I see you are newbie here . you will be offer escrow for trades ? i do not think anyone will trust newbie in money exchange .
Better use escrow and build some trust . it is hard to be success in exchange area as newbie without escrow .
Just an advice.
Yes, I'm already negotiating with a user and we agree on the escrow; I will then ask him to be my escrow for further deals to build a reputation. Thank you for the advice.
