My background is financial services and regulation, what do folk think is important for an escrow service ?
To put in one word:
TRUST.
I'd be feeling much better if I could use a service that is (for me) located in my country, with a company run by professionals in background. Currently almost every Bitcoin-related service has no real postal address to mail to. Nobody to talk to personally. Someone I can trust he won't run with the money.
Oh, and I would pay for that.
