Placed an order, Vendor accepted on condition of finalizing early
I go to the order page and the item is listed as in transit with the options to finalize/resolve but those words have no link like they normally do. So I cant click on finalize (or resolve)
Any idea? Ive tried different browsers that didnt help

You can't finalize for a new vendor for like 4 days I believe, and they can lose their vendor account for requiring you to. You should never finalize early for anyone though. Finalizing early is just letting the scams continue, all the best vendors let everyone stay in escrow, even new buyers.
This shit needs to stop, if you want to finalize early go take $100 put it in an envelope with your address on it, go down to your local drug scene hand it to the sketchiest looking guy there and drive home, then come on here and tell us how you have faith that he'll mail you drugs. You've got about as much a chance getting drugs that way as you do with these scams.

Thanks I told vendor I would not finalize early and to either send order or cancel.
It seems to me that many vendors require finalizing early ( or so they say) before they ship to you. Should I be reporting these vendors to SR support?

Vendors are allowed to ask you to finalize early if they aren't new, if the vendor doesn't have at least I think its 45 transactions, they aren't.

Yes you should report all new vendors asking to FE .
I have had a similar problem I never ask any customers to FE , as I follow the rules laid down in the sellers guide. I think it is 35 transactions before I can . I processed a couple of orders yesterday and posted yesterday they received them today , but they cannot pay me yet as the finalize option is not available. Feels like I am being punished for providing a swift service , but this is to protect you from being scammed , if they asked you to FE , chances are if they are new they are scammers.
We need to get these folk of SR as they give us all a bad name. I am a legitimate vendor and that can be confirmed by my feedback , I would never ask any one to FE , the rules are there for a reason .
Have a nice day
Kind regards
