I mean Escrow is only going to protect the buyer, realistically.
I've lost a lot of money trusting people in Escrow-relationships and other people reading this have too.
It's not Satanic that I think Escrow is fucking awful and unreliable on every level; It's common sense.
I will send my product directly to the buyer, while a 3rd party holds my money until the person receives it?
What if the person lies about recieving it; or if they say it is broken and send me back another unit using my service to replace their HW?
I literally do not accept returns, so in any result there is no need to use Escrow unless the aim of a person is to fuck me.
So from my POV when someone asks: "Escrow?"
I'm thinking "So you're exploring your options to fuck me, I guess."
If trust is a huge factor I prefer uh... PayPal or something that has actual Escrow.
Is an Escrow agent here going to cover my losses like PayPal when someone inevitably tries to fuck me?
Escrow only for items under 100$, ok?

Since trust is a two-way street, in this time I only trust about 100$ worth of credit in Escrow related things
Edit: Because if you're buying with Escrow you're one step away from buying with credit; only the person vouching isn't a bank.
And there are high-value member accounts for sale here all the time; let's not over-inflate the meaning of a trusted account
True I haven't been around posting but I have been reading for many years; I'm in awareness of how things are
This is one step from being a total black market; let's keep it real.
Only a few things need to be here for this forum to need to be relocated to a .onion domain.
I think the only things not here are drugs and weapons; and I'm sure they're very much here in the PMs of some members
