Prevention is better than a cure. Please escrow.

Hi i want to sell items online using BTC but i don't know how to use escrow. are there any fees that i need to pay if i am the seller?

[hheby]

That is true, I invested several coins, but some of them cheat. However, we could not find reliable escrow to support.

[mydearvoice]

Now more and more a liar, legerdemain more and more is also high, hope there will be less

[Coinsera]

For Security and other services here are charges involved. But, definitely you will be free of mind that a transaction is safe and secure.

Thanks

Hiya, I will be removing the thumbs up approach and starting a trading trust list, This will include everyone.

NOTE - I keep leaving too long a gap between updates, I am sorry  I will strive to do better, If I have not included you thus far, please post after this one, I will update in day or two, Also, If I have missed your PM I would rather you post your services here, I do alot of escrows myself and PM's tend to get lost.

Thanks all.

In these times of Mass scammers out there, I urge people to use an escrow. There are many good members out there willing to help to secure the bitcoin community, There are also more people willing to do anything to scam you out of your coins, Please just do your research on someone before you part with your hard earned coins.

An escrow list

Note to mod, I know this is in the wrong section as I am not selling anything, I feel we all need to be wiser, People in the selling forums are less likely to look elsewhere for information on what this is and how it is acheved,
Even if a few people read this and use escrow, Or a few scammers don't get their coins, I will consider this a good job.
Please consider not moveing out the way, This needs to be addressed.

While I support what you are saying the problem is we will never get btc main stream if we continue to escrow. We actually need a service like ebay or place where people transfer their btc and leave it there and the shipper ships the items to them once he posts the tracking number he should be paid. I am selling some stuff. I dont mind accepting escrow/btc/credit cards. But I would prefer people use more btc then any other method.

[dmz241]

k I just read up on escrow. Basically escrow is for btc. As a seller I do have a question it says that the buyer has to release the funds once the seller ships. What if the seller ships and buyer doesnt release the funds where does the seller stand then?
I have looked at the following

Forgive my ignorance, I saw that the trustworthiness of "john k" was called into question on this thread, how did that shake out? I am asking because I am triyng to get a handle on things before I look to use an escrow service when I sell my coins. He was quite high on the list of trusted persons.

[msleader]

I have used Escrows many times. but I never use single MM for Big trancations, rather I Divide that amount and Use different MM, this is because I have Seen on some forums MM has also Scamed Peoples.
But escrow is always best option

he came back, said he was ill, repaid his escrows and went off again. he is not around enough to use.

Thats exactly what the problem is of the people at most of the forums , they dont know how to deal online and after they are scammed they blame the forum to have bad members and dont see what they are doing .

[ulipupil]

With escrow we can very safe ..... 

[bitXbay]

My program makes it easy to create an escrow between two people without a middleman. It use bitmessage network to send key's and all what need to create multisig escrow. The only negative, you should have downloaded the whole blockchain because program use Satishi's bitcoin-qt. Developing lite version with electrum. It is open source. More about it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589578.0 or bitxbay.ws

When we give people the authority to handle the transactions, we give them the right to take decisions. According to me, escrow services are probably going to replace banks for the most part at least when it comes to physical goods.

[catlinhappy]

Have been using escrow for a long period now, but is nothing if you are transacting with a trustworthy person

[philipma1957]

I am willing to do small escrow amounts of 1 btc and under.  see my trust here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=64507

see my ebay account info here

http://www.ebay.com/usr/philipma1957 >>>>>>>>> close to 11 years on ebay  

 1440+ positives  and I had only 1 negative which was removed by ebay.  It was a first time buyer that  lied most likely to hurt my rep.
