Hi, I'm new here. I want to sell a couple of egift cards. and maybe a software activation code. How do I arrange for escrow? Is there an Escrow service internal to bitcointalk,org, or is it all done through outside third parties? If the latter, any recommendations? Ratings?
You have to contact the escrow through sending him/her a personal message on the forum. Than the escrow will setup an agreement and both parties (buyer and seller) need to agree to those terms before anyone sends funds to the escrow.
I recommend to use SebastianJu as an escrow, he is a very nice escrow and I would say that he is the most trusted escrow around here.
