We don't currently offer an escrow service - But this is something that is in Marketplace 2 - so it's coming in the next 6 months. Considering the number of transactions that happen on BHW 10-15 approved shits lists per month aren't that high but clearly, we'd like it to be lower.
Always remember age on the site isn't the only contributing factor you need to consider.
There are many pages on the shitlist going back to 2007 -
https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/dispute-resolution.31/page-120 but $47k of scams isn't strictly accurate for scam sales on BHW when you go beyond the subject lines.
That's why we have the shitlist. Which is another unique facility on BHW.
Or just read their profile and see if, based on their previous posts, they are the sort of member you'd do business with. IE if they just list bumps on their sales thread then this may not be the merchant for you. However if they post detailed articles about the topic you're shopping for and show their knowledge on the subject then consider purchasing from them?
Asked - will BHW offer Escrow ?
Answered - yes it will be part of BHW 2.0 but note for off-forum transactions now and in the future, whilst we try and help out, we're not in a position to assist when you chose to take the transaction elsewhere.
