Hi all.....1st post :)
Should I worry about ordering from a new vendor if they don't require FE?
After all if I don't receive anything I can just dispute.
Am I right in thinking this or am I missing something.
Thanksx

You are right, stay in the escrow system and you will have little to worry about, other than quality and stealth that is.

Thanks for the reply ST6.
That's what I thought.
I'm going to try a new vendor who says they are going to stay in escrow. I searched the forums and others had mentioned they weren't going to take the 'risk' of ordering from aforementioned vendor in case of being scammed, thought it was a bit weird is all.

Just an advice for the future: you will eventually stumble on a vendor who is "perfect" for you ( good price, quality etc.) but will require FE. IF you'll want to buy from him, check his reputation first. 1) the should be real reviews, not "FEing, will post review when i get the order" and 2) take into consideration how old the reviews are. Only trust the vendor if the reviews are 1,2 days old max. If they are older, there is a chance the vendor plans on leaving SR and is just cashing in orders without actually sending them.
But again, the safest way is to NEVER FINALIZE EARLY.
