OP is making escrow very difficult.
Not sure what their deal is.....
We have all been here for years and know how things run.
No one is trying to rip you off or take your silver bar or btc.
We are trying to help out, yet you seem resistant to anything.
Either get with the program or don't sell your items on here
The terms have been set out by the buyer..
1. The buyer wants me to use standard post to send the item. not Fed-ex or UPS style services.
2. The bar is to be directly send to the buyer not to the escrow.
3. No TXID is being supplied to me to prove a payment was made to the escrow?
How is this escrow if I have to send directly to the buyer escrow is to protect BOTH party's not just the buyer.
I did ask to send it direct to MJ escrow but he said no the buyer has requested direct send.
What is to stop the buyer saying the bar didn't arrive? nothing... so this "Escrow" that is being insisted on offers me the SELLER no protection at all.
I am happy to ship to the escrow agent MJ and have my item verified and shipped onto the buyer but I will not be shipping the item directly to the buyer that's not how escrow works and you both know that.
User and buyer agree a price.
Buyer send payment to the escrow
Escrow confirms the payment to the seller.
Seller ships item to the Escrow.
Escrow then validate the item then releases payment to the seller.
Item is shipped to the buyer.
Item is held by the Escrow not the buyer..
If the buyer were to be holding the item what is to stop them saying they didn't receive the item also the fact he's asked for me to send it via Normal Post... not UPS or FED-EX style services.
Sorry guys but i'm not being held over the coals like this when it's clear there's not any protection for me the Seller in this process you have told me.
I'm not being difficult at all I just think the terms don't add up.
