What your doing when you escrow is, the people involved send the items or btc to a neutral 3rd party to confirm that the trade happens so nobody gets scammed. Like in our trade, I would have sent the btc to the escrow and he confirmed that he had it. Then you would have traded me the skins. Then I would have released the btc from the escrow. Meaning I tell him all went well to send you the btc.
Oh I see, so kind of a middleman. I don't have problems using one but I don't know where to get them. I also assume they take fees so in that case buyer would have to pay for that.Thanks for your explanation
Some take a fee, other are free. They are plenty of free ones out there if you think that someone my not hold up to their end of the trade. Escrow's are always recommended to use.
