110

I've tried all sorts of methods to find the middle ground. 90 percent of the buyers here are great. I've done the FE if you have less than 10 perfect transactions, etc. Escrow isn't perfect, nothing ever will be. But, I believe something needs to be tweaked. But, I keep the grand majority of my transactions without FE. Only large orders from a newer buyer or someone that has 20 orders but has 20 percent of them had issues.
I've even offered two prices. one for FE and one not. I also send every single package with a DCN, but that still doesnt stop the reverse scammers (I only received 3 items when i ordered 100) or whatever. We all have to remember that mailmen might have sticky fingers, roomates, lovers, your dog, whatever. Also, SR is trying out a new system to get vendors not to FE but thats just taking money away from the vendor in the long run. But may be a good alternative to a new seller.
I would love if the system was perfect, but it isn't and never can be. All vendors have their rules for their reasons. I am a buyer too and had to finalize early recently, lol (I dont buy that often and its under another name, obv). but I understood where the vendor was coming from and i was willing to take the risk. I havent received the product yet, but it hasnt been enough time. Each vendor has their own unique situation. if you dont like it. talk to them. I have worked things out all the time with buyers in sticky situations.. If you don't feel comfy, then go find another vendor.... But, I wish that its perfect but Im realistic...
