You are quite correct... it's possible to have no deposit, or 10X deposit for that matter - or once timelocks are implemented to have payments occur on a pre-defined schedule.  So for example, if you are an unknown seller with an unknown reputation - it's quite possible that you would have to do a full double-deposit escrow contract to attract buyers given your lack of reputation... in time you wouldn't need that.  

With smart contracts it should be possible to also have a 'normal' escrow account as well (provided said party was trusted by both individuals) with a multisig account defined.  If either party fails to accept, but the pre-determined arbiter does accept both sides... then the contract is fulfilled and the deposits returned.  As far as payment for services, etc. it would be easy to simply set up something where until cancelled by either party a specific amount is paid out per week... up to the maximum.  If escrow is not involved and payment is one-way, then the remaining funds would be returned (at least as I understand the Halo whitepapers... I admit that I haven't actually attempted to code such a contract myself).

As with everything, it's just meaningless conjecture on all sides until we have the tools in our hands and can start trying out different options and providing feedback to David and the rest of the team as far as options/improvements that are necessary for our various prospective uses.  It's quite easy to imagine that the purposes for which I am excited about using this marketplace are different from someone else's... it's also possible that once we've gotten more familiar with the interface and options - we'll have even more ideas for application which are currently unimaginable.

Fine, as someone looking for job I would just use Odesk where I don't have to risk "money" in order to apply for a job.

See..what you don't understand is that if I have the money. Why would I look for job? or if I have $600 why would I buy something that costs $300? It makes more sense to just visit Ebay or other store and buy one that costs $500 instead of throwing double money in escrow.

The main reason people buy something on Ebay is because they don't have money to buy same thing at higher price in store. That means if they want to buy $300 cellphone they DON'T have $600.

I never said it's useless. I said I don't think it's mandatory and it's probably used as precaution when you're making big deal with a buyer who is in different country than you are.

Just to rap up the last 2 pages,

Person A wants to buy an expensive donkey at 3000 but they do not have 6000 for the dd, pretty simple stuff they do not have enough to make the purchase lol

Now person A wants to buy something they can actually afford lets say a donkey fart for 50, now she has enough for the fart and pays 100 total which 50 will return on a successful trade,  if it is their first deals.

All goes well with the deal for person A and she continues to buy what she can infact afford!!! 10 deals laters she wants to buy her 3000 donkey but because A  has been a good girl she now only needs (3500ish) total because she is slightly trusted further down the road after x amount of completed deals, person A WILL BECOME TRUSTED because she was trust worthy.

(A market built on trust as described)

Few deals more person A would not need to deposit hardly anything i hope that is  easy to understand

yes, I mention there btc
is more than a year - and is the largest in Poland

It might be worthwhile to link the project with them bitbay example in the exchange?

...emotional opinion

You dumb fuck, if you are not the organizer of this scam and not one of the dumpers, in other words if you are just an idiot who beleives in the fairy tale of 1 billion $ business, then just shut the fuck up, because you are arguing so hard that for this scam that it is getting embarrassing.

If you are one of the organizers of this scam, then there is at least a rational explanation why you are arguing so hard, but in this case still shut the fuck up, because we got your point that Bitbay will take on eBay ... yeah it will.

Dude. Calm the fck down. I have more bay than you can possibly imagine so no need to act childish & call names. I know you want Bay to reach $1 so you can run away with your profit and you'll bash anyone who questions anything but many of us ARE not looking to run away with profit and we do see future in Bay and proper discussion is required in order to achieve that success.

I'm putting you in ignore list just for acting like 2 yrs old

That's completely false, I have actually used both ebay and Odesk as seller of product/service, both starting from 0 feedback, and easily sold my product/service. Sure the profit/price was lower in the beginning while I'm establishing my reputation, but it's false to say "nobody" will buy from you when you have 0 feedback.
