Since folks are leery of selling to buyers who want to use PayPal, I'm looking for a reliable escrow service w/ low fees and low minimums.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Cynthia

Paypal's incompatible with Bitcoin whether you use escrow or not unless the funds are held for >90 days.

I guess the problem is that you can do chargeback with paypal?

Which escrow services do people like to use? Coinbase has received a lot of investment this week.

I've used https://bitbargain.co.uk for buying coins, they buy and sell Litecoins as well as bit coins but selling is more difficult and I guess this site is useless if you don't have UK bank account and ID.

It is meaningless to use escrow for paypal payments.
The buyer can still chargeback after escrow release the bitcoin.

GAH! This stinks. I guess I'm stuck going through my CoinBase account and waiting the however many days it takes them to clear my transfer. I hate that people would even think to chargeback PayPal payments in order to scam Bitcoin sellers. It ruins it for the rest of us.

John K is probably the best-known one, though I haven't used any escrow before.
