I'm going to continue using Bitmit, but with escrow disabled until this is all sorted out.
Most of my orders are less than $20 and rarely is there more than one in play at a time
so for more, the risk is low; however, I join the choir in that the owner of Bitmit needs
to make a few PR statements regarding these issues. Hope he doesn't delay.
If the problem with bitmit is the lack of trust with escrow purchases, would it be possible to use an escrow service that uses this mechanism?
