Title: What do you think?
Post by: ragemyfaceoff on January 16, 2013, 05:50 am

Hey everyone,

I am relatively new to SR and just ordered a product from a new seller that offers free shipping if you finalize early. In my naivety, I finalized early and am worried that I got scammed out of about 250$. Only one out of 7 of the reviews on his page says its a scam though. Any insight is appreciated...

Generally, you should be VERY careful when dealing with ANY vendor accused of being a scammer.  You should be particularly careful about NOT finalizing early.  Hopefully they didn't scam you, but if they did, unfortunately, there's not a whole lot that can be done.

Scout,

Unfortunately the comment happened AFTER I placed my order. From now on I don't think I will be ordering from vendors that require FE...

Damn, man, I'm sorry to hear that!  There's still the possibility that the vendor isn't a scammer though - so I guess we will just have to wait and see, but, in the future, it might be best to avoid vendors who ask for buyers to FE.
