Title: Finalizing Escrow
Post by: Dobbs on November 16, 2011, 12:17 am

How long does it take for the seller to get the bitcoin after the buyer finalizes?  Is there anything else the buyer needs to do at this point?  I finalized over an hour ago and the bitcoin is still in escrow.

After something is shipped, you are supposed to finalize as soon as you get product.  'Finalizing early' means you do this before you actually get product, so vendor can recover his money.  It helps the vendor, but if you have problems, then you have no recourse, no appeal.

Do NOT finalize early. It's a rookie mistake.
