Dannyhamilton. Would you escrow for me if I decided to try to sell some stuff? Would having a good rep on eBay help me out. I realize I'm new here is why I'm asking. It would only be for smaller stuff under 100usd

I only escrow for members of this forum, so if you are selling on EBay, then you'll have to hope that the buyer is also a member of this forum (or convince them to join).

If you are selling here in the "Marketplace" sub-forum, then I'd be happy to escrow for you. Once you have a buyer and you've worked out all the terms of the transaction, send me a PM with the buyer's bitcointalk ID, the amount of bitcoins being exchanged, the item being sent, and any other terms or conditions for escrow release that you've negotiated. When I'm online, I'll write up an escrow agreement and send it to both of you. If I'm online when you send the request, I'll typically send an agreement out within an hour unless I'm very busy.

Important Notes:

I only escrow for bitcoin transactions. If you decide to sell for any altcoins (including litecoin and/or peercoin) then you will need to find another escrow provider.
Do not accept an escrow agreement that is forwarded to you by the buyer or someone else. You will always get the escrow agreement directly from the escrow provider. There is a very good chance that any forwarded agreement is fake.
Check very carefully and make sure that the escrow agreement is from the userID that you think it is from. There are at least 6 people that have created userID's that look VERY much like "DannyHamilton" with just a slight spelling error. They use these to impersonate me and attempt to scam other people.
Consider learning how to verify a PGP signature. Four of the top five escrow providers on this forum are all willing and able to sign their escrow agreements. By verifying the signature you can avoid being scammed by someone that hacks the bitcointalk account of an escrow provider.
Be aware that if buyers post in your thread scammers may create a userID that looks a lot like yours and respond to the buyer pretending to be you. They will try to trick the buyer into sending the bitcoins directly to them instead of to you.
