Dispute resolution is trivial with a 2-of-3 multisig. The customer locks up funds until service has been provided and then in the ideal case the customer and merchant agree and pay the merchant. If there's a dispute, the dispute resolver can forcibly send funds with the cooperation of either party.


The bit of dispute resolution where the money is sent isn't the hard bit -- it's actually doing the resolution. Bitcoin doesn't help with that at all.
