the point of escrow is to ensure that all parties are protected in a transaction. As well to ensure that the transaction proceeds as agreed. The OP had agreed that a certain amount of money would be sent to the seller via myself and the OP deprived the seller his money that he was due.

I'm confused at the bold part myself. As the escrow, you didn't hand over the seller's goods or efforts before receiving payment, did you? How was the seller deprived of money he was due? The deal was never finalized.

IMO once escrow is setup for a deal it should be pretty much set in stone.

@bold: If that's the case, then probably I wouldn't use you as an escrow.

I agree Quickseller - you should put in your terms that once you start negotiation for your services as escrow, you will receive negative trust if you back out. This would be ethical, since you are on DT and your trust means more than other escrow providers.

This is why I don't escrow. Undecided
