PS,as an afterthough,what genuine eBidder would not accept escrow? not too many,worth asking always,especially larger transactions.PPL have nothing to hide if they are genuine....have a nice day......

Probably quite a few actually, i dont want the hassle and although paypal fees are high i have never had a problem with them.

If I fancy an item offered by a seller I don't know, I ALWAYS ask if they'll do it through escrow. They almost always answer with something lame like "sorry, no, I haven't set that up yet" (like they don't have 2 minutes to spare), and I always walk away. On the other hand, if the reply is "yes, certainly", I usually won't bother with escrow anyway!

So sellers, take note! If you don't have a solid feedback count, accept escrow payments! The peace of mind for your buyers is worth it.

Let me see if i have this correct. If you were going to buy from me, you would first ask me if i had escrow and then pay a completely different way?? Boy, that REALLY makes me wanna go take the time to get it lol

Im sorry but some people dont want to set up an escrow account because they are happy with what they are already using. They also dont want the hassle of different accounts.

So there you are people, Kenpem advises you to go out an get escrow. But he wont use it to pay you....

It's a question of credibility. If, as a seller, you are prepared to accept escrow, chances are you're honest and that's often good enough for me. The very fact that you're willing increases confidence.

And of course if I'm buying a high-value item, I WILL use an escrow service.

I know what you meant, i was just teasing

Its like me messaging people and asking why their postage is so high, i know why its high, they know why its high. Its so they can keep the cost of the item down... if they reply in a rude way im not buying. If they are polite and honest i am buying.

...or (on t'other side, mostly) to keep their fees down. I've seen it done here too - a remote-controlled car for a fiver, with £25 postage. Not a problem for seasoned e-buyers, but will catch out some poor newbie sods, I'm sure. Or maybe that's the idea?
