maybe a little off topic sorry.
i don't use any escrow, my terms are "pay me, when money arrives i give you the key"
nowww i do very fewwwwwwww , but its always been acceptable.
i have even said to people "go on dnt, you'll see i'm there, people know me"
i've been on other forums and they have star ratings, maybe this would help on dnt as well as i see the "trophy points" don't show up on posts.
neds always said linkedin is a good way to get cred.
having your own website does help as well. ( now i actually have one after soooooooo long)
