Possibly Marketplace upgrade

What do you think of this upgrade idea for the marketplace (I think it will fix 100% of the scamming):

- Marketplace option to hold points in escrow (user that is GIVING points doesn't actually SEND them until he clicks release Escrow). The reason is, if you are GIVING points to someone, those points are locked and FROZEN when you give the points. Neither party gets the points but you lose the points (Deducted from you).

Here's the reason. Let's say you are trading $5.00 carbon for 2000 points. You are giving the 2000 points. You trade them to JOE for 2000 points (Points are deducted from you and frozen in Escrow).

Now 3 scenarios can happen:

#1 Joe actually sends you the $5.00, life is good. You click release escrow. Joe now gets the points everyone is happy

#2 Joe tried to scam you, he never sent the $5.00. It's now up to Joe & YOU to convince me who should get the points (Just like a dispute). I will declare a winner.

#3 Joe sent you the $5.00 and you didn't release the points. Joe has to show me some email or confirmation that he sent you the money and I will award Joe the winner

I'm guessing the other party could dispute it then.

Sounds like a good idea Zab.

You'd only need me to step in if there's an issue. Otherwise, you can go about your business and release the points yourself. The bottom line is, the points are frozen from both parties when a transaction occurs.

Yes this sounds like a great idea as long you have to have the points truly frozen and not allow the sender to cancel though.

Yup that's not an issue. Once the trade is initiated (Accepted) by the other party, they are totally frozen

Joe Posts- $5.00 Carbon For Sale - 2000 Points!!
You say OKAY I'm in (Click trade -2000 points to your account but are frozen)
Joe Sends you $5.00
You say SWEET (Click Release Escrow which releases the points)

Not hard, just 1 extra step

Now he'll have to ship me that Kevin Durant Rookie Card before he gets his points ;) Seriously though, this is a great idea and would make me feel more comfortable about doing trades in the marketplace.

i think anything to make trading and backing one another easier and more scam free is good for the site.
