You only have money in escrow after you make a purchase. Once you order successfully your order stays in processing until the vendor changes it to in transit which should only be after it is mailed. But once you make the purchase your money is held in escrow which means its basically locked in SR until which time you click finalize. I suggest you only finalize after your order is received and if a vendor tries to bully you into doing it early you say no thanks and just cancel my order. Escrow is important to protect both buyer and seller. hope this helps and good luck.
