Default When buying stuff from private sellers, have you ever used an escrow service or do you just go on

trust? I want to trust other folks, but if the dollar amounts get higher than $100 or so, I get nervous.

Thoughts?

Default I used it twice

I used it twice, some sellers don't like this service, because they have to wait for you to approve the product you are receiving, and the process is long.. you can try it.. it's ok..
MOst of the times I use paypal..

Default I was reading on the Paypal site that even if the buyer disputes the charge and wins, you'll only

get money back if the seller has money on their account. If the seller closes their account, you're screwed.
