Title: how to FE?
Post by: staind on June 04, 2013, 07:30 pm
Sorry guys, i know this is a really dumb question. Its my first buy and i cant seem to figure it out.

I ordered from a vendor who requires new buyers to finalize early. I am aware of the risks and willing to take them.
But how do i finalize? I have no finalize button where i think its supposed to be.

The Order has the status "processing", and according to the vendor it wont be shipped until i finalize.


I checked faq and searched the forum, but it looks like Im the only one being too stupid to finalize.
I really dont want to bother my vendor with such a newb question.

best regards

Find a new Vendor. You NEVER FE. It is strictly against the Rules on the Road for a Vendor to request that. This is a way you could possibly lose your money if this Vendor turns out to be a scam.

Thank you for you warning and quick answer.

You are definitely right! My money could be gone.

But i still chose this vendor because i want my goods sent from a certain country with not many vendors offering that product.
I basically had the choice between 2 high ranked vendors, both requiring FE for very new customers.

This is more like an experiment for me, I dont really mind losing the money in this case.

best regards.

When it goes from' processing' to' in transit' you can FE but all the advice here is never to FE.

Maybe you should think about cancelling.
