“Maybe they will do it someday for you." If not, it's not too bad. They admitted they let scammers into their site, and if they screw you over, it's just too bad, no protection at all. They have no way to do anything for you if an "artist" scammer never delivers anything.”

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Buyers on creator marketplaces (Fiverr, Upwork, Vgen) face scam risk; no search volume signal, but fraud complaints are endemic to these platforms.
Competition & the opening
Platform-native escrow (Fiverr, Upwork) exists but buyers report poor recourse; a standalone escrow tool would need to position as neutral third-party, not a replacement.
What's hard to build
Escrow and dispute resolution require holding buyer funds in trust (regulatory licensing), managing chargebacks and disputes (legal exposure), and critical mass on both sides—hard to bootstrap without one marketplace's network.
Why now
Marketplace fraud is accelerating as peer-to-peer platforms scale without proper trust infrastructure.
How you'd monetize
