Title: Finalize %50 early
Post by: broncies on July 06, 2013, 11:49 pm
Hey guys, trusted vendor wants me to FE %50 which i have no problem with. The parcel is marked as still processing. How do i go about finalizing half of the cost?
All the best

I know I know but surely if I only FE %50 the other half remains in escrow and if something goes wrong i can get a refund on that at least

how are you gonna FE 50%? A custom listing? There's no option for that so be careful

Okay great ^ that's what i was confused about. definitely won't be doing a full FE. Vendor is Dr Earnhardt if that helps. Could possibly be a selective scammer as i'm in Aus

You shouldn't FE, especially on large orders. If you don't have good buyer stats yet, start with small orders that don't require FE.

The only way to do a 50% FE would be if the vendor split the order into 2 listings. You FE on one and wait until you get the package on the other.

there is absolutely no way for you to FE ONLY 50%. If you FE it will send all of it at once and since its still marked in processing he could chose not to ship anything.

DO NOT DO THIS.

Just wait and tell him you don't want to FE and if he cancels the order then he was scamming you. Any real vendor can wait for the deal to go down before receiving any money.

I always do small order or samples. Good thing I did with this person. I ordered sample etnies never showed at 14 days he offered 25% refund or reship Lamborghini sample free if I FE first. So I did now 14 days after that no show on it. So 28 days total now. So just saying I'm not to sure of his stealth. If I am 0 for 2 on sample. Looking at feedback quiet a few people had no shows. Looks like he try's to make it right but not sure if I will put any real money on an order with this one.
