Sending BTC first for a gift card is LESS SAFE. ESCROW is Safer then no escrow normally.

No, Sending bitcoins first OR sending the item first are both NOT SAFE even with escrow.

hi,

I just want to make somethings clear, if you are a seller accepting escrow well u can easly get scammed ... so how ?

A buyer can simply tell the escrow service for example The gift card is not working and has no balance after using it and since the escrow guy have no idea if the card was valid or not he will just refund money back trust me.

Any escrow can easly get scammed even for physical goods the buyer can simply use an item than fuck it up and yeah he will tell the escrow guy its not working and if it was working than the buyer can simply Make it not working after using it fast Cool

... Trust me the buyer WILL SCAM
YOU.

DO NOT TRUST ANY ESCROW SERVICE CAUSE THEY WILL SCREW YOU.

Scammer = Seller/Buyer.

Now lets see the mind blowing bullsh**t reactions Cool

If you are selling a gift card with escrow have the escrow check the balance before giving it to the buyer or use an escrow that will teamviewer or some other way of watching the buyer enter the code on their own account.

For physical goods that's another easy one, insure your packages and have signature delivery. I think if you did it this way you would get a neg trust or at least a neutral saying the item was shipped and then "arrived broken". A buyer might get away with this a few times but not that many, and still you would have to return it in most cases so you would only be using the item.

Than the escrow guy can easly put his self in danger since he will be connected to the buyer PC/Device and There are MANY (Private ) teamviwer exploits ALso the escrow guy will not be safe since he can also be tracked and some other things LIKE the buyer can easly inject a JS script that will show the card is NOT valid.

You said "A buyer might get away with this a few times"

So the seller can just suck Balls for the few scam times ?

I'll tell you just what you told others, READ.

The buyer might get away with being able to break an item and get a refund, that doesn't stop them from having to return the item. Online stores and buyers do this all the time, as a buyer you could get in trouble for falsifying claims, even if the seller files the claims it is still based off of your word. And all you got was the use of the item for that one time.

If you have a problem with gift card escrows, stop using sketchy places, buy from someone that has done many transactions before or don't be cheap and buy the gift card from gyft. If its a gift card they don't sell find somewhere else. There is no infallible system, take your own precautions and protect yourself. As a seller don't sell cards that can't be verified or that you can't prove the balance of...

If you would like better reasons for escrow being unsafe there are a few threads in the scam accusation sub that you would find interest in. There are legitimate bad escrow experiences in there recently.

So what's your story? Did you get scammed as a seller or did a seller request escrow and you are complaining about it?

Sir congrats you just reached the PURE BULLSHIT LEVEL .

All your points are invalid and im unable to reply to u cause u seems didnt understand nothing above.

People like you are the reason for this world to always stay fucked up.

But yh thank u for the input.
