What is FE in this setting? Thanks! :)
-
Finish Early ( Ofcourse ) ::)
-
FE = Finalize Early.
This bypasses the protections offered by the Escrow system. If your packakge never arrives, there's really nothing you can do if the seller themselves isn't willing to help. Make sure to do your part to ensure the package does arrive.

Finalize Early
Highly recommend against this unless you know what you are getting yourself into.

Hon, it means look elsewhere....
it also means, even though you can't post in the other forums, that you need to READ them - hell, just read the buyer's guide... they are there for YOUR benefit.
DON'T EVER FE on an amount you wouldn't throw away. kk, FE means "Finalize Early" and you'll have to do this for "x" numbers of purchases before "x" vendor will sell to you if you are a "new" buyer. So, the $180 gram of coke you want is NOT one you want to FE on.... buy some "somethings" else - digital goods, etc. that can be delivered and "FINALized" immediately. This will start you on your way to building buyer stats that will make the over-priced coke vendor comfortable in dealing with you. AND STILL DO NOT FE with said vendor - unless of course, you don't mind getting fucked. i'm not saying you won't have a successful transaction... i'm just saying you should be able to afford it if you don't. SR escrow is there for a reason and it has been supremely useful to me on the couple of times i had something go amiss - actually, it saved the vendors a headache as well.
i am concerned that because you didn't catch what "FE" meant here in this sub-forum that you aren't familiar with PGP/GPG either... PLEASE for fucksake learn it and never use the road without it. Ever. PGP keeps us all safe, kk?
i hope i didn't come off like a cunt here, i just feel really strongly about safety and ethics (yes, even when dealing with drug dealers and addicts and users and so on...) in any business transaction. Truly, i'm sometimes a right cunt, but wasn't my intention here, dig?
