I guess the old saying applies here; it takes money to make money. I'm linked to three different BTC exhanges but no significant upfront money to actively trade using escrow. I've been trading small time for awhile now and I'm ready for larger volume trades, how do I make this happen with no "larger volume trades" money? I can't imagine anyone doing something like this without an escrow in place. Are there other ways of trading that I"m familiar with?
Have you tried selling assets or getting a loan from family and friends?
Like you said, you have no upfront money and basically not enough trade history for others to trust you and send first. Stick around, continue being honest and do what you're doing and eventually people will trust you enough to send first. Not talking about days or weeks though, this would take a while. Your best option would be a loan from someone you know to get you started.
