Any plans for escrow services? That was the one pain point balanced tackled that Stripe has yet to provide a solution for.

You can control the transfer schedule for your recipients, which should effectively cover what you need to do. (Sorry this isn't clearer in the docs.) Feel free to email us, too. I'm patrick@stripe.com.
Any chance you guys are going to support funding the marketplace balance via the bank account?
Great, will do. Good work on the PR, jumping on this. I'm sure you'll have a ton of e-mails today from this comment --- maybe I'll wait a week or two. :)
It's not the same at all. There's a "Pending" balance and an "Available" balance.

If you were to initiate a transfer after a successful charge, you will get an error. You have to wait days for it to make it to your available balance and transfer then.
