Should escrow be added to MPGH

Stay away scammers...this is your end game

[Danny]

So .. this escrow is going to be crypto.. or are we going to have a system for it ?

I expect it to be similar to other systems I've used before. Each member has a btc wallet generated and linked to their account, you deposit to this then use those funds to purchase from other users. Funds are held by the escrow system then released on confirmation.

disputes go to a staff member like scam reports

Escrow + IM combination will make the trading even harder than it is already imo.

escrow would mean MM services aren't required

Escrow implementation doesn't mean it'd be compulsory right?

I'm pretty sure this would really affect the services that have higher costs, e.g. $50+ as it'd be a safety net for buyers and sellers.

Those who are just selling accounts wouldn't really be affected since those people sell their accounts between 50c to $10 max. Would be pointless to escrow any of this and if the buyer/seller is skeptical over this, a MM would be used to confirm the account works before payment is sent. Since the MM would have the account details, the payment can be sent after confirmation and then the accounts be handed over.

I voted yes, but sure there is the question how escrow will be implemented and whether it will be compulsory or not. I can understand when sellers of accounts who obviously need to sell quite a lot due to low pricing are annoyed of people who forget to release escrow. I think an automatic release after 14 days should be applied if the customer doesn't file a complaint to the staff.

so we can except it from 1st feb ??

[Royce]

As tested by arun system it shows the problems that come with it. I think it should only be forced on SE services since they take such a long time to deal with. I don' think it should be forced on everyone.

Is this a vote to see if arun should continue fixing NPCVend?

that's exactly what it is

[Gugelo2]

Agree. That will save our time and prevent scams

[Copperhorse]

As long as you don't force us to use a pre-alpha product and not fix any of the bugs for over a year then I will say go for it *cough* *cough*

[CloudUser]

NpcVend 2.0?

If you can make it work then yes I don't see any reason as to why not to implement it.

[OrgasmicUnicorn]

Yeah, sure, hopefully, it'll work as well as NPCvend. Instead of "scammed by DAMA" we'll see "MPGH is holding my money for the third month" comments.
But hey, at least you'll have the capital for weed farm, amirite?


Scam doesn't happen because there's lack of escrow or lack of resources to protect buyers. They happen, because you have greedy morons who'll fall for them - majority of scams so far weren't because "oh no, there's no middle man available, what can I do?" but because bunch of retarded kids thought that a friendly guy who promises them new phone for 1/6th of it's price is trustable based on his colorful avatar and post count. So no, escrow won't help with shit; dumb kids will get offers of "hey, if you pay without escrow I'll decrease price by 15% for ya bro" and they'll fell for them.

[Omnibenevolent]

For certain services (E.G SEing services) and purchases that cross a certain amount, this would work well with.

Escrow would be perfect for those situations where people have to wonder 'is this service is too good to be true'.

Just like anything this will come with pros and cons, but implementing a system like this will definitely provide more protection for both buyers and sellers to legitimately do business

[BlazyLazy]

I've used escrow on blackmarket, I love it, it makes you feel more secure, even without a middleman, but also middlemans can be good. Should be a decision if you wanna have a mm or use escrow service.
