It's bad policy for a seller to refuse escrow altogether. That defeats one of the main purposes of SR, and eliminates its differentiating feature from other illicits venues.And, yes, as another poster previously mentioned, once this leash is off there is nothing to stop a seller from taking orders for 2-3 weeks then packing up shop and rolling off with the winnings. I'm not saying it's likely in this situation, but there's nothing to keep him or her grounded to the site, and the temptation can be too great for certain types (SYG comes to mind here).The proper, courteous, and buyer-respectful way of doing this is to offer options to buyers. I never refuse an escrow buy from a customer who passes my minimum transaction criteria. That is a staple element of SR. But, if customers feel my reputation warrants it, I do reward customers who decide to take the OOE option with discounts and free shipipng. The elimination of potential scamming, plus being able to roll my float back over much quicker, makes it worthwhile for me to give a discount for customers wanting to take thie route. At this point, probably 75% of my business is out of escrow, and I have and will resend if one of my regular customers or trusted members of the community tells me something failed to arrive OOE. (only 3 instances since I started here, and 2 were caught up in the postal strike back in July - so sellers that aren't getting product there are either shipping very poorly or not instructing their buyers on proper receiving protocols to mitigate risk). You can verify this right on my forum topic straight from my customers.It's a bad call to force early finalization. I definitely tip my hat to your selling presence here on SR and success thus far, but I am 100% against you making this a policy.
