Almost every one in this topic mentioned how important using escrow is, but other than LBC, no other sites were suggested. One link that was considered by some guys here to be scam, is empty at the moment. Why don't pro users/traders admins provide a list of escrow sites ? Reading this topic I'm still not sure if bitcointalk has an escrow service. If so how do we start it , what are the rules ?
There aren't many escrow sites, and for Bitcoin there's almost none. Localbitcoins is probably the best one, but even LBC is extremely sketchy.
If someone is wanting you to use their escrow website then chances are they are trying to scam you. The person you are trading with would be associated with the site/would control the site, and would control the private keys of the address that the btc is sent to for escrow.
Bitcointalk has some decent human escrows apparently, but I wouldn't use them because as far as I know the escrows here are completely anonymous. If someone is gonna escrow for me I'd want to know who they actually were.
Oh the irony of this statement
I don't think many people use escrow.
I think you are wrong.
