Why is almost every post on Evo FE only?

I've been reading on here for awhile before getting onto the marketplace. I hear "never FE never FE never FE," then 80% of the posts are FE only. What gives?

A mixture of genuine vendors protecting themselves from Bitcoins volatility which has been fluctuating quite a bit lately...

The rest are those fuckhole scammers who much prefer FE as they find it is easier to get paid this way as buyers are often reluctant to release funds from escrow for packages never arriving and with no proof any attempt has even been made to send them.

You know...

The usual.

It could just be that listings that are FE only generate much more questions/concerns than escrow listings and hence are posted about way more often than escrow based listings.

I have no idea, I've never posted "FE will update" If I FE for a vendor I leave feedback when I've tried it, same goes for when I finalize an order the same day I get it but don't have a chance to sample the product till later. I'm fine with FE'ing, I just follow my intuition and I've never been scammed. I almost bought from XanaxKing a few days before he got busted but I decided to hold off for a while, worked out well for me. Then I was gonna get some dope from DopeMan but I decided to wait a little longer and I thought it was weird that he had every single one of his listings up during the time he was pulling the scam. Then TwistytheClown pulled his scam a few days after I received my stuff from him that I had FE'd for. There are quite a few other vendors I nearly avoided getting scammed by too, hopefully I can keep that record going. Oh wait.. there was one time I was scammed, the Government stole around $100 from me on SR. Not a terrible loss, I was mainly pissed off cause I knew that money would be going towards their war on the people.

I vend on EVO as CDreams and our main reason is to protect us against Bitcoin volatility. When you are dealing with so much cash, it's simply not worth the hit.

I thought most vendors on EVO have to stay in escrow.

Bitcoin is going up. US vendors are more likely to ask you to FE on a domestic order than UK-based vendors because we are a small country with fast postage. If my customers order today they've got their drugs and released the escrow tomorrow. None of this waiting 3 days business.

One good thing has come out of FE'ing. Marketplaces aren't stealing the escrow or gettiong hacked so much because bitcoin is only spending hours on the marketplace instead of days. The markets are much less full of money.

People trust that agora won't rob their money in escrow, but they like cheaper FE listings because they only have to login once. When they are on drugs, trying agora every hour when its down, struggling with capcha codes is Buzz Killington.
