The reality is escrow is a great thing and it is the best option until someone suggest a better idea. Your idea wasn't better. That is my opinion and my input in the discussion Vendor losses can be devastating i agree however - 'Some vendors owe money to scary fuckers' - nothing to do with sr that is their personal problem and cannot be blamed on escrow or sr. If you are going out of business Losing escrow every few months then you are running your business incorrectly. I buy on this site and i have bought off the old. I have also vended on the old site. None of this matters as we are all free here to voice our concerns, suggestions and opinions For your information i have always used FE when buying and vending and i am very happy with it.
