I'm very close to releasing an automated bitcoin escrow service at: https://coinguard.org <-- check it out and give me your feedback.

My intentions are to work closely with the community to build features, bugs, improvements, and trust overall.

Thanks

This could be really useful

Anyone tested this? Do you have another thread?

I haven't had any forum members test it yet, but I'm working very closely with my developer to get a few small tweaks implemented to the code before I start a beta test thread.

Is it opensource? Will you do a test release? How about security?
Would be great service...

Yes its based on the open source code from bitescrow.org which is translated from the casascius escrow utility tool and escrow scheme draft. I will do a beta release on the forums first before launching, and for security we won't be holding any bitcoins on hand or on the server.

Thanks Im hoping so

the bitcoin community and ecosystem in general would benefit from an easy to use service like this for escrow transactions.

the 4 step offer no protection to the seller as he only handle step 2. the interesting part is when something is wrong, that is in fact why you use escrow. pease make the fak and how it work link work with explanation. at this level of detail I run away!

I would think it provides much more protection than there currently is for both parties involved, and we are working on a system to handle disputes efficiently. Absolutely we will make the faq and how it works links active with lots of explanation it's important that the process is easily understandable for many people. It's one of my goals.
