You all bitch and complain about us vendors not realising, even on DPR's word 99%+ of transactions go smoothly. The <1% of transactions that screw up are usually scammers and it can only work one way, you have to trust vendors. If we trusted buyers to pay us without any guarantees we'd just get ripped off and thing would fall apart. If you don't like FE'ing then just find another vendor, there are plenty here who don't ask you to FE. It's all about risk in our eyes so if you work on weeding out scammers or know a better way then please share it with us because at the end of the day, it's our business.
