those that provide the escrow services are those individuals that have been here for quite some time, who have been involved in deals/trades/sales and have always shown themselves to be trustworthy.

I am one of the newer individuals offering escrow services and I also have 100% positive ratings (as do the other escrow providers) I hope to escrow more dealings and increase that trust as well.

The fee paid for escrow will ultimately be quite a bit cheaper than the fees you pay for eBay - that and most often the buyer pays the escrow fees.

Let me know if I can be of service if you do bring those over here to the forums to sell
