I was duped into using this Escrow company whilst selling my Digital Camera, my story sounds like many others. I was approached by a client outside of Ebay, he was offering the asking price for the camera, but need it in a hurry as it was coming up to Christmas. I shipped the item and waited, everthing appeared to be normal, until I was due to recieve payment... and like many of you it has never turned up and nor will it.
So as far as I can see Escrow in any of its flavours will not be used by me again, and anyone that refuses to deal with you because you don't accept escrow needs to be informed why that is and if they see reason and are on the level i'm sure they will agree another form of transaction..
I have remembered the ebay ID of the person that ripped me off and I wanted to let everyone know he's one to watch out for "Paulbidpay" who is now trading in ebay France under "tryptique2" beware this seller check the Ebay user ID history, I sent my item to him on the 13th of December 2003
Anyone wishing to contact me is more than welcome to..
