TorEscrow requires no vendor bond/fee to buy or sale. Has been around over 5 months.
Seller fees being related to their community standing. After 10 successful transactions with positive ratings you will have a seller fee 1%.
They will also eventually be invite only, forcing new members to associate with older members to prevent retirement scams.
By disconnecting the market ads they are less interesting to the press and LE. They also have a smaller attack surface without image uploads.
I am going to go ahead and link your subreddit alongside your TorEscrow link on our sidebar. Good luck with your forum!
