You have to pay the person that stands for escrow and the fee depends on how reputable that person is. That's why sometimes if you really trust the other party they prefer not to have an escrow to avoid additional expenses. So it's still up to them.But if the person is trying scam other members here in this forum they probably got caught and their account get banned. You should really avoid to make a transaction to person without knowing his identity or a person who is not reputable if you found it in this forum or else you will end up losing money.As an alternative, OP can use escrow if he really wants to make a trade without doing any KYC. Use a multi-sig or something similar and privacy is likely a non-issue unless they somehow use a well-known address to send their transactions. It is definitely hard to prevent scammers from making new accounts since you don't need any personal details in a public forum, but anyone can choose whether they will use an escrow or not.
