Title: newbie questions concerning fe
Post by: appetite on August 20, 2013, 06:54 pm
HI er hello,
 I have a couple of questions concerning fe.
have made my first purchase  today and am currently waiting for my deliveries' status to change, its currently processing.
in the sellers policy they state that new users will be requested to fe. feedback is very positive with 300+ transactions in the last year. some feedbacks state that they have fe'd too.

am assuming that the rep of the seller is good and that they will require me to fe as its first purchase. infact i looked around and most sellers of my specific product in my country stated in their policy that fe was required for under 5 transactions.

YET i keep reading that fe-ing is not a good idea. am currently balancing this up in my head and waiting for my order to change status in the mean time.  i must say that i am eager to receive my purchase too.


please can someone advise me, not sure what to do if all the sellers are stating fe necessary for first purchase.

FE is almost never a good option. Never do it. You're fucked if you never get your shit.

If you have no transaction history, you may be required to FE by many vendors.  This can be circumvented however by purchasing low price listings like movies or lotteries in order to boost your number of transactions. 

I have a lottery going right now.  Check me out.

It's simply not true that most vendors will ask newbs to FE. Find another vendor. I did. I've made 5 orders with no FE.

The risk in FE is if the vendor scams/selective scams/you never get the product then you will not be able to get a refund through the resolution center. Not all FE requests are a scam, and FE is not the only type of scam you can become a victim of.

Very good post.

 My first order was for a qp and the vendor (weedgirls, my first love) didn't make me FE.

I've also FE'd a couple time without being asked to on smaller orders, cause I'm a baller,

But yeah moral of the story is don't FE with money you can't afford to lose. Also stay away from thurgood jenkins greasy ass.

If you're worried about FE find another vendor that will ship out small quantities to new members with no FE requirement

I have done a few small orders and some lotteries to build up.
