Title: wumg00 might have to leave SR due to new policies!!
Post by: wumg00 on January 09, 2012, 05:01 am
 I just received news about the fees increase. I have no problem with the fees increase HOWEVER if i MUST keep all my transactions in escrow, I am effectively out of business, I cannot afford to put that much money out of my pocket for a week some times ten days until the customer gets their packages! I would basically be able to sell for one day every two weeks and then I would have to wait for everyone to get their mail to finalize and I can reup and sell more. if we are really doing absolutely no out of escrows, I AM OUT OF BUSINESS!! Look at all my transactions so far, everyone has gotten their packages and most were done out of escrow and now I cant serve these same customers anymore!??!??! I believe it should be up to the buyer if they trust the vendor enough to finalize early and, if not, to either agree to an escrow or just dont do business with that vendor!!! I thought this place was support to support the free market!! well, your killing my free market!! I HOPE THIS ISNT THE END OF WUMG00 ON SR!!!  :'(
 please people,I am sure some other good vendors will have the same problem, so if you want to keep them, and me, please get SR to NOT implement this or a lot of QUALITY VENDORS are gonna be out of biz!!

If you look at the original thread announcing the new policies, SR has clarified that the out of escrow ban does NOT include banning early finalization.

Yeah, check out SR's posting clarifying the issue on page 3 of the thread.  Apparently you were not the only vendor who was worried about cash flow...

GOOD NEWS!! SR CLEARED THINGS UP AND MADE A DIRECT ANSWER TO MY POST WITH THE FOLLOWING QUOTE;

Just to be clear, no mention of banning finalizing early was made.  We recognize the cash-flow needs of vendors and are working to address these needs while preventing scams arising from finalizing early.  At this point though, while we advise buyers to avoid finalizing early at all costs, vendors are still free to request it.
