And the fundamental point you do not appear to understand it that SR is a free market where buyers and sellers are responsible for the most for themselves, the only protection you have is escrow and if you chose to not use it then you should accept the consequences of your actions be that unintended or otherwise I am totally over reading about people finalizing on some bloody obvious scam then come crying to the forums bleating how SR has let them down. Did SR make you finalize? did SR make you chose to buy from the vendor with 10 pages of FE'd feedback? Did SR make you too lazy to read the forums first and see the multiple threads warning this was a scam? No, you chose to do all those things all by yourself, sucks you got scammed but seriously you let it happen so own it and move on, I bet you won't FE again in the future though, harsh lesson to learn but unfortunately it is the only way some people will get it into their heads about not FE for anyone ever.
