What? Vendors absolutely DO get informed of the rules. They know very well that they are supposed to stay in escrow for everything. They also know not to fuck with their own feedback. Honestly, at this point it just feels like you're trying to rile people up and imply that SR is unfair. It isn't. If you truly believe they are so unjust, then I welcome you to find another anonymous marketplace like this and go be happy there. You don't even know the full story on SamGiancana and yet you insist on acting as though you do. You don't. If a scammer is caught, SR absolutely has the right to freeze their funds here! They also have the right to issue refunds in those cases to buyers who remained in escrow with the scammer. Everything you're saying implies that you'd rather SR hand the scammer all of their ill-gained money on their way out! Not going to happen, nor should it.
