So i'm rather new to deepweb purchasing... When a seller offers full escrow protection, is that a good indicator that the seller is legitimate?
Does Escrow Always Mean A Safe Transaction?

I'd say trusting a well known vendor even FE is much better that ordering from a jerk off vendor with several negative feedback even if you stay in escrow.

Still easy to be scammed with escrow offerings. A lot of vendors offer on a 50% refund in case of a lost package, meaning they can never send your shit and still keep half the money. Honestly I think this method is more common than FE scams because it's much easier for a vendor to still look legit while scamming new customers they don't have a strong working relationship with. Don't trust markets or escrow; if you build relationships with trustworthy vendors you won't need them. Finding those guys takes time and a lot of research. And marketplace forums are a helluva lot better than reddit to get info on specific vendors.

No it does not always mean a safe transaction. I've had several experiences of vendors attempting to scam me whilst money is held in Escrow. A lot of markets won't even let you leave feedback until money is released, and therefore you have no way of letting others no in the feedback unless you want to lose out.

there is always a chance the market will get shut down or exit scam with your coins in escrow, I've lost some that way
Depends on who you trust more.
Your vendor or your market.
Just remember, FE doesn't stand for full escrow.
