Re: Is btcrow.com trusted / any good?

I need to send >5 bitcoin to a stranger on the Internet in return for some digital goods (nothing illegal).

Has anybody used btcrow.com as an Escrow service for trading and can they be trusted to hold my bitcoin?

I have used it in the past and it is good, but I don't know how are disputed handled on the site. With such big amounts, I would always recommend using an escrow on bitcointalk. They are always much more safer and can help settle disputes in an efficient manner.

Ok thanks. Any recommendations for an escrow on bitcointalk? How would that work?

You can see the list here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=108716.0
And how it works?
[CMIIW] Each escrow have their own rules, but usually the buyer send the Bitcoin to escrow and the seller send the goods to the buyer. If the buyer says the goods is arrived and nothing wrong with it, then the escrow will send the Bitcoin to the seller.
