Have you read the wiki? You'll find most sellers amicable and friendly if you follow protocol.

Just remember that vendor feedback is very easy to forge with fake acounts. When choosing whom to buy from, always search for their name here in the forums to see what people have to say about each vendor and their products. And try not to go out of escrow.

Try not to purchase out of escrow, although it's easier sad than done. Most vendors don't like taking chances on noobs so they ask them to finalize early.But remember finalizing early means you have lost your escrow protection.
