Only the tiniest minority should ever be offering escrow services on this board and your name should carry some
serious weight around here with you having done many trades over
years and you being one of the most active and well-know members on the board. People should fall into escrowing naturally over time and anyone who sets off from the get-go actually wanting to do this raises immediate red flags. If you're a familiar face on the board and Marketplace then over time people will ask you to do escrows for them and unless this has happened you probably shouldn't be offering such services in the first place. This happened to me well before I should have even been trusted with others money because I was one of the most active people here and I had something to lose because I was earning so much from my signature campaign so why would I run off with somebodies $100 when I was earning five times as much? Now I'm a Staff Member I have even more to lose so it's less likely I would run off with $1000. What do you have to lose? You could be the most honest and trustworthy person in the world but we don't know that and that's why you earn and build rep and trust over time.
Why would you even want to get into escrowing anyway? People who
want to be escrows are usually doing it for entirely the wrong reasons and are more often than not scammers who just want a quick and easy way to get ahold of other peoples money until they build up enough reputation that someone finally trusts them with an amount they like the look of and they run off. The other minority just seem to think it's another source of easy income but if you think you can earn money from this then find something else because you'll be wasting your time. You'll make much more from a signature campaign and it's much less hassle. Most trusted escrows here either do it for free or charge very little but either way it's rarely worth your time though it's often worth it for scammers who dream of getting that one big long con eventually.
As much as possible get into the hero level and get as many green trust as many as you can a little one can so and try to avoid any red tag however small,it takes time but if you are serious to get into this profitable business you can do it,we need more people in this business.
It is not important to wait for the hero rank for starting the job because I know a number of members have started that job from Sr.Member and just green trust is not important but he have valid green trust which will confirm his trust.
A Hero (or any other) rank is meaningless for escrow. Anyone can buy a Hero account for $50-100 dollars, so that's why your name should mean something to someone and you should have a long history of previous trades.
It's a lost cause. You'll just be slapped hard by some DT members here and told to just stop and lock. I've seen it quite some time.
This is discouraging. Who are "DT Members", what's "DT"?
If you have to ask this, you don't know this forum well enough.
Exactly.
