Which escrow service is this that releases funds before the buyer verifies the goods are received? I want to make sure to never use them or deal with anyone that recommends them. Maybe that's why nobody will buy anything from you anymore?
I think I've seen that be offered several times. I didn't follow the trade to see how it ended, and don't know if it actually happened.
It was like, seller ships to minerjones and the escrow is released upon minerjones' confirmation of item retrieval, then mj reships to the buyer.
I don't exactly remember if minerjones was also acting as escrow or if it was a completely different person.
minerjones is someone I totally trust with the handling of my items.
I wouldn't mind having minerjones as a trusted intermediary in any transaction I'm involved. I wouldn't mind having you as well, Og, as a trusted intermediary.
A dishonest buyer can always claim that he received an empty envelope or package, or something worthless and not agreed on.
A dishonest seller can send a package with a totally different coin, like a €1 or $1, and claim he sent the item.
That dispute would be seller's word against buyer's.
So .. Yes, I think it kind of protects both buyer and seller to reship the items to a neutral and mutually trusted third party.
But interested parties have to both agree on someone.
TMAN's sale looks legit. The coins look beautiful.
I'd purchase these if I could afford them.
