Can the vendors get a shorter auto-finalize for buyers with 5 purchases or less? Ive had a couple of buyers recently that have waited the entire time.

i think it should be shorter for domestic orders and longer for international orders. i had one overseas seller giving me the run around saying "it could take 18 days to reach US" so i waited and it never came. I tried to click the "resolve" link but i kept getting "page not available", so i just said "fuck it, i'll try to resolve it tomorrow" but when i went to resolve the next day it had already auto-finalized, and now i dont know if i'm going to get my product or be out a few hundred bucks.

I've had my buyer profile partially sullied by auto-finalization.
I know as an international buyer it can take up to 21 days (well it's day 22 I contact the vendor at least), am in no rush, and have had all but ONE package arrive.
All of the auto-finalize percentage of my buyer stats arrived, typically within that same week it auto-finalized, so there is a downside (to the buyer) to reducing the auto-finalize time.
I was never holding the vendor's BTC hostage in escrow and release as soon as I get it, if it took 20 days then bad luck for the vendor this time, just like buyer's have bad luck once in a while too, except this time my patience earned me the penalty of having a higher auto-finalize % in my buyer stat's.
I think it would be pretty difficult to find middle ground for both vendor and buyer, and the current time seems in general to be working, changing it would create more problems then solutions.
