Title: No Escrow Option for Sellers
Post by: ccxv01 on July 10, 2012, 01:38 pm
Hey Guys,

As a buyer, I find it frustrating seeing almost all vendor feedback "FE ... will update" .etc

I think that sellers should be able to choose on their listings, if they are going through escrow or not.

Once a non-escrow item is bought, full payment is released to the seller and the order goes through normally and you finalize once you receive the item.

I'm not condoning non-escrow transactions however, if they're going to do it anyway, I'd rather the feedback all be legit.

Maybe a higher SR fee seller fee for items that are not in escrow to deter it's use.

I don't know, just an idea. I'd love to know what you guys think.

That and allowing us to choose which reviews are most helpful so the next guy isnt looking at "FE early will update" Most never update anyway...

no. i dont like this idea. i never finalize early. if we were to do this its just making out of escrow transactions more accepted.

No, that's not the intent.. When buying a non-escrow item, there should be warnings and disclaimers everywhere.

The point of this is to ensure feedback only shows for completed transactions only.

If a buyer does not edit his feedback, we can assume it was ok. He would be more inclined to edit feedback if he didn't receive anything.

Just read the true feedback and ignore the ones saying will edit later. I don't ask for F.E. and don't like these kind of feedback too. With a F.E. as standard, will only allow buyer to not give any feedback, so you don't know if he received or not.

And F.E. is always a bad decision.
