Escrow systems reduce risk but add friction. For forums built on trust and relationships, does escrow improve confidence or make transactions feel too formal?

I have been on a lot of forums but I haven't seen any forum using Escrow on the marketplace section. Since escrow will protect both buyers and sellers, using Escrow will build trust.

It depends on the kind of vibes I see the people in the community give. If I don’t have any reason to doubt anyone then there is no need for escrow.
