Craigslist is cash-only by design, which is exactly why deals go wrong. Firestarter lets you pay a Craigslist seller through real escrow: your money is held until they prove they have the item and you receive it. No meetups with an envelope of cash, no wire transfers.
Yes. Craigslist does not offer escrow, but you can add it to any Craigslist deal with Firestarter. Paste the listing link and your email at firestarter.network/request, send the seller the claim link, and once they verify possession you pay safely into escrow.
It is true for the classic scam where a stranger sends you to a fake escrow website and asks you to wire money. Real escrow like Firestarter never asks for a wire transfer: you pay by card, Firestarter holds the money, and the seller must prove possession before the listing goes live.
