What makes Verify different to an escrow? For example, online escrow bots or trusted individuals? To be honest, an escrow would still be a safer option in a trade. Don't you think so?
Escrows are good for buyers, but they're terrible for sellers -- especially if these sellers have any serious transaction volume. The more orders you get, the more money you have locked up in the escrow -- and that really hurts cash-flow. Since any payment solution would have to integrate with sellers first before buyers can use it, it's obvious why no escrow service has been able to take the market by storm.
Reputation solves the problem that escrows cannot:
it allows you to pay sellers instantly, while still providing buyers 100% protection.
I am still a bit confused about how reputation solves that problem. Sorry, I am bad at these kinds of stuff. Is reputation basically the profile of a seller that is verified by CRED tokens?
