Hive account@jockey and I have walked through the first transaction using the 
Hive account@steemshop process using the 
Hive account@steemshopescrow account
...and we are pleased to announce that it works perfectly!
Why is the escrow account important?
Because it improves financial security during the transaction process.
Please follow these SIX SIMPLE STEPS to better understand this process:
STEP 1
Sales Post
Hive account@samstonehill's sales post had been resteemed into the Hive account@steemshop account because he used #steemshop as one of his five tags
Hive account@jockey informed Hive account@samstonehill that he wanted to buy his photo
STEP 2
Hive account@jockey transferred 1 SBD to Hive account@steemshopescrow account
Please use the original title of the sales post as your memo at this stage
It is worth noting that Hive account@steemshopescrow can be easily misspelt and Steemshop will not be held liable if you make a mistake.
STEP 3
Hive account@samstonehill saw the payment had been made into Hive account@steemshopescrow account
Using steemit.chat, Hive account@samstonehill then sent a wetransfer link to Hive account@jockey for the download of the high resolution royalty free photograph
STEP 4
Hive account@jockey then informed Hive account@steemshop on steemit.chat to release the money to Hive account@samstonehill
STEP 5
Hive account@steemshopescrow sent 1 SBD to Hive account@samstonehill using original sales title as the memo
STEP 6
Finally Hive account@jockey sent 0.01 SBD to 
Hive account@steemshopescow with a memo confirming completion of transaction and any thoughts or comments.
The 0.01 SBD will buy you a resteem into the Hive account@samstonehill and Hive account@jockey accounts who have a combined total of 1400 followers.
The benefits of Step 6
Successful transactions will be clearly visible in the Hive account@steemshopescrow wallet, building confidence within the community
The buyers can view previous successful transactions by the seller
The resteeming to an extra 1400+ follows will earn you extra pay-out from your sales post
We hope this clarifies the escrow transaction process.
All suggestions welcome.
