I recently placed an order on blackbank. The order was confirmed, but is still marked as not shipped. On the right hand side of the order page next to the order there's a red flag that says "Flagged for dispute." Is this normal is the vendor actually trying to dispute something? How could he do that when the order hasn't even been marked as shipped?
When you place an order the money goes into escrow. Vendors on blackbank are not given the option of just releasing the funds back to the buyer so they have to file a dispute and get the mods to release the funds back to you. More than likely he ran out of product or something aka doing the honorable thing instead of just taking the money or making you unknowingly wait till he re-ups.
