Vendor acting shifty or I am paranoid?

I took a chance on a new vendor based on someone else's review on here. I was supposed to receive product in 3 days. Vendor told me to FE on a Saturday and it'd be there on a monday. I worked like almost 18 hours that day so didn't reply til Sunday. I did not FE nor did I feel comfortable doing so as the listing did not require it. Now vendor hasn't replied to any messages and all listings are gone while my funds are in escrow. They have been online today so I assume my messages have been read. They are not a high volume person based on all 16 of their orders. I'll name and shame the vendor and may request the other reddit user to this thread once I get some input. I just have a gut feeling I might be getting screwed. Really need my order before a trip this week. Am I a paranoid moron or does this seem off to anyone else? Ordered April 8th. It auto finalizes in just under 6 days.

Send him this link and then if he doesn't respond in the next few days shame him here on reddit. If your money is in escrow you're fine.

I mean I'm gonna check my mail tomorrow but I feel my act of disputing is imminent. Is there anyway they can close their account and yank my money before leaving?

See: this is why I feel like I'm being an asshole being paranoid, but if the guy's listings are gone, that's shady shit. Edit: I hope I'm just being of little faith but god damn I really needed the product, first time using since dicking around latin america a few years ago. And I don't want to fuck up a new vendor's rep, but at the same time, where's his listings? I really want a good resolution for both parties but if it goes sour I have to act accordingly. I'm naive and too nice perhaps? I just want my blow and I have someone else depending on me as we are going to have a drugs week and this was his first time.

If he doesn't have FE privileges, he cannot ask for FE and that is bannable offense. I would dispute and bring a mod into it.

How quickly do disputes resolve? Is there any chance I can get my refund and order in time to receive a pack by thursday? I don't want to let my buds down

UPDATE FOR POSTERITY: After dispute vendor cancelled order and refunded me. I believe this may be because I provided proof to mod raspi that the vendor had a committed a bannable offense by asking to FE without that privelege. Charge it to the game. I'm off new vendors forever and now scrambling to find a replacement with quick shipping that's not exorbitant cost.
