You'll only get scammed if you finalize early, auto-finalize is currently disabled so if you stay in escrow and you don't end up receiving your package then once the dispute center has been released you'll be able to dispute the transaction and receive a refund. If you want to use other markets then that's fine too, I can understand if you're frustrated but running a marketplace like Silk Road isn't an easy task, there's much more to releasing features than simply coding them, you have to think about security to ensure the marketplace doesn't get compromised or even worse, law enforcement seize the marketplace all together - look what happened to Utopia! It may take a while for everything to be up and running smoothly but the development team aren't willing to compromise on security just to get the features released quicker. Tang.
