In Europe theres an escrow service http://www.escrow-europa.com/escrow/english/index.htm

Costs 8 euros for a basic transaction, But to be honest, the more we look at these problems the more i feel that 100% guarantee is just not feasable.

There HAS to be an element of trust and that trust falls on us, not VB.org or jelsoft.

Theres two ways you can go about this, the trusting way and the more expensive way (Escrow, Proper company etc) I think we just need to find it in our hearts which one to go for at that particular moment
