Ya, you mention escrow too much... confusing. .It should be always there for all purchases. ?If FE is a problem, you can always use tracking on all orders and confirm delivery was complete. No refunds or those orders that are complete as delivered. Simple.If you require FE because you need the cash, SR has a loan system for vendors for that. Borrow some cash. You can also get a line of credit from credit card or whatever. . if you need cash flow to operate a vending account.So, I'm not sure why vendors are scared of getting scammed by buyers.? There should be no other delivery options. Just tracked delivery to confirm the package made it to the mailbox. If it does - no refunds. In a dispute, the vendors only has to show the tracking details to prove the package made it. If it got snatched in the person mailbox after delivery, too bad. Call the cops for mail theft or get a better mailbox or buy a PO Box that is locked. Not the vendors problem. How else can a vendor be scammed? Also, vending / running a business assumes some loss. Its the cost of doing business. There will always be refunds and wasted products and unhappy customers.I wanted to buy from you, but I'm confused about the escrow thing. I only use escrow. No exceptions. You are a new vendor and I'm still sketched out a bit by that. Its hard to get buyers to switch from their tried-and-true favorite vendors to a new, untested vendor. - Its asking alot actually... .think about it. You are asking people to take a risk and chance on you. You are asking people to step out of their safe zone to reach you.A good promotion that could help is if you offer a deal on subsequent purchases. So, you demonstrate that the more often you buy from you, the better the deal gets incrementally. So, there is a sense of longevity and security that you are there for the long haul and worth considering as a vendor. Another thing, its a lot of work checking out a new vendor, Pages refresh slowly and check out all the listings and read the long and windy vendor profile page, and you have to add their PGP key to your ring . it all takes time. . . just to try out a new vendor.So, a good question to ask is:"What are you going to offer to sway me from my regular and trusted vendor I buy from, and try out you?"The 20% sale is a good incentive. Good work.Isn't marketing fun? Its hard to please customers and you can't make everyone happy.
