Title: no finalize early button
Post by: blablaalbalb on March 18, 2013, 08:10 pm
So i just placed my first order on SR. vendor has way more than 35 transactions, so he IS NOT NEW.
I wanted to finalize early and I read somewhere, that this option will be offered after i placed the order.
There should be some button saying "finalize early" or something, but there is NONE.
there is actually no button at all on my transaction page, not even a greyed out one...
1.) SO HOW CAN I FE?

an other thing: the vendor says he needs me to finalize early. After every FE order i am supposed to leave feedback so that he can track my order down. 2.) why would he need my feedback for that?
and more importantly: 3.) HOW do I leave feedback? there is no button or anything?
thx a lot

What would you want to finalize early? Is the vendor asking you to do so? If so buy from someone else.

If you FE you assume all risk if anything goes wrong and SR will not be able to help you with resolution.

Thank you for your quick answers.

It's just strange that everybody seams to FE, don't they?
this vendor for example requires everybody to FE every order below a certain amount.
And everbody actually DOES (at least they ALL claim that in the feedback postings...).
Also he is one of the most trusted vendors on SR, top 1 % or something.
I'm getting the feeling that I did not quite understand what FE really means.
I thought everybody actually HAS TO FE their first 5 orders on SR
.
Maybe THAT is why there is no Button to do so? because I don't have a choice but to pay before I get the order?
That is what FE means, isn't it?

My account is btw already updated, the amount I wanted to pay is gone...

I strongly recommend you do not place any orders on SR until you have thoroughly read the SR wiki (link is in the sticky in the FAQ) and spent some time on the forums researching how to safely navigate this place.

Finalizing early is not advised, if you do you have no protection and support from SR if you run into trouble with your order. Go and read up on the escrow system in the buyers guide before posting anything further then report back if you still have questions.
