OTOH, if you're the supplier, there is no risk for you to go ahead and send the stuff if you were paid in bitcoin.


Precisely. No risk at all. You don't even have to send your stuff to your client, because you've already been paid.

Bitcoins right now puts the consumer / supplier relationship upside down. The supplier is already right... not the customer. I wonder if any customers will prefer to paying BTC over Paypal, especially after they've been defrauded a few times.


Nobody said it was perfect. It's a shame that a decent escrow service doesn't exist.
