As a new vendor you are not permitted to ask for FE, there are some criteria that you need to have achieved before that is permissible, I also haven't checked your stats to see if you qualify either by the way so this is just a general statement. The most common scam on SR runs a bit like this, new vendor arrives on the scene with lots of self promotion and sends out a few samples of high quality merchandise to some established forum members. When the feedback starts to roll in and people read of the high quality many start to take notice pretty quick and jump on some orders. It is around this point in time the vendor may do one of two things depending on how they want to perpetrate the scam, they my actually vend and continue to send out some orders to keep some positive reports coming in and/or offer some incentive to get buyers to FE, free shipping, a bit extra thrown in, start up introductory sale 'too good to be true' prices or whatever. This is when many people are often parted with their coins, seeing these 'incentives' they lose the ability to engage in rational thought and are seduced by the prospect of a cheap deal etc, they place the order despite seeing an entire page of "FE for trusted vendor" feedback on the vendors page and as soon as their order is marked in transit 10 mins later they hit the 'finalize' button and start to wait for their order that is never coming. Having seen this been played out time and time again I am at a loss as to why anyone would be so stupid as to fall for such a scam, I can only assume there are a large number of people who never use the forums to research vendors before making a purchase and/or they do not know what are the red flags that signal danger signs ahead. If you FE then quite honestly you have no one else to blame but yourself, it really is that simple.
