Sure I get it, it is work and you deal with a lot of bullshit. But this .01 BTC fee may have back in the day been not much, but at today's prices, IT IS ALOT. Especially if it is is a transaction less than $1500 USD.

No, it is not a lot.

To be honest, that is almost as bad as Western Union rates.

Apples and oranges.

Was BTC not meant to stop that?

Stop private individuals from pricing their services how they deem appropriate? I don't even.

I need to find a legit escrow service here who is not so fucking money hungry they make more than either party involved.

Money hungry? You're an idiot.

Why are you linking a very outdated, thus misleading thread?

If you'd like I can help you out, I charge about 2mbtc or 1% whichever is higher, though I don't usually do it only if people pm me asking about it. Anyway, good luck OP.

The issue is risk. Each time you escrow, you are taking the risk and annoyance that might come with the deal itself. I'll probably lower to 0.005 once BTC is worth $10k. However, going much lower than $50 per deal does not seem reasonable.

I get ya Lauda. I also get you been here for a while. But please try and remember, not everyone here has.

Everyone screams USE ESCROW USE ESCROW!!! I get it, all good. Problem is I was/am trying to make a purchase from a brand new member and he is doing all he can to understand escrow, and all the hoops you have to jump.

A mere $1375 purchase of a D3 miner to me is jack shit as I have 8 coming next week. Point is, to charge almost $75 when both parties are doing all they can as fast as they can to get it done and stays tied up for 3 days waiting on Escrow service to respond is total BULLSHIT.

To add to that, If a newer member here is actually trying to do the right thing as suggested by the forums and gets no help what is he to think? Thank god I am a trustworthy person and been here trying to guide him. I thought we were in Crypto together... NOT to make as much as possible.
