Greetings,

So, I have 10 FPGAs and 4 GPUs in my mining rig and have been mining for about a year now. I want to make the transition to ASIC hardware and have found some interesting auctions (mostly on eBay). I have contacted the seller and we have agreed on the btc amount. I have requested the use of an escrow service (seller's choice) and I will pay the escrow fee and pay the shipping (via PayPal direct to the email of the seller).

Multiple times now, I have been told "I don't do escrow". When asked why, the response has always been "I have never used one before". Am I missing something? Why would any seller/buyer NOT want to use a reputable escrow service? There is no cost to the seller and this way both buyer and seller are protected. Would you really just send thousands of dollars in bitcoins to a wallet address and then hope the seller does actually ship the advertised item? I am not implying that anyone I have been dealing with is untrustworthy, I just seem to be missing something.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

Just go to Wallmart and get one direct!! Undecided
