifying high value items such as Bitbills and more. Then the trusted escrow can forward (ship) the item to the buyer and release funds to you upon confirmation of receipt.
All of the previous comments posted are valid as well, (take a pic with todays date and your screename) etc.
There are some very good trusted escrows here on the forum, and they can assist you much better than I.
Good luck, and I wish you a safe and prosperous transaction
Thanks!
