Quote from: poopjerk on October 14, 2012, 11:22 pmThis is a terrible feature. I am a new vendor and very upset by this rule.As you stated, you're a new vendor; if you were of the scamming type you could ask buyers to FE, not send out any product, and just run off with their money. A scammer only has to make $150 before breaking even and everything above that is pure profit.Quote from: HeadacheHealer on October 07, 2012, 10:26 pm35 transactions! C'mon, that sucks... I'm a new vendor and scared to work with new buyers, but wanted to give them the option to FE if THEY insisted on it, but that won't work...And I've even sent express packages to a few established buyers, going from my hands to their hands on the other side of the country in ~20 hours, and they can't click finalize for days after!Why on earth would a buyer insist on Finalizing Early and removing themselves from the safety of the escrow system for a new vendor?! That is absurd! ???The restriction on new vendors is 35+ transactions and 1+ month of vending. If you reach either without the other, you will still not be able to ask buyers to FE. Speaking of which, I would always recommend new buyers NOT to FE; 99% of the time you WILL be able to find a vendor who will work within the escrow system for your safety, and the vendor's safety.Quote from: pPharm on October 15, 2012, 12:37 amIt is annoying (and sometimes funny when a customer can't finalize because the package got there too quickly) but it is there for a reason. 35 transactions isn't really that much. I've been vending for a week and a half (including my samples period) and am about halfway there. It prevents people from opening a new vendor account, requiring FE and then scamming everyone who ordered and then just making a new account etc. You have to put in effort as a (hopefully) solid vendor first.Glad to see a new vendor here who recognises the importance of the escrow system. Welcome, and best of luck with your new venture. :)- grahamgreene
