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

Thanks. So I see the fees are usually set by the person offering the escrow service and payable by the buyer. True?
Also, is PayPal a standard method of payment? I don't yet have an ample supply of Bitcoin and want to hold as much as I can for the rebound.
yes - the fees are set by the escrow service - and typical for the buyer to pay - unless seller offers to pay - has happened but more often to not it is the buyer that pays it. My fee is 1%
and typically no, the payment is not with paypal. to do so would mean the escrow would have to pay 2.9% fee and then the seller would also pay a 2.9% fee - If i recall, 2.9% is the paypal fee for receiving funds.
as the seller, you would not be paying though - but if you were the buyer, you could always just use the USD in your paypal account to buy btc to make a purchase without touching what you are hodl'ing.
Makes perfect sense. Thank you.
