Hello, I am seeking escrow service. Still a newbie account so have exceeded my daily messages. Please PM me @subie on Telegram.

Watch out for scammers - make sure you are dealing with the same person by having them send you a pm on here first.

I think you will be out of newbie status soon, maybe this Tuesday?

I believe everyone on this list operate manually at their own time. So transactions can take a few hours, or even a day.

If this list had included an escrows from local parts of the forum, then maybe the situation would be better for the entire community.

I wrote to the esteemed @hedgy73 several times, but I was rejected in response because "I dont have enough forum trust to be on the list".

When I gave him information about myself (11 December 2018), who I am, how many time I'm in the crypto community, and what I do), his answer was: "I can only go on what I see on the forum." -- I can assume he doesn't give a fuck about the information I gave him, and he didn't even check it out. And it turns out that he's "right" because he is the topic starter. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And the last one thing:


After that answer, it's understandable that I stopped messaging him, because it would be rude of me, and I also realized that he wouldn't add me to the list because of... <put_a_reason_here>.

And again, there are no criteria (except for the personal and subjective opinion of the author of the topic).

In the past, I was naive and thought that we were all a friendly community here, and we can help each other and of course newcomers in the community so they wouldn't fall into the hands of scammers.

My humble advice to a new escrows -- ignore this list, even though Google loves this topic.

Simply offer your services and build your reputation and do not participate in deals involving the selling/buying of forum accounts (LocalBitcoins accounts), because by doing so you're encouraging the spread of spam and potential fraud. (It's my personal belief.)

This post was written without a drop of anger or spite to the author of the topic.
I just expressed my opinion and how personally I see the situation.

Thanks.

Ok I'm not exactly sure why you posted this but here goes.

Just over as year ago you asked me if you could be on the list I said no as you didn't have good enough forum trust. I feel that having good forum trust is very important as its a list of trusted forum escrows.

You then sent me a few messages saying you had some trust on this site and some trust on that site which I said no again and asked you politely to stop messaging me.

Now a year on you make this post when you still dont have any trusted forum feedback and the untrusted feedback you do have is half red.

As I said to you privately a year ago I get lots of requests from people to be on this list but they're not considered because they don't have good enough trust on this forum.

Also at the moment I feel that the list is full of very professional and trusted escrows and so there is no need to add any more people to it.

I hope this explains my reasons to you. Have a great day and good luck at becoming a forum escrow one day.

Ok I'm not exactly sure why you posted this

I just expressed my opinion about this topic and that other escrow does not need to be on the list to do business successfully on the forum.

I said no as you didn't have good enough forum trust.

Okay, let's hear more from this point. 

Is there any official list of approved forum administration rules about how many reviews I need to have to get from a list created by someone not related to the forum administration? (do you feel the irony?  )

Or maybe there are rules that require the circulation of my BTC, ETH and XMR wallets to exceed a certain amount in the fiat in order to get on a list?

I can ask a lot more questions like that, the answer to which is, "No, there are no rules from the administration about this list."

I feel that having good forum trust is very important as its a list of trusted forum escrows.

If you took this topic more seriously, you would at least google information about me (or about the others), who I am, how long I've been in the community, and what I do, etc.

Now a year on you make this post when you still dont have any trusted forum feedback

Trusted feedback from who should I get, lol? You and I are from different parts of the forum? How do you know who is who in the Russian-speaking part of the forum? How can I get feedback from the English-speaking part of the forum if I offer my services to Russian-speaking/Ukrainian-speaking users of this forum?

and the untrusted feedback you do have is half red.

You've been on the forum since 2013, and you're still very naive. 
I just looked at your untrusted feedbacks, and surprise(/s), you've got enough red, too. So? Any comments? 

I get lots of requests from people to be on this list but they're not considered because they don't have good enough trust on this forum.

I repeat the question, who decides (except you, as the author of the topic) and by what criteria?

Also at the moment I feel that the list is full of very professional and trusted escrows and so there is no need to add any more people to it.

BINGO! 🎉
That's what I wanted to hear from you, so others can see.

Only you, as the author of the topic, decide who is on the list and who isn't. People who have a reputation on this forum (in local parts of the form) can not get here because you do not know who they are and they do not have "enough reputation on the forum".

By the way, when I finished writing the previous paragraph, I understood what you mean about "trusted feedback from trusted forum members". It's very easy to get a "good reputation" from the English-speaking part of the forum, just take a loan from someone (who is popular among the rest of the forum), return the loan + fee (usually it's about 1-2%), and that's it -- you got a review and already "trusted". This scheme always made me smile. 

I hope this explains my reasons to you.

No, it's not. 
But your answers convinced me of what I was thinking about this list. I' m grateful to you for your answers. (no kidding, no sarcasm)

Have a great day

Thank you! You too!

and good luck at becoming a forum escrow one day.

Why would anyone want luck to be an escrow? (rhetorical question)

For almost two years I have been successfully working as an escrow on Bitcointalk, and on the most popular crypto-forum of the CIS, with 100% positive feedbacks, and you know... I don't need to be listed here -- that's what I wanted to tell the other escrows that you refused to "list".
Yeah, I agree that some % of the people who wrote you probably were scammers, it's pretty easy to check too, but you obviously won't do it because you don't give a fuck (which is fine too).

Hey, i´m an argentinian starting with the bitcoin business, and i have invested in Livestock since i had enought money to be accepted in a scrow, and the meat here is very cheaper everyday due to the crisis and the Coronavirus, and i have all the information and contacts to start a scrow based on argentine Livestock, one that you can pay in Bitcoins and your money will be secure in the international price of cows (i am currently investing in fields from all around the country, most of our meat goes to China and then the UE, and is currently the second most valuable in the market after the USA one), so, my question is, what is the requierement for being aproved as a official scrow and start looking for funding?

I am willing to explain all in detail to whoever is interested, basically you pay Bitcoins now and will recibe cows in the future (i will explain you all your guarantees and risks, and be the nexus between you and the argentine farmer.

Wow. Well... Um.... This is something different than the purpose of this thread I think. Maybe you should post this on services board instead?

This thread is to find a trusted intermediary for a transactions with a potentially untrustworthy party. What you're looking for are forward contracts, I believe, so wrong section, Services, Marketplace or maybe Securities would be a better place to post.

i think most here will use the trusted forum escrow providers - lower fees and less risk.

I did some digging and found two comments that would answer your question ^{[to an extent]}:
^{- AFAIK, they don't accept BTCitcoin payments and I prefer not to vouch for their services [DYOR] so you're better off using one of the escrow providers from this forum.}

Ebay only endorses one Escrow service, Escrow.com. You can read eBay's Escrow Policy here. They only recommend an escrow service for vehicle pruchases, but it is allowed for any purchase. There are escrow fees, so you won't be able to under-cut credit card and paypal users (Fee Schedule $25 minimum).

inb4 escrow.com is shut down and all innocent funds seized because of guilt by association.

Hello, I'm looking for an escrow service. Are the people on the list still doing it? I will be appreciated if you can PM.
Thanks.

Mostly yes, most of them still do escrow. Just shoot a pm to them (my recommendation is either minerjones or SFR10, since both of them are very active)

This topic needs a serious revamp. Some of the users mentioned in OP should be removed, while others should be added.

DarkStar_ should be removed from OP as he is not offering escrow services anymore:

My service is no longer active.

Lutpin should also be removed as I didn't see any topic where he announced that he is offering escrow services.

bittawm's ANN thread is missing from OP; here it is: Bittawms Legendary Escrow Service - 0.9% BTC. However, the user was banned in the past, according to LoyceV:

He's banned:

    27. Legendary bittawm (Trust: 118: -0 / +13) (45 Merit earned (history)) (BPIP)

He was later unbanned, but I don't know if an ex-banned user can be considered reliable for acting as escrow.

Other users from OP should be asked if they are willing to offer escrow services anymore. One example is John K., which is mostly inactive for months.

Besides, other reliabe users are offering escrow services and they should be added to OP. Such examples are yogg ([ESCROW] 🌠 yogg's escrow service ⭐ BTC & Alts ⭐ Fast ⭐ Reliable ⭐ Secure 🌠) or MoparMiningLLC (offering escrow services).

Just wanted to say that bans can happen quickly on here. I also had a short ban once because of one of the inofficial forum rules that said that I can't create multiple posts one after another in a thread. I wanted to answer everyone properly so that was that.

Better use a divider and collect all answers to different users in the same post. Just saying it's easy to get caught in a rule you don't know is worth a ban. Not sure what his ban was about though.
