This is the 4 or 5 time a site runs with my money. I know by now that it will happened sooner or later, but what f... pisses me off are you (15-20%) asshole buyers who just leave your order to auto finalize. You get your product after 2-3 days and never bother to return to finalize. Then ill have to wait 18 days for my money. And by the time a site has been up 2 - 4 months, my escrow ballance is holding a lot of btc. And when the site chooses to run with everything, I'm the one left with the loss.
We need to make escrow, on all the sites, auto finalize after 5 days. So that the buyers have to actively ask for more time if the product haven't arrived. This way the pending ballance will be kept to a minimum.
What are you selling?
Buyers on here complain about the lack of vendors on TMP all the time, while vendors complain about faulty single-entity escrow. The solution seems really obvious doesn't it? Let your customers know you're moving and move, someone needs to be the early adopter.
I don't know you and I don't want to give you any funny ideas in case you're a total cunt but if you're an honest to god vendor, direct sales are also a possibility. If you build up enough rep to be known across markets, people will be more eager to buy from you directly or at least to follow you wherever you want to go. It just takes a hell of a customer service but it's possible (and if you're selling weed/LSD/MDMA you might consider posting an ad on Majestic Garden for that).
What you don't want to do is to blindly join another third-party escrow site and hope that this time they won't fucking rob you.
