"FE Will Update", "FE with Confidence", "fe", conveys ZERO data/insight/help to your fellow buyer. Why do you do this? Can we please all agree to STOP??

Of COURSE you FE'd.. your vendor doesn't allow escrow (either never did or recently switched for like 80% of vendors..).

In all sincerity, what is the purpose of your review? I don't really care that you decided to buy from this vendor. I can see that he has a bazillion sales as well as his average review.

Not sure if I speak for everyone here, but as a average buyer, this is what I hope to learn from a review:

1) How long did it take to arrive?

2) Was the stealth acceptable?

3) What quality was the product (was it correct product and weight)?

4) IF you had any questions/inquiries, was the vendor responsive, helpful, cool?

By not addressing any of these issues, and choosing to give feedback before the product arrives, all you are really saying to us is:

Hey guys! I just sent money to this guy/girl for some gear! It's not in my possession yet, I don't know what quality it is, if it's on point with weight, or when it will actually arrive, but just thought you'd like to know I just sent this vendor some money and am going to put this place-holder 5/5 here! The button clicking process of sending him money went really well.. 5/5 totally!!!

Am I missing something? Please enlighten me if so! Lots of vendors actually ask buyers to NOT rate the gear before it arrives, so it's not like they want you to do this...?

I realize you are telling us you TRUST the vendor but that alone is not enough info to convince many of us to blindly make an FE order.. first and foremost I want to know that the order ARRIVED(!)

Thanks for the insight for anyone who decides to spoeak up and/or this isn't buried.

I think its just part of peoples tradition now, like eBay '5/5 quick etc would recommend what's worse is when its '5/5 underweight and possibly sand'


[8 Points] None:

The worst is on Evo. YOU CAN'T EDIT FEEDBACK. It even says that right above the feedback field. Your "fe'd will update" feedback is worthless and artificially inflating that vendor's ratings.

This is getting more annoying than the reviews.


[3 Points] Naer-Zed:

these reviews are so stupid on evo, it clearly says you can't edit the review once it's posted yet people still leave feedback on FE'd orders


[3 Points] exileofmordor:

I am a noob but thought I was stupid because I read shit that says feedback cannot be updated. Yet I see ton of feedback on EVO saying FE'd will update later. Good to know my brain actually works but WTF people stop leaving positive feedback then posting in other platforms that shit sucked. That only helps about 15% of people when Feedback can help 99% of people.

this whole time i thought FE meant "Free Ecstasy", well I'm going to be disappointed when my orders arrive.


[1 Points] gatorade998:

For every Fe will update later, we also get one of these posts. Both are equally as annoying and both help 0%

As a trusted buyer I demand a SE (ship early) option. So I can receive my drugs with out having to part with my bitcoin right away.


[2 Points] DankNetMarkets:

You forgot: "FE early for trusted seller!"

But seriously, posting these threads is a wast of time.


[1 Points] handbanana84:

you can't make people behave well in a system with a design flaw like this. fix the rules of the game, not the players


[1 Points] None:

Just gonna start adding "check my reddit review" after leaving review on the sellers page

Please stop preaching to the fucking choir.

Um. It's people that are already stupid enough to FE, you aren't going to change them, they are already that thick that breathing and operating a computer is a challenge....

Well, the majority of drug users aren't terribly bright.

Some of the heavy drug users I have seen could best be described as having the IQ of a child.


[1 Points] neil_anblome:

I see this kind of mindless behaviour everywhere, I think these kind of people are bad at communicating generally, not just on Evo. I'm not sure how you can stop it unless the market motivates people to write informative reviews.

The whole point of the written word is to communicate so whenever I write anything I try to imagine what my reader wants to know and then it is easy to say something meaningful.


[1 Points] scHoolboy2:

This used to bother me in the past but now I do it sometimes if its a vendor ive used several times in the past and have had communication with and already left appropriate feedback on various listings


[1 Points] supremebuddahchick:

FE'd for my main plug itchy, will update upon arrival.


[1 Points] 1ReviewReviewer1:

I generally assume the "FE will update" feedbacks usually mean everything went as expected. Basically I assume the reason they didn't update the feedback is because it went well (at least on the markets you CAN update feedback), and they would update it with the negative reasoning if something didn't go properly.
