Title: PART FINALIZE EARLY OPTION
Post by: ZenAndTheArt on April 28, 2012, 12:53 pm
  I know everyone says that finalizing early is at your own risk. But some established vendors demand FE or will not trade with you (I could name a few)! Seeing as the standard refund is 50% if your order does not arrive, why not have an Part Finalize Early option of 50% (although the % could be changed).
  For example, someone places a large order, they are worried about losing all their money if something goes wrong. So, they press the Part Finalize Early (PFE) option and set it to 50%. The order then goes into processing. The vendor can either start the shipping process or they can message the buyer to discuss a higher PFE % or full FE.
  I think the good reasons for PFE are; to give a little protection to the buyer, to give the vendor more incentive to quickly ship your order and there would be less need to go through the whole refund process (harming the buyers stats) because they've already retained a portion of their money.
I realize there are probably ways to part pay the vendor already, I just think a simple button with a box to input the % next to it would make everything open and easy.

Thats a great idea i like it personally...i mean scammers could still do some damage but it would reduce it from  100% to 50%!!
