There is no reason why I should have to risk my money like that just so I can protect my privacy.
Even if this was a reasonable stance (consider me Switzerland)... Did you have to charge others $ for it?
The overall deal that anyone got when dealing with me was one they were happy with. This is little different then you
charging more for miners then is available directly from the manufacturer
Where are those miners available directly from the manufacturer? Now you are spreading lies.
Not to mention if you factor in shipping mine are still cheaper.
I've learned that when people deflect, they are usually in the wrong.
Price: $340 (1.414
BTC)/each
Price you are charging 1.515
BTC/each
They are not available as you claim and I offer free shipping. They do not.
Nice try deflecting.
The issue here is you charging money for providing a 3rd party service which was not a 3rd party service. Now that you have admitted it, I await the backlash from those who have left you positive trust.
If anyone who has paid for my escrow services wishes to get a refund they are more then welcome to do so.
However even if "my alt" were to have paid for any escrow fee that I charged, the negotiation process would have worked in a way that would have allowed them to receive a higher starting price (or pay a lower starting price).
There is no difference between saying "I will sell 2 BTC @bitstamp+1%, and I will pay the escrow fee" and saying "I will sell 2 BTC @Bitstamp and you pay the escrow fee"
