Title: Question about pre-finalizing
Post by: DigiPimp on January 30, 2012, 02:45 am
I'm a brand new member here, and have yet to make any purchases. The whole online hook up thing is new to me, as well as a bit intimidating, so I want to know everything I can about this before I shell out my hard earned cash.

In regards to pre-finalizing, I keep reading about how buyers are "supposed" to PF on their first few orders. On the other hand, I'm also reading that one should never PF for any reason to avoid being scammed. If someone could break this down and explain this to me I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

There a many vendors who don't require early finalization for new buyers, you just have to look around a bit. If you do decide to order and are required to finalize early make sure you do your research on the vendor to see if you you are comfortable with the risk of early finalization and having your money out of escrow.

That is pretty much the gist of it, some vendors require new buyers to finalize early, others don't. Just do your research, start small and you should be fine. Good luck.
