Title: FE question.
Post by: devav on May 08, 2012, 12:46 am
Hello guys and girls :D

I would be interested in, if we ask the SR admins to delete the Finalize early option would they do it?
After noriega has scammed me, i started thinking for why this option is there, but i didnt find any point.
It mostly used by the scammers. If there is a good seller with enough background and money he/she wouldnt need this.
I think if a lot of people will say for the admins they might delete the FE option. And there will be not anymore same question should i FE or not.
A lot of newbie buyer do not read the forums so they do not know about to never FE.
Like 420 scam shouldnt be happen.

Well this will be a message then to all newbie buyers that finally wise up and read these forums:

The finalize early option needs to stay regardless if people are stupid enough to use it. This site exists because of the venders, the buyers will flock to any system and are not the major target of LEO. When venders require new buyers to FE it is done to protect them so that they do not get scammed by the buyers.

Venders also need to get paid so that they can restore their stock and continue vending. When you place a large order of 40 BTC and you let it sit there in escrow for 17 days the value of the bitcoin has the potential to drop dramatically and the vender can loose a lot of money.

The warning is everywhere whether you are new or not and this is the illegal drug market. Start to learn that there are risks here as their are in real life. We will just use the FE option to weed out morons if anything else.

If you have a better system that will protect BOTH the venders and buyers and not just the buyers please propose it and many people will be happy to listen. But getting rid of FE for now is just a stupid option and many venders WILL leave.

also considering that most vendors dont always have enough capital to keep tons of product around, so those that require to Finalize Early, get the coins, cash out then go purchase the product, and ship it to you... for a profit of course. i dont mind this... but this is the system we have to work with and it tends to work well... just my .2 cents.

um yeah, there's not even a "finalize early" feature, there's a "finalize" button and I don't think mods can stop gullible fucks into clicking that button before they have received their orders.... so I have to agree w/ what lvlbrained said.

i dont agree with the first post but i do think sr should make it so that vendors cannot require you to FE. if they do then report them or something and the admins can decide the punishment or whatever. people could still FE if they wanted to but should not be a requirment imo. or something generally like that would work i think. there are plenty of vendors that dont require FE and even tell you not to do so until you recieve your shit. so why does anybody else. maybe make the autofinalize date not so long or make the time depend on the distance between the vendor and the buyer... just a helpful suggestion.

I get why vendors want/need this feature and it should stay but at the end of the day, it is still up to the buyer to FE or not.

I have gotten ripped off twice by going out of business sales/scams.  Solid vendors with stellar stats taking one big one for the road (or I should say, against the road).  Lesson learned, don't finalize early, find another vendor instead.

Peace.
