Are you fucking serious?  You are spamming this bullshit and yet the entire problem arose when you CHOSE to go outside of the escrow system to finalize early for a vendor that other people were having problems with.

The vendor feedback score is based on feedback from buyers - it is NOT assigned by SR itself. 

Why were funds let go?  BECAUSE YOU CHOSE TO FINALIZE EARLY.  That's what FINALIZING EARLY means -- it means you are choosing to leave the escrow system and pay a vendor before you receive anything. 

We warn against this EVERYWHERE.

Get a grip - you lost money, and that sucks, yes, but it's not SR's fault.  The escrow system is in place FOR A REASON -- TO PROTECT BUYERS.

also... vendors can boost their rating w/ bogus buyer accounts. You should always thoroughly investigate a vendor by looking at what types of transactions have boosted their rating levels. The forums are also a fantastic resource to get reviews on potential vendors.
