To those searching for a PayPal alternative that's safer...

Is this thing any good?

Do you know that the pronunciation of "escrow" in French is literally "escroc", and this word mean "scammer"

I'm just joking...

Looks very interesting, but the fees charged would deter most of us with average sized $$ items from using this service.

How are you considering using this? Really depends upon whether you're a buyer, seller, or service provider as to whether it's an attractive option or not.

Mabe the collector's Society should invent a paypal-like online payment service exclusively for collectibles, and have competitive fees.

 

Heck, it might also assist CS in tracking who owns certain hig-dollar books at any given time. It would also prevent fraud if someone fake-listed a high-$$ book that's known to have been purchased by a different individual.
