Why would you send "your people" to collect a deposit .. rather than just send "your people" to do the deal there and then?
Because the minimum amount of the deal seems to suggest that we're not selling cakes. A security deposit is needed to cover the costs.
I'll describe the simplest situation for you to understand why you (
the buyer) need a security deposit to work with us.
Let's say you want to buy BTC from us for a minimum amount of 20k EUR in Paris. In the chat we have discussed all the conditions, set the final date of the deal, the place of the deal and the time of the deal. In the day of the deal our guys came to the meeting place... But you, and your men didn't come for
some reason.
We are
not interested in the reason why the buyer didn't show up. This means by default that the deal is canceled, and without a security deposit our guys have losses that include money for the road, time (spent in vain) which could be spent with more benefit and go to the real deal, etc.
Also, there are a lot of stupid schoolchildren in the crypto-community, who often write to me, "
I want to buy a BTC for 100k USD", - ok, we are always ready. But when it comes to the insurance deposit and discussion of the details of the deal, these schoolchildren are escaping out of the chat.
The deal is on the buyer's territory, which means that he is able to provide security.
to collect the deposit
well if no one shows up you have wasted costs just as if you were carrying out the actual transaction. So now you're sending "your guys" twice instead of just once
