After seeing what has been going on in the Esato Markets recently,
here and
here its about time something was done about it.
I was thinking that for all trades done where the feedback is on the low side then a Treasurer should be nominated to keep hold of the goods until the payment has been received.
Any more ideas would be welcome.
So far:
Batesie
Scottt
Masseur and
Peterkay
have offered their services.
If anyone has any objections to these fine people becoming a middleman for trade transactions then let us know.
If you think you can offer your services as a middle man then please let us know.

Nice thought, goldenface... but maybe hard to administer???
Laffen? Bobafett, sir???

the suggestion of escrow has been brought up a few times and I have even offered to do this myself (and indeed have done so a couple of times for a member here), but it doesn't seem to have much popularity, possibly because it doubles postage costs and also delays the transaction.
...but perhaps thats a price that has to be paid for safe transactions

There seems to be a lot of it about at the moment, may be its needed as a temporary measure and optional of course.
The treasurer of course would have millions of positive feedback.
Personally, trading here at the moment, I wouldn't mind paying another £3-5 on postage if it meant things going smoothly.

Excellent idea something needs to be done, I must admit I was a little hasty in Paying, but can I really be blamed for being so trusting? and it was only afterwards I realised exactly who he was!
It wouldn't be so bad if there were enough "Treasurers" dotted about so that exchanges of goods could be done in person but again this is a lot of hassle!
I know I would certainly help out where possible!

Escrow is the best way of making a secure transaction.
a treasurer from here, well they would have to be elected, and want to do it in the first place! i guess in therory for purchases over a certain amount it would be a good idea.

well, I'm always here to help, though I don't have millions of feedback, but hopefully I can be trusted just a bit
anyway, thats just one possibility as there are several here who fit the bill IMHO

Well if there was an elected pool of Treasurers then the work load would be shared so they would only have to act as Treasurer very rarely.
Also, he/she would have to be acceptable to both traders.
Oh, and the treasurer could only act on one transaction at a time?

I don't think you can elect yourself batesie
Hooray, batesie and Masseur are our 1st in the pool.
Shall we get MikLSP involved. Maybe he can draw some system of voting and listing?
